Medium caliber mag chap 1 locations?

[Ryukan]

I would like to know if im missing any fix loot mag before going to chap 2, ive got 4 by now, 1 in the brook (dry meadow), 1 in the tank (silent forest), 1 in the hunter cab ( old woods) and the last one in the wolf s camp crate (although im not supposed to open it), is there any that im missing? I thought Wolf used to sell those but it seems its not the case...

AK mags are generally random loot spawns (and rare), so 4 mags is a good haul to take into chapter 2.

If you have looted every single location in chapter 1 you probably haven't missed any extra mags. You will likely find more in chapter 2.

Mags are crate items only, they cannot be bought from any traders. Therefore they are non-replenishable items. So you have to think about which situations you intend on using the limited ammo AK for..

However, if you hacked the wolf crates you possibly have the other automatic weapon in the game. The ammo for this gun is replenishable and abundant, which makes it OP (so the rest of the game will be easy mode and the AK will just be a luxury item).

You're right, Wolfman used to sell AK clips in pre-alpha versions. I imagine this was changed to balance the strength of automatic weapons (this would also explain the vaulting of the SMG).

As for the randomness of loot, each loot location is slightly different (most are pre-set though).. for example, in your current playthrough you obtained one of your AK clips from the container in the brook..

One of the loot slots in that container definitely seems to be random, although it does always seem to be some type of ammo (I quite often get a rifle bullet or pistol clip there, instead of a mag).

Some loot slots are pre-set, for example there will always be a mag in one of the tank wrecks. I can't remember where the other pre-set locations for mags are but it does sound like you got them all..

..I think I usually end up with 2 or 3 mags from chapter 1 (and I loot every single location). I'm guessing that's at least 2 pre-set spawns and at least one random spawn.

Note - The wiki says you get one of each ammo type from the loot in the brook. I'm pretty sure this is outdated, it just gives you the chance of finding one of those types of ammo plus 2 other items. For example, In my last run I got alcohol/gasoline/rifle bullet (the alcohol & gasoline may be pre-set)

Thank you, im gonna move on then, guess i got lucky on the brook ( its kinda make sense to have medium mags on the tank and the hunter cabin), too bad you cant buy it, i understand it cuz even though the AK is kinda lackluster, it would give no reason to use any other weapon (ammo wise), since you can kill more stuff with a single clip than with all the other ammo you can get from the trader in a single day combined, but i wish there was at least a random chance for the trader to sell those every week or so. Damn, im pretty sure i ll end up just wasting slots saving those mag, being too afraid of using and i ll reach the end of the game without using it... haha
