Best gunpowder's mix

[Claudio83[ITA]]

Hi,

For you is better mix the two different types of gunpowder for create handgun ammo, shotgun ammo or MAG ammo?

MAG

[xNinja83x]

Mag and shotgun first IMO, I saved mine until the end of the lab and went out like rambo.

[Silamon]

I mainly made shotgun and mag ammo, I only made handgun ammo when I didnt have any high grade powder and I needed something to shoot with.

Magnum ammo tends to be the best.

I only craft Shotgun ammo, you find enough Desert Eagle's ammo to fight the bosses. Unlike you know, you wanna blast a .50 round in every zombie you see

[Shiroi Ren]

I only craft handgun and MAG bullets. Shotgun is meh weapon in comparison to fully upgraded Matilda.

Shotgun only.
Dont create them unless you find large gunpower to make 6 shells.

Making mag ammo is a huge waste since you cannot combine it with large gunpower and your giving up potentially 12 shotgun shells to make however many mag ammo gives you (never done it myself since i would guess its 3 or something small)

The pistol is completely useless except for dogs... It takes 1-2 shotgun shells to kill a zombie and potentially 14 headshots with the pistol.

Well, I played on normal so I saw Leon's shotgun as a waste of slots. No firepower to deal with bigger threats, no accuracy and generally only useful against zombies. Against whom do you usually use shotgun?

It takes only 3-5 bullets to kill zombie on Normal. Licker doesn't even need bullets.

Zombies. It one shots em.
Lickers it 3-4 shots em.

Even grenades wont usually kill a zombie.

No weapon is a waste, and no gunpowder combination is wasteful either. When you can largly kill the final bosses in the game with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ knife, not even the infinite one on hardcore difficulty.

Do whichever mixes you are most comfortable with, or whatever you feel will serve you most.

You must be seriously lucky with your crit rolls then.
I have NEVER killed a zombies in less then 9 headshots.

Why waste bullets on Licker? It has the same weakness as in the original. Somehow... =_=

I played on Normal... You can down every zombie with 3-5 headshots and several knife strikes. Don't use knife as escape weapon.

They surprised me sometimes when i least expected them. Its nice to have a competent gun for when that happens.

I also actually liked the flamethrower quite a bit too... in the area where we get it i was reminded of aliens... Especially with the things breaking through the chest.


And yeah i guess if you knife them also after you shoot them... Or just blow their head apart in one shotgun blast :p

Flash grenade and kill them silently without gunshots. It is possible on normal to kill both of them with one flash grenade if they were close to each other.

Flamethrower is much more useful in comparison to original.

I preffered to mix the big ammo for shells, and all the other for handgun and magnum ammo.

The shotgun is really only useful for zombies, Lickers and bosses are jsut too dangerous and hard to stun to get close enough to make the most out of it. The Handgun is rather useful for bosses, especially with Leon's burst capabilities.
