Claire and 9mm ammo?

[Bullett00th]

I'm not far into Claire's campaign but almost done with the police station and yet to encounter any 9mm ammo for Claire.

What am I missing? I thought she was given a 9mm starting revolver just because, but first I find a reload upgrade for it and then a 9mm handgun in the police car. What's up with that? Will I find 9mm ammo further on? And is this new gun worth using over the .45 revolver?

2° run? Only .45 , you can create 9mm bullets.

B scenario only has .45 ACP ammo for M19/Quickdraw Army. If you want some 9mm - you need to craft them with gunpowder.

As far as I know, .45 ACP is slightly more powerful, but that's it.

[Bullett00th]

yes, 2nd run. Didn't realize it mattered. Is that different otherwise and I find different ammo with Claire? Cause I'll be playing that too eventually.

also I haven't sued gunpowder yet but I assumed it makes .45 for Claire. That's not the case? I can't craft it at all?

Yes, you can't craft them, only 9mm. ACPs are scattered throughout the whole game for you. There's plenty of them tho, don't worry.

Gunpowder still makes 9mm in the 2nd Run, but all ammo pickups are replaced with .45 and each character gets a special .45 caliber handgun in the 2nd Run.

Thanks. I guess I won't be crafting pistol ammo then.

QUestion is, should I even bother with SMG ammo or just pump it all into acid rounds? Those sound way better

When you play B scenario, 9mm ammo is replaced with .45 ammo and you're given a special weapon that uses that ammunition. It is better than your standard 9mm (I assume to make your life easier). If you still wanna use your 9mm for some reason, you can craft them by mixing two gunpowder A

Acid rounds are mostly only useful for Lickers, of which you won't fight that many, and you'll only need one per. Hit them once directly then switch to your pistol or SMG to finish them off while they're stunned.

SMG ammo would be more useful for fighting the bosses overall, either way though you'll have leftover gunpowder to make pistol ammo. Claire also get's access to another 9mm pistol that you'll find to be a bit nicer than the revolver. The revolver get's it's uses too, though...

If you're gonna play Leon B at some point, you better craft some tho. Fully upgraded Matilda is sick.

Definetely acid rounds. Maybe it's just me, but SMG is pretty lackluster in this game.

Only useful vs lickers? Didn't expect to hear that... So it's worse against bosses? What about fire rounds? From what I udnerstand I can't craft it

Also since I'm on the topic, is the suppressor worth putting on the SMG? The reduced recoil is nice but I suppose it doesn't serve much purpose beyond that. I stealth past lickers. Or Mr.X ignores shots from suppressed SMG?

Matilda is not too bad. I'd prefer to craft shotgun shells but the shotgun torned out to be a tad underwhelming so the normal gunpowder went to pistol rounds anyway on my Leon A campaign

I honestly only made acid rounds with what i found and saved them for bosses. It stuns most bosses and is useful for anything that isnt a basic zombie. Flame rounds should be saved for the unavoidable enemies in the 2nd part of the lab. you will find enough smg ammo around to not really need to make any

[Uzi Master]

They just don't do a whole lot of damage, you can use it to stun bosses in no health item runs or something, but they lack killing power. Flame rounds do significantly more damage, some enemies can only be permamently killed with them. Acid roudns do disolve zombie legs in one hit, and could do that to a group, but for the ammount of acid you get from mixing it just seems more useful to have the extra SMG and pistol ammo.

Silenced SMG does not alert Lickers or Mr.X to your presence, and the stability is nice because you often have to hit weak spots, recoil would make going full auto miss a lot more without the surpressor.

SMG is AMAZING against Birkin, absolutely melts him.

To be honest, I missed every single upgrade for SMG on my first playthrough, so maybe that's the reason I disliked it.

I wonder if lickers take more acid damage than fire. Shot one with a fire grenade, but he ate 6 revolver .45 bullets during fire panic and leaped at me after. Had to use 2 launcher shots.
