(spoilers) (solved) Not enough ammo for the Carlos thing

[Junkman]

Anyone else struggling with the wave-based hospital part? I just run 100% out of ammo after the shutters finally come down and still have like 8 zombies and that bigger ninja turtle guy left.

I played it three times, no spray and pray, just calm collected headshots and still can't even come close to having enough.

EDIT:

UPDATE

Ok so it looks like the answer for me was the electric box things. Originally when I tried them I thought they were worthless, just a "slow them down" kinda thing but it turns out that while they are being electrocuted their HP goes to like 1. Anything will finish them off.

Very helpful.

it was pretty easy for me.

[Junkman]

Were you playing on easy and or had more ammo to start? I start with 18 pistol ammo and only like 90 rifle ammo.

I just wait for the zombies to gather and shoot the electrical boxes thingy.

[Junkman]

I did that the first time and they just buzzed and sparked and got right back up 0.o

What difficulty? It was pretty okay for me on standard.

[YoungerDryas]

Standard or hardcore? I never once had a single issue with ammo and I was basically playing call of duty for that part.

[Morbis]

Headshots are pretty much useless unless it's with the shotgun or magnum.
It's a big problem with this game just how bullet spongy enemies are.

Needed 4 attempts on hardcore. Think they spawned 3 hunters. And it's all about getting the most out of the grenade they give you.

I feel like I had plenty of ammo. The whole hospital portion before this gave me a ton of ammo that I didn't think I was going to need until this part so when I actually got into this part I was fully stocked on ammo and grenades.

[Konran]

Standard as well? I never ran out of ammo while playing with him.

I just finished it ten minutes ago. Only got through due to grenades.

[Junkman]

Just Standard, weird.

The game gives you two grenades which is enough to kill both hunters as its only one grenade per hunter. Just focus on headshots and kiting. Use the gens just keep shooting if they turn into those tentacle things and it'll kill them before they spawn.

[Junkman]

It actually gives me 3 and I used 2 on massive crowds by the door and 1 on a hunter but then ran out of ammo for the second. I think I will try the electro box again once I get home.

It is weird. Carlos have enough bullets to complete this section easly (at least on hard).
On hard difficulty each zombie dies from 5 handgun bullets + knife(or another bullet), or with 6+1 AR bullets. If you kill Brad for keykard and loot everything you have enough ammo to kill every zombie in RPD and hospital.
Plus you will get some crits.
p.s. If you will be smart with AR mag upgrade, that is additional 60 rounds for free.

I think I had around 300 ammo before the waves started and a few grenades, honestly wasn't counting. But then again, I haven't used the AR at RPD at all while playing on hardcore, I blatantly dodged and staggered with the pistol for the most part (and at the showers scene, just land the grenade that you get from the armory, pretty sure that's the only way to not use the M4 till the 2'nd part of the hospital). You may want to load back to the start of RPD and do the same, luckily the Jill part takes roughly 5 minutes and it takes around 10 minutes to get to the waves, so I'd do that in your case. 1 & a half mag for the AR sounds impossible in that mission.
