Explosive Bullets

[Relyks2000]

I'm trying to use explosive bullets to get the achievement for 3 kills with one bullet. I have the Blower R93 equipped (as I realized not all rifles can do all special ammo) and I have unlocked the skill for "special ammo holster", plus I have that skill selected/active. But when I start a new contract, even though I have explosive bullets chosen in the second ammo slot in the loadout, I do not seem to have explosive bullets (it just shows X for the second and third ammo slot). I realized the special mag doesn't require anything other than cash so I bought it, but I STILL don't have explosive bullets even though I started a new contract mission. I have the Blower R93 with special mag, special ammo slot #1 is unlocked with explosive bullets equipped, but there is only an X in the ammo slot when the mission begins. So confusing.

Perhaps you've bought it but forgot to equip it from the loadout menu. Press Z change the bullet afterwards. however, a could you possibly share a screenshot? Its not a bug if you're asking.

I'll give some screenshots tonight after work. I have triple checked that I have the magazine and the ammo equipped in that rifle. And I restarted the mission (the second one) twice just to make sure I wasn't continuing a previous one so that the loadout should be in effect. I haven't tried using Z on the keyboard, I was just using the weapon wheel and it shows the 3 ammo slots with a certain number for the first slot, but X's for the 2nd and 3rd slots. I can provide screenshots of all of that later. I might be able to load it up via remote desktop from work and take the screenshots....

Hey, using Z did work. I'm not sure what is being show in the weapon wheel, but that did allow me to do it and get the achievement. Thanks!

Yeah the thing I was missing was to use "Z" to switch the ammo. I have all 57 skills and a correct rifle. It was fixed by the comment above.
