Selling Ammo for Profit

What ammo to sell to maximize income? The answer is Force Gun.

Intro

In the remake, just like in the original, Isaac only receives ammo from dead necromorphs for the weapons he currently has in the inventory. That means by moving specific weapons to the storage in the store and keeping others, you can maximize income from selling excessive ammo, because each ammo costs differently.

This will allow you to buy more nodes to upgrade faster, get more med packs if you need them, or get more ammo for the weapons you are actually using.

This is especially useful if you are doing a run for "One Gun" achievement where you are only allowed to shoot with Plasma Cutter, and may play a role on Impossible difficulty.

The data is from Hard difficulty, because that's the difficulty I played. It might be dropping different amount of ammo or ammo costs differently on easier difficulties, but I haven't checked.

Ammo Prices

Gun	Chapter	Ammo	Drop Size	Price per 1	Price per Drop
Plasma Cutter	Ch. 1	Plasma Energy	6	100$	600$
Pulse Rifle	Ch. 2	Pulse Rounds	25	25$	625$
Ripper	Ch. 3	Ripper Blades	3	250$	750$
Flamethrower	Ch. 3	Flamethrower Fuel	25	35$	875$
Contact Beam	Ch. 4	Contact Energy	5	200$	1000$
Line Gun	Ch. 4/5	Line Racks	3	350$	1050$
Force Gun	Ch. 6	Force Energy	3	400$	1200$

Conclusion

As you can see, Force Gun is the weapon you want to carry with you to maximize income.

The order in which you gain the weapons is pretty straight forward. Ammo for each new weapon costs more than previous ones each time. So until you get your hands on Force Gun in chapter 6, you can put your current weapon that you are carrying for ammo in the storage as soon as you get a new one.

But don't forget that you must save that ammo, so remember to bring another weapon to actually use (aka Plasma Cutter xD)!

Thanks for reading and have happy scares! <3
