Ammunition

There is a wide variety of ammunition in Zero Sievert. The players choice of ammunition will depend on availability and the enemies that are engaging. This page lists all ammunitions in Zero Sievert, to learn more about the damage that each bullet deals, see the ammunition statistics table

General information

A Weapon can accept any type of ammo of the correct calibre. e.g. An EC 74 will accept all types of 5.45x39mm. There are currently four categories of ammunition. The names are taken from real life bullets and unless familiar with those, the player will have to rely on comparing stats or looking at the icons, which have visual identifiers for quickly seeing what type it is.

• Standard - The default ammunition of the calibre. Can be identified by the lack of black markings.
• Armor Piercing - Increased penetration at the expense of other stats. Can be identified by the black tip on the bullet.
• Hollow Point - Increased damaged at the expense of other stats. Can be identified by a black band on the upper part of the icon.
• Subsonic - Reduced recoil at the expense of other stats. Can be identified by a black band that is missing the middle section.

To change the ammo type - press Y, while standing still. The game will not automatically change type once you run out and try to reload.
