Obtaining and Using Ammo Modifications Efficiently

Players can enhance their gameplay by adding Ammo Modifications to their primary and melee weapons. These mods bring powerful elemental effects with them, adding an edge to your arsenal. Obtained through the Arsenal Machine utilizing Salvage, these resources are collected during the course of gameplay.

Only one Ammo Mod can be equipped on a weapon at a time, but players can switch mods as needed, adapting to different enemies and challenges. For controlling large groups of enemies early on, Dead Wire or Cryo Freeze prove useful. As progress is made through the rounds, Brain Rot becomes a strategic choice, diverting zombies and easing the pressure during intense waves.

For fast enemy takedowns, Napalm Burst or Shadow Rift stand out, while Light Mend is more suited for improving the survivability of the team. Combining an Ammo Mod with the Elemental Pop Perk-a-Cola enhances combat efficiency, as it triggers random mod effects on enemies while shooting.

Players can enhance their gameplay further by exploring maps like Liberty Falls and searching for set spawn locations for these Arsenal Machines.
