Ammunition (DX)

Ammunition (or ammo) are consumable items used by weapons in Deus Ex. This page lists all types ammunition along with their descriptions. Ammunition is stored in the player's inventory without taking up any space in the inventory grid. However, each type of ammunition has a limit as to the maximum number of rounds that can be stored at any given time. Certain types of ammunition are used by multiple weapons, while certain weapons are capable of equipping multiple types of ammunition.
