Ammo

Ammo, also known as Clip Size, is a stat that dictates the maximum number of rounds that can be stored and fired from a weapon. As the weapon is fired, the number of available rounds decreases from the maximum to zero, at which point no more rounds can be fired. Weapons can be reloaded to regain rounds up to the maximum.

Notes

Ammo under the stamina bar

Ammo is displayed as a number under the stamina bars. The left number is the current ammo count, and the right number is the full magazine capacity.

While sliding, the player has infinite ammo, indicated by a light green infinity symbol.

For heroes who have an alternate fire, shooting with the alt fire consumes more than one ammo round at once. However, the player can still use alt fire with only one round left.

Math

The formula for clip size increase is: $x_f=\lceil (x_i+\sum ^n\text{BonusClipSize})\ast (1+\sum ^n\text{BonusClipSizePercent}+\sum ^n\text{Golden Statues})\rceil$

where $\text{BonusClipSize}$ is additive ammo, $\text{BonusClipSizePercent}$ is multiplicative ammo, and $\text{Golden Statues}$ is the golden statue bonus.

• Golden Statues can provide a permanent increase: +4% Ammo before 10 minutes, or +6% Ammo before 30 minutes, or +8% Ammo after 30 minutes.
• Powerup runes can provide a temporary Gun buff that provides +20% to +60% Ammo for 160 seconds (scaling with game time from 5 to 40 minutes).

Trivia

• Wraith's clip size is 52 as a reference to the number of cards in a poker deck. Her original clip size was 50. It was changed based on a player's suggestion in the official Deadlock Discord.
