Ammo

Colt Canyon has an ammunition system built on five basic ammo types. All weapons use one of the five ammo types, except for throwable weapons, which don't require any ammo. Ammunition can be found in all kinds of containers and crates but is also dropped from enemies after their demise. Ammo is also a very popular currency in the canyon.

Ammo Light Rounds.png Light Rounds
Also known as rounds, pistol ammo, revolver ammo, small rounds or light ammo. This is the default ammo type as it is the most common ammo in the canyon and used in small weapons like revolvers and pistols. It's usually not very powerful but does its job reliably and cheaply. It's the first ammo type, read from the left side, displayed in the HUD.

In game this ammo can be found a lot in all kinds of crates and gets dropped from all types of enemies.

Ammo Heavy Rounds.png Heavy Rounds
Also known as rifle ammo, heavy ammo, sniper ammo or rifle rounds. This is a stronger version of the default light ammo and is usually used in rifles and long-range weapons with a lot of power. It's not as common as light ammo and is therefore more valuable.

In game this ammo can be found in all kinds of crates and gets dropped from most types of enemies.

Ammo Shell Rounds.png Shells
Also known as shotgun ammo, shell ammo, or shell rounds. This ammo type comes in various forms. Some weapons produce a single big and very powerful projectile and some other weapons produce a lot of weaker projectiles that all fire at once and over a short but wide area. Usually lacks penetration power and range but is very good at stopping enemies and damaging shields.

In game this ammo can be found in all kinds of crates and gets dropped from most types of enemies.

Ammo Arrows.png Arrows
Also known as bow ammo. This ammo type is not based on gunpowder and therefore weapons that use this ammo are usually slower to reload but very silent and still very deadly. Usually limited range and penetration power, but still the favorite choice of every silent assassin. With the right upgrade arrows become even stronger and can even be reused after firing.

In game this ammo can be found in all kinds of crates and gets dropped from most types of enemies.

Ammo Dynamite.png Dynamite
Also known as TNT or explosives. This ammo type is special because it can also be used without any compatible weapon equipped. The player has the option to ignite a pack of dynamite and throw it. A powerful explosion will be created. Instead of throwing a whole pack of dynamite it is also possible to use a pack as ammo for special weapons like cannons. Usually one dynamite is enough to allow for multiple triggers of such a weapon. In game this ammo is rarely found in crates and gets dropped rarely from enemies. The most reliable way to get dynamite is by finding and looting the unique dynamite crates marked with a dark slash on top of the small crate.
