moose109 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 If I give an npc hollow point ammo, do they get the benefit of the ammo type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPDGaffney Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) As far as I know, they will require at least one bullet to have infinite ammo. Then they'll use the ammo, I believe, with the highest DPS, regardless of what enemy they're facing. So, if you give them only that ammo type and only that gun, they should use that for sure. Just make sure the weapon in question is set for NPCs not to use ammo, or just give them a lot of ammo. Also, they may try to pick up more ammo for the weapon they have if it's in the area and they're in combat, so hopefully there's no source of regular bullets for their gun near them. Their combat style may allow or mandate melee weapons, so if you want to be certain, choose a style that mandates ranged weapons and don't let them have others. There are other things that affect this but without more information, I'd have to guess this would be a generally good way to do it and thus something you can use. Edit: never mind about picking up regular ammo, as it would be a lower DPS, but they may still try to pick up other weapons with a higher DPS. Doesn't happen too often, though.
