📋 About This Mod
In the base game (with upgrades) arthur can carry 400 bullets per category, which lets say is a bit unrealistic. This mod caps all ammuniton types at 40 so that problem is gone now.
HOW DOES IT WORK
-all ammo is capped on 40
-shotgun ammo is capped at 20
-pistols ammo is capped at 70
-NEW varmint ammo has been added!
-explosive and incendiary ammo isn't touched
-everything is customizable in the .ini file
INSTALLATION
extract the archive and put ammo.asi, ammo.ini and scripthook rdr2 (not included with the mod) into the game folder.
Suggestions are welcome!
KNOWN ISSUES
The visual ammo number in the weapon wheel doesn't change. I'm sorry but currently it is impossible to change that.
When crafting split point ammo, the game doesn't stop you from crafting more if you reach the limit. It also cannot be fixed
SPECIAL THANKS
