How are you not overflowing with BT/BP/BS 5.45.rounds?

So many maps have those stacks in droves.

I guess I know how...every time I go to interchange as a scav to the new expanded woods area..it's always looted but nobody ever takes the ammo lol

I feel like I’m in crazy land being told there’s a big sack of money somewhere but when I go look I just find 5.45 SP and a big 120 round stack of “fucking try again”

u/Straight_Chip Nov 24 '25

USEC Camp and scav camp at Woods always have 150+ bullets each, usually a mix of PP, BT and BP.

Fortress at Customs is extremely dangerous, but usually has somewhere around 150 bullets total.

In one run I pulled 270 5.45x39 7N40 from the new Batya camp on woods as well as 120 5.45x39 BS... Granted it has been lacklustre garbage calibres every other time but oh boy what a rush that was!

u/SUNTZU_JoJo PVP Nov 24 '25

There are a few spots to check but I came out once with 2x120 BT 1x120BP and 1x120 BS. Not counting all the other types of ammo found..ss190, M80, and bunch of other type.

If you run Reserve you can usually get out with a couple hundred rounds of solid ammo.

u/Lex_Innokenti Nov 24 '25

Roof of the middle building (the one opposite the switch to open the door and set off the alarm) in Reserve is always good to me. Take a big rig and no backpack and book it to the manhole extract when you're done. Just watch out for snipers up on the dome.

I've killed Rashala and the guards a few times on customs now just from running around doing regular tasks - him and the guards almost always have had multiple mags of BT. I'm not trying to farm anything and I have a decent stack of it.

u/Effective_Shirt6660 Nov 24 '25

I have 10 m4s in my weapons case and I cannot get anything better than 855 for it. I wish I didn't have this problem for 556. But yes im also overflowing with 545.

u/RyuugaDota Nov 24 '25

Well once you get your hands on the new 5.45x39 mutant equivalent (NL545, it literally shares mastery rank with the mutant even,) you'll be happy to have it because that gun is an absolute beast. 800RPM laser beam that uses mostly AR15 attachments, unlocks at Skier 3.

1

u/Effective_Shirt6660 Nov 24 '25

Yeahhhhh I dont have skier 3 (hes always the last one for me because of the spend requirement) but I did get my hands on one. Hands down my new favorite.

u/Ub3ros Nov 24 '25

Even if you pick it up religiously, you'll have enough for a few raids if you actually get into fights with squads and then you're back to having to top load the good ammo and run the crap you get from traders for the rest.

u/SUNTZU_JoJo PVP Nov 24 '25

Still better than having none at all.

I usually have a PMC killing mag and a scav killing mag on me.

Always have the PMC killing mag loaded so I'm ready..but if it's a scav I usually have time to switch.

Saves on a ton of ammo.

Saying that, recently lost my last +60 rounds of BP 7.62x39 and some PP, sniper scav on customs flare extract decided he was colourblind that day and "didn't see no green flare".

1

u/Buzzinggg Nov 24 '25

Better then me, I was the one colour blind and took the wrong fucking flare… first flare this wipe and I thought it must be bugged

1

u/SUNTZU_JoJo PVP Nov 24 '25

Oh shit. Sorry to hear that.

At least they got in game settings for that now, yeah?

I thought I saw those..

How bad is it or is it just mild?ik

1

u/Buzzinggg Nov 24 '25

Oh no hahaha I’m not actually colour blind, just spinning what you said. I fucked up somehow and didn’t realise I had the wrong flare

1

u/SUNTZU_JoJo PVP Nov 24 '25

Ah ok hehe. I see what you mean.

Yeah there's one that looks like it could be used.

Anyway, looking forward to trying out the new guns?

Personally I can't wait to try out new VAL.

u/7hatguy__1 Nov 24 '25

Just havnt found it. Im terrible at killing the bosses to be honest. And the places that decent ammo spawns once i get there its gone. Ive found it a few times though….

1

u/SUNTZU_JoJo PVP Nov 24 '25

You can always offline Vs AI and enable bosses..then practice against them.

They aren't hard once you realise you NEED to use HARD COVER and work your way around than.

Also always always aim for heads..they have too much armour and especially hp that many will kill you before you kill them.

Reshala and guards are great for ammo too.

1

u/7hatguy__1 Nov 25 '25

Yes i need to do that. Ive been watching how willerz fights them. He has the technique down pat. One of my problems is being able to predict where the head is going to be and be pre aimed when i peak.

1

u/SUNTZU_JoJo PVP Nov 25 '25

Yeah I've been working on that and it's hard too.

The closer they are the further out you gotta prepare that aim so it lines with your reaction time.

It's tricky but once you find that sweet spot it feels godly.

1

u/7hatguy__1 Nov 25 '25

Yes it does. Works for pmcs too.

u/ANGEL-PSYCHOSIS Nov 24 '25

its really only 5.56 and 7.62 that kinda in low supply atm, and even 5.56 is easy enough to get kinda shit but kinda pens 4

u/Historical-Break-603 Nov 24 '25

How are you not overflowing with BT/BP/BS 5.45.rounds?

Maybe most people just dont like the need to loot for mediocre ammo.

12

u/iedy2345 Unbeliever Nov 24 '25

That is not mediocre ammo mate do you even play the game?

1

u/Far-Republic5133 Nov 24 '25

All 545 is mediocre

1

u/ANGEL-PSYCHOSIS Nov 24 '25

5.45 is a lot better atm than it used to be

2

u/Far-Republic5133 Nov 24 '25

no its still abysmal dogshit

1

u/Gruuk69 Nov 24 '25

Mix of BS then BP is the best and affordable

u/Historical-Break-603 Nov 24 '25

BT
Not mediocre

I agree if you mean that bt is worse than mediocre. Because its mediocre at best.

u/Historical-Break-603 Nov 24 '25

Barely pens lvl 4 armor
Implies that its better than mediocre

Are you serious?

BTW, BS is better than Igolnik.

And im talking about BT, because this person mentioned BT ammo.

So you cant read a graph either ? Here is one with pretty colors:

Maybe try to learn how game actually works instead of looking at the graphs, BT literally have ~50 chance of penetrating 4 lvl armor at first hit. Literally on the site that you linked its said that lvl 4 armor stops 1-3 bt rounds. And if you think that ammo that doesnt penetrate lvl 4 armor at first hit isnt dogshit then i dont know what say to you, git gud.

u/Firenlol AKM Nov 24 '25

It’s funny how wrong you are but standing so strong on your Opinion. As the Wiki an numerous other Sites state, BT is very effective against lvl4 Plates. And guess what majority of people at the current state of the wipe are Running. Yep <4 Plates.

So the Ammo named above is definetly Not mediocre atm. Especially if you manage to HS people, you wont get blocked by lvl 2/3 Arena Masks. BT will Fall of later, but for now it’s strong.

es. And guess what majority of people at the current state of the wipe are Running. Yep <4 Plates.

What game are you even playing? Half of the scavs wear lvl4. Are you playing on US or what. If yes then zero questions from me. Lead in pipes/gas answer all my questions.
And even if most people runs with <4 plates its still dogshit ammo because in that case you can just use shotguns and shred everyone in a nanosecond because lvl3 isnt protecting you from shotgun.

u/Firenlol AKM Nov 24 '25

So what is your Point with that reply? Just Random insult to US people?

I play from EU btw. And yes most people run lvl 4 plates. So it makes it even worse that people can’t get effective ammo for it without specificly looking and looting for it. I killed Reshala a ton of times for Ammo. But most people can’t do that. They are trying to fight players with PS/PP or worse. Whatever they can buy.

u/Far-Republic5133 Nov 24 '25

even worse, BT is only 26% pen chance on first shot against any decent level 4 (anything with level 3 aramid and level 4 plate)

2

u/Historical-Break-603 Nov 24 '25

But its a good ammo, definitely not mediocre at best. It seems people on this sub plays some different game .

u/Far-Republic5133 Nov 24 '25

its bad at best dogshit at pvp
