The magazine sizes will be traditional: light, medium, and heavy. These will come with the option of drum and extended magazine attachments that can be equipped. As for the ammo options, the subsonic will be much like suppressed bullets helping you stay off the radar. Allowing you to sneak behind enemy lines. Unlike its counterpart subsonic, the explosive ammo will make a statement blowing up people from range.
The armor-piercing magazine will come in handy while taking on enemies with heavy vehicles. While the incendiary deals damage over time, similar to poisonous bullets or darts doing their job.
In addition to these, there will also be other options, such as buckshot, slug, and flechette.
What else can players expect ahead of the beta?
As if the incendiary wasnât enough, there are also rumors of the game featuring new damage types: Toxic and Radiation.
