Ammunition (DXMD)

This page lists all ammunition in Deus Ex: Human Mankind Divided.

Overview
Ammunition for lethal firearms fall under three categories: regular, armor piercing, and EMP.

Regular ammo is the common baseline type, but generally lacks effectiveness against armor and hard targets.

Armor piercing (AP) ammo is effective against all target types, including armored and other hard targets. Armored targets are shown with an armored vest icon when viewed under Smart Vision. Armored human targets include armored police, two variants of Shadow Operatives (the variants that carry Combat Rifles and Shotguns), and EXO-suits. Armored mechanical targets include sentry bots and turrets. Hard targets that are not specifically indicated as "armored" include drones and breakable doors. When purchasing from merchants, AP ammo is the most expensive of the three types of ammo.

EMP ammo has several effects: For gameplay information specific to individual weapons, see the articles for the respective weapons.
 * Against mechanical targets (cameras, sentry bots, drones, turrets, and EXO-suits), EMP ammo triggers a stun effect, but do not do any actual damage to the target. The length of the stun depends on the particular type of EMP ammo. During the stun, the mechanical target is disabled. Stunned EXO-suits are vulnerable to a takedown.
 * EMP ammo can be used to temporarily disable laser grids.
 * EMP ammo can be used to cause a reboot in keypads and hackable computer systems.
 * Against human targets, EMP rounds do a small amount of non-lethal damage and are able to stun the target after enough hits. Against augmented human targets, EMP rounds also disable the usage of their augmentations for a certain amount of time.
