Universal ammo



Universal ammo is an ammunition type found in Deus Ex: Invisible War, and is the only type of ammunition findable in the game.

Background
Universal ammo is an invention of Mako Ballistics created at some point after 2052 which allows almost all weapons worldwide to use the same type of ammunition. Each magazine is loaded with a series of nanotechnological devices that transform raw materials into whatever form of projectile is needed for the gun that the magazine is slotted into. As a result, by 2070 most forms of case and caseless ammunition have disappeared due to the benefits that universal ammo present.

Behind the scenes

 * The developers created this concept to avoid the situation where a player runs out of ammo for his or her favorite weapon and is forced to use another one. Ironically this feature is one of the most widely criticized aspects of Deus Ex: Invisible War, as running out of ammo for one gun renders all others useless, leaving the player with no choice but to rely on melee weapons. Not only that, but players often emphasize how unrealistic it is for weapons such as rocket launchers and flamethrowers to utilize the same type of magazine.
