Every Ammo Type & What Weapons Use Them in Starfield

There are plenty of guns in Starfield for players to enjoy, but that also means there are just as many ammo types to manage and remember. The game offers plenty of quick slots to arrange your weapons as you want them, and doing so by ammo type is a great choice. For a helping hand, we’ve gathered this list of ammo types and their related weaponry that you can always cross-reference.
