Mafia III: How to Pick Up Guns and Ammo

How to Pick Up Guns and Ammo in Mafia III

There are several different guns in Mafia III that you, being the trained um… professional… that you are, can put to some very good use. Unfortunately, you can’t carry an unlimited amount of weapons, and are even restricted to just two when you first begin the game, one of which must be a sidearm. This means if you want something different, you’re going to have to pick it up, subsequently dropping what you already have equipped. Here’s how to pick up guns and ammo in the game.

Thankfully, picking up weapons isn’t all that complicated. In order to do so, all you need to do is simply walk up to the weapon you want and hold Square on PS4 or X on Xbox One. When you’re close by to a weapon, you will see what the weapon is and how much ammunition you’ll have for it. This should aid your decision on whether or not you should even spend time picking it up.

If you want to return to a weapon you dropped, obviously you only need to simply go back to where you dropped it and pick it up again with X or Square. Standard procedure, right?

As far as picking up ammo goes, all you have to do is walk over to a gun that matches one of the ones in your inventory. That will automatically pick up any spare ammo that may be on the ground. Sometimes walking over the enemy’s corpse will give ammo, as well. You can also get more ammo when you call upon the weapons specialist’s help, too!

That’s all there is to picking up guns and ammo in Mafia III. If you need more help with the game, let us know in the comments down below. You can also check out our wiki, which has a ton of guides on it.
