Ammo Conservation is a Foundry project in XCOM: Enemy Unknown.
In-Game Description[]
| “ | Muton armor contains servomotors that function as automatic weapon loaders, allowing their weapons to carry more ammunition without requiring the soldier to pause for a full reload. We could apply some of the same techniques to our own weapons. | ” |
Project Requirements[]
Prerequisites: Muton Autopsy (Research)
Time to Complete: 14 days
Engineers: 15
Project Cost:
- §150
- 6 Muton Corpses
- 90 Alloys
- 20 Weapon Fragments
Research Credits and Bonuses:
| Name | Type | Reward | Adjusted Requirement |
| All Technology | Research Credit | -50% Time | 7 days |
| Beam Weapons | Research Credit | -50% Time | 7 days |
| Future Combat | Continent Bonus (Asia) | -50% Credits | §75 |
Notes[]
- Approximately doubles ammunition capacity for all primary weapons (In the case of MEC Troopers, it increases their ammunition capacity by only 50%).
- Introduces issues with Heavy and Sniper weapons, when these weapons have only one ammo left, Overwatch will become unavailable due to "Not enough ammo".
- Stacks with the Expanded Storage ability for MEC Troopers. Therefore, Expanded Storage and Ammo Conservation effectively doubles their ammunition capacity.
