Starfield is here, and gamers are jumping in to explore the Settled Systems and all its planets. With the game taking place in the vastness of space, there are lots of places to get into combat, so you can run out of ammo easily. Luckily, in one of the best ships you won't have this problem, but when using your own guns, you can run out quite quickly.

So, check out our coverage about cheap ammo in Starfield, along with some other ways to ensure you are always topped up.

How to buy cheap ammo

To get cheap ammo in Starfield, you'll want to head to the UC Distribution Center in New Atlantis city and purchase it.

This building can be found in the Commercial District of the city. We recommend spawning in this district and immediately following the path forward on your right side. Don't go up the ramp when you get to it, and keep going forward and the building is right there.

Just head inside and talk to the vendor to start purchasing ammo. Credits are bountiful in Starfeld, and you can easily get thousands for doing quick activity quests, exploring, or smuggling contraband.

While the ammo will seem expensive, relative to the amount of money you earn and the rate at which you earn it - it's not much at all. Plus, once you have a lot of ammo, as long as you keep looting enemies you kill, you should get back most of what you expend in combat.

Best way to get more ammo in Starfield

On top of the method above, one of the best ways to get ammo in Starfield is by getting the second rank of the Scavenging skill. This can be found in the first tier of the Social skill tree, and it gives you a chance of netting extra ammo when searching containers.
