In Abiotic Factor, players will need to survive by setting up a base, exploring nearby facilities to scavenge for materials and items that can be used to craft new upgrades and facilities, and defending themselves from any threats that may be encountered along the way. For this reason, ensuring you have some ammunition and a weapon in Abiotic Factor is highly important, as this will give you much more protection as you explore new areas and enable you to defend yourself when needed.

However, there are quite a few different weapons and ammunition types in the game, and not all of them are acquired the same way. As some can be crafted while others must be scavenged, ensuring you know the assortment of different weapons and ammo in Abiotic Factor will enable you to prioritize which ones you try to obtain, and at which point of your playthrough.

All Weapons & Ammo in Abiotic Factor

crossbow in abiotic factor

Just as many other beloved survival games, there are many different weapons that can be acquired in Abiotic Factor, such as blunt weapons, sharp weapons, heavy weapons, ranged weapons, throwables, and shields. While some of these can be crafted through scavenging and collecting materials to fulfill various crafting recipes, other weapons are more of a rarity, and can only be acquired through looting from certain locations.

Because of this, it can be quite handy to try to keep as much of an assortment of weapons as possible at your base in Abiotic Factor,. This is because some weapons, such as the Security Pistol, will even break permanently once they have been worn down, giving you no functional way to repair them. If you need to try and stock up on various weapons and ammo, then you may find success in doing so by consistently defeating members of the Order Infantry as they tend to be a common source for these drops. Alternatively, the Manufacturing Sector also appears to be a strong place to scavenge for weapons and ammunition, so you may wish to invest in exploring these areas.
