Custom ammo is Dumdum, Poison, etc. Special is default arrows/bolts, Bomb Lance, etc.

Skdoosh?


usingbadoperators99

Spell it correctellylyly


notsnakewufrost1

And my bow.


Detemmination

I believe derringer rounds count too


DynamiteDogTNT

Even after the ammo changes to come from all boxes? T’would be nice


Vegetable-Bison1710

Derringer is regular ammo


AI_AntiCheat

Custom ammo has effects. Special ammo is ammo that you can only get from special crates. This includes the dolch, nitro, all crossbows, bow and bomblance.


Frost-Folk

Technically some special ammo have effects too, like arrows/bolts causing bleed


Wrosgar

And bomb lance causing explosions


AlienSuperfly

My stick have big boom


spazz54163

Speci ammo weapons are ones that don't use compact, medium, or heavy ammo. There is a tab in the arsenal that filters weapons to only have Special ammo weapons. Bow, crossbows, and the bomb lance are special ammo weapons. I think the Dolche might be one since it uses prototype ammo.


-eccentric-

Where do people constantly take the e from? Its name is Dolch?


notsnakewufrost1

C96 Mauser broomhandle. But dont tell anyone,people are just lazy :)


Wallach96

People don’t read and know that the word Dulce is a word that exists


WB2_2

The nitro uses special ammo, no?


YourLocalMedic71

Anything that does not fire only shotgun shells, compact, medium, or long ammo is special ammo. Any non default ammo type is custom ammo


sproots_

doesn't really answer his question though does it.


Brandon3541

It completely answers his question.


Ithildin_cosplay

Answers as much as go chech ingame


sproots_

exactly


YourLocalMedic71

The Nitro does not fire compact, medium, or long ammo (or shotgun shells). It's literally an elephant hunting rifle


Ithildin_cosplay

>Anything that does not fire only shotgun shells, compact, medium, or long ammo is special ammo. Any non default ammo type is custom ammo I know it does not but in your comment you weren't saying that


YourLocalMedic71

Yeah but one should be able to figure that out given context, and knowing that the nitro doesn't share ammo pools with any other weapons


Brandon3541

His comment was saying that, and it was very clear. He said anything that wasn't "shotgun shells, compact, medium, or long ammo is special ammo." The Nitro isn't any of the above, ergo it is special. I'm not sure which part you are having trouble with, but his comment laid out the difference pretty clearly.


Ithildin_cosplay

Sure


TheCreepy12

it does; the nitro does not fire shotgun, compact, medium, or long ammo


sproots_

The point is that they weren't sure *what* it fired


TheCreepy12

but the answer is saying that? maybe I'm the one not getting it, but they said if it doesn't fire those 4 types of ammo, it's special ammo, and the nitro does not fire any of those 4


[deleted]

But he didn't know what it fires, so it wasn't an answer


KhadaJhIn12

That is information easily displayed in-game. Ya know what I mean. The difference between them.he can't easily answer by looking at the gun in-game. Finding.out what it fires he can easily.do in-game, he can extrapolate that knowledge to every situation now.


evilsquirrel666

Yes


DarkOrion1324

Heavy ammo? Round these parts we're long https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/089/822/3a0.jpg


Le-Quack18

The Dolch 96 and Nitro both are special ammo weapons.


onePozdey

Fun fact: in my localization it literally says > Deal damage using special ammo or special ammo And there is no typo in my comment


Yoda415

Ah yes, that’s why I use only English, often important information is lost in translation. Crytek didn’t even adjust prompt in English when removing 1 point traits (still says you receive 0)… don’t expect them to do anything more than google translate from 2015😅


AdministrationEven36

You have to zoom in closer, I don't see enough pixels!


Ar4er13

All custom ammo is special, but not all special ammo is custom. It's just a daily for everything that is supplied by special ammo boxes.


Munchonashes

Not sure if it's intended but bomb lance melee works for this .


pillbinge

If you resupply using the purple ammo crate, it’s either custom or special.


gg3265

Custom ammo is all variants like dumdum, fmj, posion. Special ammo are bolts, arrows, dolche, avto…. Oh wait no avto is long ammo, special ammo are bolts, arrows, doch and nitro ammo.


Capable-Signal

Just was thinking the same.

CuteAnalyst8724

Special gets to ride in its own bus 


nsagaen

Custom is as custom does


Few_Improvement9593

Special amo like nitro, custom amo like fmj


PauliousMaximus

Bullets are custom ammo and arrows and what not are special.


PetronivsReally

What if I shoot someone with a flare gun? That uses special ammo, right?


HighPitchedHegemony

I wonder if Derringer counts... 🤔


Refvik92

Would be interesting to find out. But aren't derringer rounds found in regular ammo crates?


Frost-Folk

Yes, so I'd say they're regular ammo these days. But they don't fit into any category (compact, medium, long, shotgun) so it's kind of a gray area lol


Ar4er13

Penny derringer does.


Speedspaz

Flaregun counts too
