1. You start with enough ammo in your initial rifle to get you through 2-3 levels without picking anything up.
2. There isn't any ammo for that rifle in the first level to be picked up.
3. You are probably "clip firing" into enemies an that's why you are running out.
4. Because of #3 you are going to get clowned on later levels.
5. The game behaves differently depending if you have the gun that's on the ground already. If you enabled auto-pickup you would run past a gun and switch out to a possibly lesser one.
6. Sometimes you don't want to pick up ammo (use up all three shots in that rocket launcher before you pickup the new one...you want to have a full load when you leave the vicinity
7. You can't get killed running around looking for ammo. Hint: you don't just run around or again, you'll get clowned.
8. You can finish many of the levels with your bare hands easily if you know what you're doing. Hint: you have this nifty nano-suit in your inventory that can turn invisible and crush people's throats.
9. No. You can't have your money back.
I'm actually being serious here, but I run out of ammo for that gun during my first encounter with the bad guys near the beach and they come up with a humvee and start shooting at me. I don't think I"m a terrible shot (I used to play a lot of cs) but then again maybe I just haven't gotten the hang of this game's shooting style.
Also, where in the menu is this "auto-pickup" option? Does that mean I pick up ammo automatically, or just new guns?
I've tried just pummeling people with my suit and using super strength and punching them, but they're always in groups and the ones I'm not currently punching in the face keep on shooting at me.
Maybe I'm a complete retard with this game, but I just can't even beat the first level. Any tips would be appreciated in finding more ammo.
Aight so being serious as well here are some tips:
1. That gun you start with has better hitting power than the rifles you pick up from the enemy. Mind you there is rarely ammo for it. Conserve it as long as you can then discard the rifle.
2. The rifles have a selector switch for semi or full-automatic. Generally you'll want to pop of the first few shots semi then switch to auto if the nearby enemies turn on you.
3. Drop only 1-2 enemies at a time then relocate. By relocate I mean stealth up, move 20-30 yards into a bush then unstealth. Enemies will rapidly surround your old location. If you don't do this you'll likely end up in a raw gunbattle which you will lose.
4. When attacking those first 1-2 guys do it from a concealed position (find a bush) and unstealth..otherwise your energy will drop to 0 during the first shot. You need energy at 100% after the first shots so you can escape/relocate.
5. Don't forget your pistols. They hit hard and are perfect for those 5 yard headshots.
Just for some examples:
Single guy: Sneak up in stealth, grab him, switch to strength mode, throw him at ground, restealth. Unless another enemy is looking directly at you this will leave you undiscovered.
Two guys: same as above, but throw 1st guy into 2nd guy, then either melee while in strength or use silenced pistols to kill them both. This will generate enough noise to get you noticed by others. Be prepared to escape/relocate.
for a group of 3 guys that are unaware of you: Sneak up, grab the first guy, throw him into the 2nd, shoot the 3rd, turn around and shoot the guy you threw that is now starting to stand up. Relocate.
For larger groups:
single shot, or tight burst headshots into the first two guys, then stealth and relocate. When they surround your original position rinse and repeat. Once the squad is all down, relocate a little bit further and wait patiently. Another squad will be coming to investigate what happened. Try to binocular tag these guys at a distance when they come.
For multiple squads that you just don't want to fool with:
Make a mess of one squad and be deliberatly noisy. Relocate bush to bush with stealth inbetween until you get about 100yrds away. Hang out for a bit and let all the squads get to your original location and go into that slowly moving search mode. Then walk or speed-run away and never see any of them again.
yet some more random stuff:
The shotguns hit HARD and unless you are at a dumb range they'll usually 1 shot.
