Ammunition, also known as Ammo in short, is a critical game element used in surviv.io that is required for firing guns. They are seen as small squares when dropped on the ground. Each gun in the game requires a specifically-colored ammo type to fire.

Casings[]
When weapons are fired (or being reloaded), bullet casings will fly out of the side of the gun. Something that is dispensed as a result of guns ejecting the leftover casing out of the ejection port. Each ammunition has a type of casing going along with it, and are as follows:
9mm, .50 AE, & .45 ACP
12 Gauge & Flare
7.62mm & .308 Subsonic
5.56mm
Potato Ammo
Trivia[]
- 9mm Ammo is the most common, while the Flare is the rarest. However in the Desert Map, the .45 ACP is the replacement for 9mm and thus 9mm is the rarest, barely having a chance of spawning, while Flares were made common.
- Rarity of ammunition generally goes in this order, from most to least common: 9mm, .45 ACP, 7.62mm, 5.56mm, 12 gauge, .50 AE, .308 Subsonic, 40mm, Rainbow Ammo, Flare. Potato Ammo and Heart Ammo are unspawnable with no UI image, and 9mm Cursed and Bugle Ammo are just placeholders with only a shell sprite and no UI image or backpack capacity.
- Ammo Crates spawn ammo when broken. Small Ammo Crates only spawn the first four common types of ammo, however while certain types of ammo only spawn in limited amounts with their gun of choice, Large Ammo Crates can spawn any type of ammo. However they only spawn ammo that usually spawns on that map
- Some casings are for multiple ammunition types such as 9mm, .50 AE and .45 ACP sharing the same casing.
