How to Get Ammo in GTA 5

Getting ammunition in GTA 5 requires different approaches depending on whether you're playing the single-player campaign or the online multiplayer version. The story mode offers limited options primarily centered around purchasing from weapon stores, while the online version provides multiple convenient alternatives, including remote purchasing and delivery services.

GTA Story Mode

For players completing the main story first, the primary source of ammo is Ammu-Nation stores. Scattered around Los Santos, Ammu-Nation stores stock all of the weapons you've unlocked so far and the option to replenish their ammo type.

Walk into any Ammu-Nation store and speak with the clerk to access the purchasing menu. These stores appear as gun icons on your map. You can also pick up dropped weapons from defeated enemies during missions or find weapon spawns in various locations around the map, though these provide limited ammunition.

GTA Online

Online players have multiple convenient purchasing methods beyond traditional store visits. Using the Interaction Menu is one of the oldest and easiest ways to purchase ammo for all weapons in GTA Online. It is also the quickest way, as players can refill their weapons from anywhere on the map. Remote purchasing options:

• Interaction Menu: Open the Interaction Menu, select Health and Ammo. After that, choose your ammo type and weapon

• CEO Abilities: Choose Drop Ammo from CEO Abilities for $1000

• Gun Van: A mobile store that changes location every day but remains hidden on the map

• Franklin's Supply Stash: Call Franklin and select Supply Stash for $5000

These online methods offer greater flexibility, allowing you to restock ammunition without traveling to specific locations.
