changedSteam post image☠️ Acid Ammo Corrosive and cruel. Acid Ammo is all about melting through enemies and armor alike. It deals damage over time and weakens enemy defenses, making it perfect for boss fights or tough mini-bosses. Use it when you want to break down tanks or soften up enemies before switching to something nastier. Steam post image💣 Explosive Ammo Big
changedboom energy. This one does exactly what it says causes explosive splash damage with every shot. Great for crowd control or clearing out rooms fast. Use it when you're surrounded or just want that satisfying ka-boom every time you pull the trigger.
changedSteam post image❄️ Freezing Ammo Time to chill. Freezing Ammo slows down enemy movement. Perfect for hit-and-run tactics or controlling the battlefield. Use it to slow the pace or set up a deadly combo with your other weapons. Steam post image💢 Impact Ammo Heavy, blunt force. Impact Ammo sends enemies flying, knocks them down, and breaks through shields. It’s the brawler of the ammo lineup. Use it when you want to dominate space and keep the pressure on. Steam post image🎯 Piercing Ammo Straight through. No mercy. Piercing Ammo ignores armor and obstacles, traveling through multiple enemies in a line. Use it when you’re facing tight corridors, shielded foes, or enemy stacks. Steam post image🌌 Plasma Ammo Unstable energy from another realm. Plasma Ammo arcs with chaotic power, dealing fire elemental damage. Use it when you want to gamble big and light the screen up with cosmic chaos. Steam post image⚡ Shock Ammo Zap your way to victory. Shock Ammo overloads the D0K chip and stuns your enemy. Great for disabling tech-heavy foes or groups of Zombots. Use it when you're facing drones, zombots, or enemies that need a wake-up call. Steam post image💫 Stun Ammo Control the fight. Stun Ammo temporarily disables enemies, interrupting attacks and giving you space. Use it when you need time, space, or just want to stop that zombot in its tracks. ⚙️ How It All Works You’ll be able to acquire special ammo randomly mid-combat with a full clip ready to use with any weapon. But this could change; we're looking into the best way to get your special ammo. Think strategically: freezing that entire horde of zombots, then finishing them off? Totally valid. We want your gunplay to be more than just shoot-and-repeat — we want decisions, creativity, and chaos. 🚧 What’s Next We’re currently playtesting balance, animations, and audio for each ammo type (yes, every type has its visual effect). And yes, they can all be used with every weapon, which means different firing rates for your special ammo. Imagine your shotgun spread with explosive rounds. Stay cosmic, – Kosmik Raven 🪐

Hey everyone! Kosmik Raven here with a behind-the-scenes look at one of the flashiest, most destructive, and most strategic systems in our upcoming game: Special Ammo Types. In a world overrun by chaos, your weapons need more than just bullets they need personality. That's where our custom special ammo system comes in. Each type changes how you engage with the world and your enemies.

Let's break it down:
