How to Get More Ammo in Battlefield 6

Running out of ammo happens fast in Battlefield 6. Here’s how to restock efficiently using support gadgets, fallen kits, and loadout strategies.

Why ammo management matters in Battlefield 6

Battlefield 6 keeps its ammo economy intentionally tight. Most assault rifles start with around three magazines, forcing players to rely on teammates and gadgets to stay supplied. The limited reserves are designed to push teamwork, class coordination, and strategic placement across the map.

Running out of rounds mid-fight is easy if you don’t plan ahead — especially in large-scale battles where every bullet counts. Thankfully, the game provides multiple ways to restock if you know where to look.

Using the support class to resupply

The most reliable way to get more ammo in Battlefield 6 is through the Support class. This class carries deployable Ammo Bags and Ammo Crates that refill your weapons, gadgets, and explosives.

These tools can be equipped from your loadout before spawning. Once deployed, both you and your teammates can refill ammo by standing near them.

The ammo crate provides a stronger and faster resupply rate, while the bag is easier to throw in combat situations.

How to deploy and use ammo crates effectively

Follow these steps to deploy and make the most of ammo supply gear:

Step 1

Equip the Ammo Bag or Ammo Crate in the support class gadget slot through your loadout screen.

Step 2

During gameplay, press the gadget button — X on PC or Up on the D-pad on consoles — to deploy.

Step 3

Place the gadget in a safe but accessible area where teammates are likely to pass by.

Step 4

Stand near the gadget to automatically begin refilling ammo. You’ll see your ammo count slowly increase over time.

Step 5

Redeploy as needed after cooldowns or when the crate has been depleted. Keep your squad supplied, especially during long firefights.

Picking up ammo from fallen soldiers

If no support player is around, you can loot dropped weapons or gadgets from defeated enemies or teammates. Simply walk over a fallen soldier’s kit to automatically collect compatible ammo.

This method is situational and doesn’t always replenish gadget ammo (like grenades or rockets), but it’s invaluable in emergencies.

Smart loadout choices for longer fights

Your weapon attachments and magazine options can affect how much ammo you carry.

Some weapons allow switching between magazine types — for example, switching from high-power rounds to standard mags can effectively give you another magazine’s worth of bullets. Experiment with attachments to see which setups balance ammo capacity and firepower best.

Also, carrying a secondary weapon with good versatility can help conserve primary ammo for crucial encounters.

Working with your squad to stay supplied

Battlefield 6’s design rewards players who stick together. If your squad has a support class, stay close to them — their ammo gadgets have a limited radius.

When running low, use the “Request Ammo” command to alert nearby support players. This not only helps you stay armed but also earns them support points.

Common limitations and known issues

• Resupply isn’t instant — ammo replenishes gradually.
• Gadget ammo may take longer or require specific supply types.
• Some players report limited early access to ammo gadgets until progression unlocks them.
• Deploying multiple ammo crates too quickly can trigger cooldown restrictions.
• In some matches, lootable kits may only partially refill weapons.

Managing ammo is about rhythm — knowing when to fall back, resupply, and re-engage rather than spraying recklessly.

How to make the most of limited ammo

To maintain a steady ammo flow:

• Choose Support class if your squad lacks one.
• Deploy ammo gadgets in chokepoints or defensive zones.
• Conserve explosives and heavy rounds for vehicles or clusters.
• Swap to fallen enemy kits if caught out of ammo.
• Coordinate with your squad to rotate between support and assault roles.

With awareness and teamwork, you’ll rarely find yourself defenseless.
