How do you use these in your weapon. Ive tried to load my pistol and shotgun with these. Also why is it so hard to get magnum ammo?
Thanks
 
A) because acid and explosive rounds are for the grenade launcher, along with fire, electric and freezing rounds. and B) magnums are powerful. to increase the chance of magnum drops, don't take as many other weapons
 
Thats why i never use a magnum, way too difficult to find ammo so it takes up space which is more worthwhile.I need 2 weapons while playing and can't sacrifice the search for ammo.
 
hmm Magnum ammo is indeed hard to find but
in chapters 5-2 and 5-3 and 6-2 u can find it
just good looking for it but its there.....
 
Also when you are using the grenade launcher with a type of ammo and you are out, you'll have to reload from your inventory if you want another type of ammo.

Magnum ammo is indeed rare. If it is your first playthrough and you need ammo for the magnun there's a small trick:

-Always have it in your invetory. The game won't generate ammo for it otherwise.

-Remove any magnum ammo you find to your stockpile for any tough situations(Boss fights e.t.c).

-Use one clip of the magnum per chapter and don't reload it. When you finish a chapter upgrade its capacity. The whole clip will be magically reloaded. This works best with the S&W M29(the first magnum you get) whose capacity can be upgraded up to six times.
 
To use acid, explosive, flame, electric, and flash rounds you have to combine the ammo to the Grenade Launcher.

As for Magnum rounds, they aren't that rare in the game. There are 2 ways you can get them real easily. #1 is to buy them in buy section, they don't show up, but you can get the ammo just by purchasing a magnum and then selling the gun and you will have magnum ammo. #2 is to abuse the Chapter 3-1 in the game for it as seen in this youtube video:
