Regular, ap, or high power ammo for my brand new Desert Eagle?

[ElCabong]

High power sounds better, I think I'll go with that

AP > HP > Regs .. but regs do the job just fine, and that's the stuff you'll get from loot, so you'll always carry some. Might as well use it.

I would use regular ammunition. You will find plenty of it and the difference in damage between HP and regular ammo is too small to make a big difference in my opinion. AP ammo can be used in horde night against armored zombies like soldiers, bikers or demolishers.

I make AP for horde nights and use up all the looted regular rounds for PoI clearing, though it's really my backup weapon to the SMG.

Hugh had a hundred rounds of AP as a reward.

And once you get all the magnum books, you'll question if you need ap rounds anymore.

[OneManStanding]

Use it if you've got it, but if you're making it I recommend just sticking with the standard. The damage buff really isn't worth it and all you'll end up with a muddled ammo chest. You might try using up the regular to get rid of it, but the game will always give you more. And when you use the AP/HP you won't really notice the difference, in my opinion. I think the dev's could do more to differentiate the rounds.

 

Standard Ammo - enough said.

Magnum Rounds - increased damage, more recoil.

Explosive Rounds - massive damage, slower fire rate.

Incendiary Rounds - trades damage to chain-ignite zombies.

Electrical Rounds - trades damage to chain-shock zombies.

Flechette Rounds - trades damage to penetrates armour.

Rubber Bullets - any shot you miss rebounds and bounces all over the place until it hits something (including you).

Boomerang Rounds - yeah ... never fire these.
