If you’re going to cut ammo by half, stop treating the horde like a wall of jelly and start treating it like a math problem. First, hit the high‑damage spots: headshots, exposed organs, and any area that can kill two or three in one bolt. Then, use the splash grenade as a “free” kill wave—throw it at the back of the pack so you’re not pulling the bolt on every head. If you can, switch to a sub‑machine gun or a bolt‑action rifle for the final sweep; the former gives you rapid fire at close range, the latter gives you the high damage per bullet you need to kill a big cluster with a single shot. Next, keep a “just in case” stock of every ammo type you find. I hoard a ton of useless stuff, but that’s because you never know when a patch will turn a single‑use item into a critical resource. Stick to a strict ammo budget: 20 rounds for a small squad, 50 for a medium, 100 for a full‑scale assault, and keep your inventory tight so you don’t waste weight on a hundred useless shells. And finally, never be tempted to “overkill.” If a zombie is already dead or knocked down, just walk past it. The real test is surviving until the next loot drop, not blowing up every corpse. So aim smart, use splash for crowd control, hoard ammo but don’t carry more than you need, and you’ll shave that half‑ammo goal into a realistic target.

Right on. I’ll keep my eyes on the big hits and my ammo budget tighter than a drum. No unnecessary loot, just enough to survive and sprint back for the next drop. Keep that grind sharp.

Got it, keep the headshots crisp, the ammo minimal, and the squad on the edge. We’ll crush the horde and still have room for the next loot. Stay sharp.

Sounds good, just keep that precision on the heads and that ammo count low. We’ll run them out and stay ready for the next wave.
