Navigating the dangerous streets of Night City in Cyberpunk 2077 requires players to maintain a steady supply of ammunition for their firearms. Running out of bullets during intense gunfights with rival gangs or corporate security forces can quickly result in a mission failure. Knowing exactly where to find weapon merchants and how to restock efficiently ensures that your mercenary operations continue without unexpected interruptions.
Locating Weapon Dealers Across Night City
Weapon vendors are scattered throughout every major district of Night City, easily identified on your mini-map by a gun icon. The most convenient early-game option is Wilson at the 2nd Amendment store located right inside V's apartment building in Megabuilding H10. Visiting any official arms dealer guarantees access to standard ammunition reserves for all major weapon categories.
When speaking with a weapon merchant, navigate to the bottom of their shop inventory to locate the available ammunition types. You can purchase bulk rounds for handguns, assault rifles, shotguns, and sniper rifles. If a vendor runs out of stock, simply waiting 24 to 48 in-game hours will cause their inventory to fully replenish.
Top Vendors for Ammunition and Gear
While every weapon shop carries standard ammunition, certain vendors stand out due to their specialized stock and unique locations. The arms dealer in the Downtown area of City Center is excellent for high-level players looking to restock before heavy encounters. Additionally, the weapon merchants located in the Badlands offer reliable supplies for players exploring the open desert regions away from the city core.
For those navigating the dangerous streets of Pacifica or Dogtown, local merchants provide easy access to essential supplies alongside specialized weaponry. Keeping track of the nearest gun shop before starting major contract jobs saves valuable time during combat missions. Checking merchant inventories regularly ensures that you never enter combat with empty magazines.
Alternative Ways to Keep Your Weapons Loaded
In addition to purchasing directly from vendors, players can replenish their ammunition through field scavenging. Defeated enemies frequently drop ammo containers, and walking over downed foes automatically picks up compatible rounds. Searching small rectangular crates in hostile zones also yields significant amounts of free ammunition.
Crafting offers another practical solution for staying prepared during long missions. By opening the crafting menu, players can convert basic common components into ammunition stacks anywhere in the world. Combining vendor purchases, thorough looting, and basic crafting guarantees a constant flow of firepower throughout your journey in Night City.
