Cronos: The New Dawn: Ammo Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

Ammo is the most valuable resource in Cronos: The New Dawn. In this survival horror experience from Bloober Team, firepower is a scarce luxury. Whether you are wielding the Sword (Handgun) or the heavy-hitting Hammer (Shotgun), you will often find yourself out of ammo.


While you can craft ammunition using resources found in the world, it is rarely enough to sustain you through the later chapters. Therefore, knowing exactly where to scavenge for pickups is essential for surviving.


There are several distinct ammunition types scattered across the game world. Knowing which Weapon accepts which caliber is important for inventory management:


  • Handgun Ammo: Used by the Sword (Starter Weapon) and the Dagger.
  • Shotgun Shells: Used by the Hammer and the Mace.
  • Carbine/Javelin Rounds: Used by the Javelin and Lance for rapid-fire engagements.
  • Special Ammo: Includes Torch Fuel for your flamethrower tool and heavy Bolts for the Arbalest.


Before hunting for more bullets, make sure you aren't wasting the ones you have.


  • Use Charged Shots: Most weapons, like the Sword, feature a "Charged Shot" mode. Always use this when possible—it deals significantly more damage and can penetrate multiple enemies, maximizing your damage per bullet.
  • The Torch Strategy: Use your Torch to set enemies on fire, then finish them off with melee attacks to save precious rounds.
  • Check Breakables: Ammo is frequently hidden inside smashable crates and wooden boxes. Never leave a room without breaking everything in sight.


From hidden safe room stashes to easy-to-miss corners in the Steelworks and Hospital, we have tracked every single clip and shell in the game.
