If you’ve ever played a Bethesda game like Starfield, then you know ammo is an immensely important resource that shouldn’t be left unchecked. Having a healthy stockpile of ammo can make the difference in any fight, especially if that ammo is for some of your more powerful weapons. Where you get more, though, can be a bit obscure. Here’s where to buy ammo in Starfield.
Where to Purchase More Ammo in Starfield
There are a lot of places where you can buy ammo in Starfield, but the most convenient place is Centaurian Arsenal in New Atlantis. The store can be found by fast-traveling to the Residential District. You’ll be able to see Centaurian within viewing distance, across from the Apollo Tower and to the left of Mercury Tower. Head inside and speak to the clerk, who will be selling just about every type of ammo you can think of.
If going to New Atlantis isn’t possible due to some sort of massive bounty or something along those lines, then there is an alternative that works just as well. If you fast-travel to Akila City in the Cheyenne system and make your way through the front gate, you’ll find Rowland Arms as the second store on your left. Speak with Belle Rowland inside, and she’ll have plenty on offer similar to Centaurian.
