Description

Increases a firearm's damage by a percentage, depending on the Ammunition Mod's level.

Tactics

Very useful for combat-focused classes like the Fighter, though certain types of weapons have better results with other types of gear. Support classes would be better off with gear that either enhances their specialties or shores up their weaknesses.

It is best used in conjunction with low-medium damage weapons like assault rifles or submachine guns, since high damage weapons like long rifles or shotguns are very likely to one-hit-kill their targets even without the boost, though it can be used to ensure one-hit-kills against even the strongest zombies.
