First can I say how happy I am to find a forum dedicated to one of my all time favourite games. And now my question...

Over the many previous times I have played this game I find the bug quest particularly difficult through running out of ammo :scary:

I'm typically touting automatic rifles and my guys will be level 4 or 5 however I simply find that carrying enough ammo to last the mission gets tricky. It there a better way to kill the buys? I don't want to use the potion to slip past them as it strikes me as cheating!

Any thoughts most welcome as the bugs have just shown up in my current game.

I bring 4 fighters and 2 mules who rarely shoot. I drop any gear that isn't going to help me down there, and carry as many empty jars as I can find by the time I go. I also try to use guns with ammo that stacks well, I pack each merc with 2 SMG's and do the ambidex thing, less accuracy, but it also allows me to carry an extra 6 clips of ammo, and the ammo stacks better.

I'm usually carrying AKM's and have lots of 7.62 blue-type ammo. At least 6 spare lips per merc (4 on average) and I rarely run out, though it can get a bit hairy at times. I like the AKM because the short burst fire conserves alot of ammo.

I also do the bug missions very, vert slowly and don't bother to empty every level of bugs since, once you kill the queen, you can just exit. A good defensive position is key for these levels.

Can't run out of ammo when going there with 5 or 6 mercs,(FA-MAS,C7,AKM,2 silenced MP7K for the ambidextrous,etc),each carrying 4 clips of 30 bullets.HP,but I think AP ammo performs better on the queen.
Aimed first shot followed by burst ensures optimum use. Very Happy

Try unslinkifying using almost no ammo,elixir and punches...
