    I finally made 150 purchases of 7.62mm special ammo through the mission credit store and have this data to share! (I unlocked all the weapon attachments a year and a half ago and since books are virtually nonexistent in the mission credit store... I have nothing else to do with mission credits )





    .... and yes, I still have a ton of special ammo as a result of this undertaking, with no plans to stop accumulating!!!


    tl;dr - When looking to buy premium food for your GAK with mission credits, be on the lookout for Hollow Point under 68 credits, Tracer under 100 credits, Piercing under 121 credits, and Incendiary under 150 credits, as those seem to be below-median-value price.

    Activity Log records available by request to those wishing to repeat the experiment!

    Hopefully you found this helpful!

    Good luck!

    - Andyman

    What was the timeframe covered by these results? I've been finding special ammo pretty scarce in the mission shop (9 purchases in 77 days) and I don't think i've skipped any gak ammo purchases (Has been my only weapon at new reward times)

    Also, doesn't hollowpoint ammo actually result in a net decrease in damage over time?

    R+ for the pretty graph though!

    11:19:01 - 28/11/19 You exchanged 108 mission credits for 500x 7.62 mm Rifle Round Tracer ammunition = first one. A few weeks after I finished with all the weapon mods.

    I'm guessing the low end is including special offers. I've been watching my mission shop for over a year, and the high end definitely lines up but the low seems off, but I haven't included special offers.

    Anyway +1 for the graphs and proper data presentation.

    Low includes special offers (no way to control that special offer variable, would make an awesome 7* company special wouldn't it!?) which is why I included median figures.

    The special offers are almost always lower; but sometimes they're WAY lower.
