The three loads
price per round
Full Metal Jacket
no price
Standard ammunition. Deals even damage to all target types.

Hollow Point
no price
Increased damage against flesh. Decreased damage against armored targets.

Armor Piercing
no price
Meant for armoured targets. How much it actually gets through a plate has never been published.
Waiting for its rifle
.338 Norma Magnum is a full calibre with its own box, and nothing in the alpha armoury chambers it. Bulkhead has confirmed 37 weapons at Early Access against the 33 in the alpha, and only one faction was playable, so the gun that fires it is a fair thing to expect.
How to read this
The loads are a real choice with no published maths behind it. They are separate rounds at separate prices. How much more Hollow Point takes off an unarmoured target, and how much Armor Piercing gets through a plate, has never been published — so nothing here puts a figure on it.
Recorded during the Closed Alpha and held until Bulkhead lifted its content embargo on 11 August 2026. How we source and label everything.
