How to Split Ammo in Escape From Tarkov
Inventory management is the heart of Escape from Tarkov. To improve your account, strengthen your relationship with merchants and be strong against both NPCs and other players on the map, you should learn to organize your items well. This goes through simple things like splitting ammo.
Splitting the ammo you have is very simple. To master this, follow these steps:
- Open your inventory and make sure you have free space.
- Select the ammo you want to split.
- Hold down the left CTRL key on your keyboard and move it to an empty space with your mouse.
That’s it! This way you can divide your ammo into as many piles as you want. Don’t just think of it as an inventory cleanup. You can also use it when playing Escape from Tarkov with your friends to share ammo with them during combat.
If you think you’ll lose all your equipment if you die during the raid, you should wisely allocate the ammunition before starting a new game. Otherwise, you may have to spend your in-game resources on ammo and that sucks.
