Ammo

To edit ammo configurations in OpenCAGE navigate to View > Configuration Editors > Inventory > Ammo.

From here you will be presented with a variety of options which relate to the selected ammo type in the dropdown at the top of the window.

There is no Save button: changes are saved as you make them. An ammo type's file can name another type as its template. Where the selected type doesn't set a value itself, the editor shows the value from its template. When the editor opens it saves every ammo type, writing the values each one inherits into its own file. A box with no value in the type or any of its templates is greyed out and isn't saved.

Read on to see a list of available properties with information about each.

  • NPC Accuracy Multiplier float Minimum: 0 Maximum: 1
    • Multiply accuracy calculations for an NPC.
  • Base Aiming Accuracy Radius float Minimum: 0 Maximum: 10
    • Defines the minimum and maximum base aiming accuracy radius before any penalties.

Damage Rays

  • Damage Rays Per Shot int Maximum: 16
    • The number of damage giving rays per shot.
