How come the monsters don't run out of ammo?

[Captain POLAND]

You'd figure all of the zombies, Spider Mastermind, Cyberdemon, and maybe Arachnotron would eventually run out of ammo like you do.

[Melemesh]

I would assume the explanation to this is deep underground military bases, but I don't know for sure, its just my theory. Alternatively you could also explain this with sewage pipes, but that seems a bit less likely.

[spineapple tea]

They actually do, you just gotta wait a while. Trust me.

"Because it's a game"

[Clippy]

Now I can't play doom anymore

[Snaxalotl]

Hell magic bullets, doomguy is missing out.

[Hitboi]

This Spongebob scene is the answer:

 

 

[Pseudonaut]

They're cheaters.

[out_of_service]

Because they keep typing in IDFA.

When do enemy AI run out of ammo in ANY singleplayer game?

[Alex S.]

Although my answer may not sound terribly scientific, and is not based on any lore, I will stand behind it; Because it's not fun if they ran out.

[Sena]

If they don't have limited ammo, then why do they wait so long before attacking? Don't ask me why, I keep looking for an answer but the government keeps silencing any leads I get.

[KubaloBlackMT]

The Spider Mastermind's holding plate looks like it could hold a mini bullet factory, and Donald Duck is inside doing all the work solo.

[Misty]

Answer is multidimensional pockets. They combine timelines and dimensions to never run out of ammo. That's why chaingunners and masterminds can shoot endlessly when they see you.

I think you're onto something, the enemies don't hesitate on nightmare because they've got double ammo like you do.

[Bauul]

Well if they didn't have infinite ammo they'd need to pick up ammo to restock, and where do you think they'd find that?

 

I think I'd rather they had infinite ammo than stole the player's!

I've played some Fallout 3/NV mods where enemies have limited ammo.

 

But I know that's a huge exception because it was created by fans who wanted more realism

[Doomkid]

They run out of ammo the instant you kill 'em! Some are even generous enough to leave a clip, shotgun or chaingun. The baddies know that sharing is caring.

[Avoozl]

Hell magic.

Meanwhile the demons are aren't possessed don't leave anything. Different demons, different rules I suppose.

But they take that infinite ammo power up with them to the grave and only leave you a few clips, a barely loaded shotgun or a near-empty chain gun.

 

They’ve been Trollin’ us since ‘93!

[Edward850]

Because they aren't programmed to have ammo.

[Graf Zahl]

How come the chainsaw doesn't run out of fuel? :P

 

[Murdoch]

The highly complicated technomological reason is... because video games.

It definitely happened in Oni and as far as I remember enemies in Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis and Deus Ex could run out of ammo as well.

[azerty]

They don't even have the time to run out of bullets before doomguy kills them.

[Dexiaz]

Hmm, all of this made me thinking about joke mod which instead of blood & gore monsters spawns a lot of ammo...

 

 

Well, like Doom 2016&Eternal doing, actually, lmao

[thiccyosh]

They do, but you always kill them when they're low on ammo. You'll always kill a shotgunner when he has 4 shells left.
