Trivia (May Contain Spoilers)

• In the game the Magazine size (also known as the clip size) is incorrectly referred to as Ammo within the statistics of a weapon.
• Melee Weapons did not have a slot in the combat loadouts. Instead, they were inherent javelin abilities. Individual weapon slots were given starting from update 1.3.0.
