Durability
Weapons won’t hold out forever. Equipment breaks, and so do your weapons. Each weapon has its own durability that determines how often your weapon jams.
Restoring Weapons and Upgrades
Restoring ammunition can be accomplished by raiding enemy bases and breaking into their stashes. You'll find separate caches of rifle ammo, explosives, and fuel for your flamethrower. These caches can also be used to your advantage as they'll explode and take out anything in the vicinity, but then of course you can't collect the ammunition. But having enough rounds to fire won't be the only thing you need to worry about with your weapons. Each has a reliability rating, and each weapon deteriorates with use. While some are better than others, a carbine Ubisoft was firing started jamming up regularly after three or four clips. As a weapon is used it'll actually get visibly dirtier, the sound it makes will actually change, and eventually it'll stop working altogether.
Completing faction missions gives you money which can be used to buy and unlock weapons. At NPCs you'll be able to purchase a weapons crate which then unlocks an unlimited supply of that weapon for use in the game. The crate is located in a specific location in the game, somewhere you'll need to revisit to restock if your preferred weapon breaks in the field. Beyond that there are a few character augmentations to be had like bandoliers that increase the amount of ammunition you can carry with you. When you do buy weapon crates, special challenges are unlocked that, if you complete the related objective, like kill six NPCs within a discretionary fire zone without being detected, it unlocks manuals. These can be thereafter be purchased at vendors to upgrade your damage and accuracy with that specific weapon, and can also increase a weapon's reliability and the speed at which you remove jams.
