Split point ammo

[SalgoudTF]

What are the advantages of split point ammo in Online if any? In Story mode, it is supposed to use up dead-eye slower. Does this apply in Online? Is there any reason to spend $400+ for the recipe?

When you get the various types of ammo in your inventory you can switch between them to see what advantages they provide to damage for instance. As for dead eye, I don't use it myself so I'm unsure what benefits if any carry over from the campaign in that respect.

I use the high power stuff (forget what it's called) and explosive ammo mostly. .....never used split point except for a mission it had me equip it and anything I get for free.

Others use it however and I'm sure for good reason. I'm sure someone will be along to help out in clarifying its benefits.

Thanks for the response, Kean. I don't know if anybody even knows about this - split point advantages if any.. Btw, I use the high velocity stuff for long shots, thought the express are I think supposed to be harder hitting.

Yeah, Express were the ones I was thinking of. That's what I use 99% of the time.

Basically for me it's:

-Go to catalouge

-Order tons of regular ammo

-Go to post office whenever I need to stock up

-Realize how much better express is

-Stock up on that

-Have a ton of regular ammo sitting in my inbox

Whenever I fight NPC's, I just switch to regular because Express is noticeably more expensive and I want to get rid of it from my inbox. Express for PVP because I don't have the explosive shells yet. Pretty sure that split point in Online doesn't give you as much of a DMG boost as Express, but it also gives a velocity boost.

Money shouldn't be a problem in this game. Express isn't all that expensive relatively speaking.

Occasionally I max out all my ammo I can buy via the catalogue and then pick up from the P.O. when needed.   ......rinse and repeat.
