"Gives 30% max stock Explosive ammo to all weapons."
— Description


Explosive Ammo is an Ammo Type in Call of Duty: Ghosts in Extinction mode and in Call of Duty: Vanguard. It costs $1250 to deploy. It is one of the most powerful ammo types, as it causes a lot of splash damage. It can be found in Chaos Mode, and once obtained, it will continue to affect all weapons, including ones that are picked-up later on.

Call of Duty: Ghosts[]

Explosive Ammo is among the least popular ammo types in Extinction. Explosive Ammo is the only specialized ammo type that doesn't have an Armory upgrade of any kind, and as such, players are heavily discouraged from using it. For this reason, it's often a bad idea to use Explosive Ammo when playing with others unless everyone agrees to use it so as to not have clashing ammo types. Being on the same page with ammo types is very important when playing with others, since picking up ammo of a specialized type different than what the player has in their guns will eliminate that old specialized ammo, which can result in players seeing a heavy decrease in reserve ammunition. Many aren't willing to use Explosive Ammo over ammo types like Incendiary Ammo or Armor Piercing Ammo, so Explosive Ammo is best left for solo play if one desires.
