| Method | How it works | Pros | Cons | |--------|--------------|------|------| | | Modify the binary save file (or use a third‑party editor) to set the ammo count for each weapon to a very high number. | Works with any installed copy; no need for external programs while playing. | Requires locating the correct offset; updates can be overwritten by the game’s autosave. | | Trainer / cheat engine | Run a memory‑hacking tool that continuously writes a large ammo value to the game’s runtime memory. | Instant effect; works across multiple saves and missions. | Often flagged by anti‑cheat/antivirus; may cause instability or crashes. | | In‑game console / command line | Some community patches expose a developer console where giveammo ‑type commands can be entered. | No file manipulation; changes persist only while the session is active. | Requires applying unofficial patches; not available in the vanilla build. |
