Extended Mags

Edit on GitHub

Extended Mags is a Perk added in the v0.20.0 "Open Season" update on October 27th, 2024. It increases the magazine capacity of most Guns.

Effects

• Increases the magazine capacity of the majority of Guns.
  • Different guns have a different increased capacity, so it is not a universal stat increase.

Obtaining

In Harvest Mode, Extended Mags drops from the Plumpkin, located in the Plumpkin Bunker. Like other perks, it is occasionally dropped from Airdrops and more commonly from Gold Airdrops.

Strategies

Using

• To make the most out of Extended Mags, choose Guns that are impacted the most.
  • It's best to check out each gun's extended capacity to get the most information on which guns are best.
  • Some good options, however, are shotguns like the Vepr-12 and USAS-12, and DMRs like the Mini-14.
• When you first pick up the Perk, you will need to reload all your weapons to use Extended Mags.
• You can use your extra magazine capacity with DMRs to destroy cover and still have bullets left to kill them.
• Extended Mags is good in Duos and Squads, because you have extra capacity to deal with more players.
• You can bait players into attacking you when they think you're out of bullets, and then attacking them with extra bullets that you still have.

Countering

• Hide behind indestructible or very high health Obstacles and bait your opponent to waste ammunition trying to attack you.
• Use a different Perk that boosts your damage rather than increases your magazine capacity. Keep in mind that while they do have a larger magazine, all the other stats for their gun, including the damage, are the same.
