Sniper Ammo Mutation is a sniper rifle mod that converts any unused Secondary Ammo into Primary Ammo. The affected weapon will only convert ammo while equipped, and will not convert any ammo type used by holstered secondary weapons until their own ammo is full.
Converted ammo is denoted by a 
symbol. The final amount of ammo restored is rounded to the nearest integer.

Update 32.3 (2023-02-15)

- This would affect a weapon like the Lenz, which now uses Primary Ammo. It can still be found in the Arsenal when searching using the term “Bow”. You can still find your Rubico Prime using the term “Sniper”, so worry not!

Hotfix 31.1.7 (2022-02-23)
