Sniper Ammo Mutation is an sniper rifle mod that converts any unused ammo type into Sniper Ammo. The affected sniper rifle 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.
Although it is listed as a Sniper Rifle exclusive mod, it seems to be equippable on any weapon type that uses Sniper ammo, such as a Tonkor, but not the Komorex.

Acquisition[]
- This mod was originally awarded to players who participated in Operation Sling-Stone.
- This mod is now available from Survival, Excavation, and Spy missions.
Tips[]
- Functions well with Sentinel's
Vacuum or Chesa Kubrow's Retrieve, which automatically collect unused ammo as needed. - Scavenger mods affect the amount of ammo mutated. For example, if Shotgun Scavenger is active, converted Shotgun Ammo will be increased from 15 to 38.
- Incredibly useful for the Ogris, Penta and Tonkor.
- The Lenz and Kuva Bramma can equip both Sniper Ammo Mutation and Arrow Mutation.
- Kuva Bramma will still recover 1 ammo from any pickup.
Bugs[]
- Despite the description stating otherwise, Rifle ammo will always give 3 ammo. This is true for all non-Primed, type specific ammo mutations.
