How do you avoid running out of ammo?
Mephansteras:
Tried playing this game a bit, and it's fun. But I always seem to die fairly quickly by running out of ammo. Even heading directly to areas like the storehouse tower ends in me getting mauled by aliens.
Anyone got any good tips on how to avoid this?
Kornel Kisielewicz:
Some beginner tips (others will hopefully expand on it):
1) don't use the machinegun, especially at long range -- use the sidearm instead.
2) you don't have to fight everything -- the amount of enemies is unlimited, the amount of ammo -- not. Pick your fights carefully.
Melon:
Don't waste ammo on drones, workers or overseers, unless they attack you or it is really necessary. Drones and workers do fairly low damage, while hunters if lucky can mow you down in few hits. No to mention preatorians...

Pinkies are great, though there are Stalkers and Elites a player would encounter before them. And yeah - they live up to their names (maybe except for Stalkers, which should be named as Killers, imho ;] ).
As for ammo balancing - get the weapons that use different ammo.
Carry few weapons with you and leave them in places that you will easily remember. If you are running out of ammo - switch the weapon.
Melon:
Also, learn when to use grenades. They can be a real ass saver. Be sure to carry a lot of them when you want enter the lair of the queen.
About the Stalkers: I really don't get those aliens. Hunters are fast, Warriors are better armoured, but slower then Hunters, Elites have even greater armour while Preatorians are one tough son of *******. Where do Stalkers go? I really didn't have much problems with them.
