A box of shotgun shells in Doom, E1M1: Hangar.

An energy cell pack in Doom, E2M2: Containment Area.

Most weapons require ammo (ammunition) in order to be used. Each weapon contains an amount of ammo when picked up, which may depend on the game mode being played and the skill level; additional ammo that may be picked up is provided as things placed in levels by the designers, as well as ammo dropped by defeated monsters, such as zombies in the Doom games. Duplicate weapons function as ammo pickups, if they can be picked up.

There are two basic types of ammo thing, small ammo, and large ammo. Large ammo always grants five (5) times the ammunition the equivalent small type provides. In the Doom games ammo received is doubled for each type if the skill setting is set to 1 or 5 (I'm Too Young to Die or Nightmare!), while in Heretic the value of the ammo is increased by only half as much (fifty percent, or 50%) under equivalent settings.

The player can carry only a limited amount of each type of ammo, though certain items or powerups may raise these limits (see below). When a limit is reached, the player is temporarily unable to collect ammo pickups of that type. If he collects an ammo pickup which would raise his total stock above the maximum, he receives only enough to reach the maximum; the extra ammo disappears.
