.50 AE

The .50 Action Express cartridge, or .50 AE (Black) is a type of ammunition used exclusively by the Desert Eagle. Although there are no other weapons that use .50 AE, it is possible that there may be more in the future. .50 AE only spawns with the Desert Eagle.

Tips

 * This ammo type only spawns with the Desert Eagle, making it very scarce on the map. It is highly recommended to conserve it and, when used, to be very precise.
 * The Desert Eagle is able to be dual wielded, but the chances of finding multiple are extremely minuscule.
 * Due to the rarity of .50 AE, it is best that you should drop your Desert Eagle when you deplete your ammo, as it is unlikely that you will find more of the ammunition.
 * The tracer for .50 AE is gold colored. If you see a golden bullet flying through the air, it is definitely a .50 AE round.

Trivia

 * .50 AE didn't show up in the GUI until the Log & Load update. This permitted the ability for a player to drop the ammunition by right clicking on the .50 AE icon, if they ever wanted to give it to a teammate. Before this, players could drop .50 AE by dropping the Desert Eagle. This would cause the ammo to be dropped with it.
 * As expected, .50 AE is the rarest ammo type in the game.


 * This is the only ammunition type that isn't written in metric, other than 12 gauge (.50 caliber would be written as "12.7mm"). It is also the only ammunition type that denotes a very specific cartridge.
