Remnant 2 - Introducing the Gunslinger: A Desperado Who Never Runs Out of Ammo | IGN First
As you fight your way through the unforgiving hordes of Remnant 2’s procedurally generated soulslike levels, you’re going to need bullets – and a whole lot of them.

If I was playing my cards right, I never had to spend valuable time reloading in combat by activating my skill right when I needed a fresh magazine for my weapons.
