Last War: Survival – Ammo Bonanza Event Guide

Ammo Bonanza in Last War: Survival is a recurring five-day event where you collect Ammo and spend it in Bullseye Loot for gear materials. Its most important rewards are Mythic Gear Blueprints.

The event received a major update in 2026. Bullseye Loot is now split into five rounds of 20 levels, and each round awards 2 Mythic Gear Blueprints when you reach Level 20. You no longer need to save 670–700 bullets before earning any Mythic Blueprints.

For most players, the best strategy is to collect every free Ammo task, save until you have roughly 145 Ammo, push one round to Level 20, claim the 2 Mythic Gear Blueprints, and stop rather than immediately starting another round.

How Ammo Bonanza Works in 2026

Ammo Bonanza and Bullseye Loot are two connected parts of the same event:

• Ammo Bonanza: Complete daily objectives to collect Ammo.
• Bullseye Loot: Spend Ammo to reveal targets, find the selected prize, and advance through levels.

The current Bullseye Loot structure contains five rounds. Each round has 20 levels and the same four major milestones.

Milestone	Reward
Level 5	1,000 Upgrade Ore
Level 10	2 Upgrade Ore Lucky Chests
Level 15	6 Gear Boost Choice Chests
Level 20	2 Mythic Gear Blueprints

These rewards repeat in each of the five rounds. Completing all five rounds therefore provides up to 10 Mythic Gear Blueprints from the Level 20 milestones.

How to Earn Ammo

The current Ammo Bonanza has four free daily tasks plus an optional spending task.

Daily Task	Ammo	F2P?
Make 5 Alliance Donations	4	Yes
Complete 1 Radar Task	4	Yes
Train 300 Units	4	Yes
Defeat any Doom Elite once	4	Yes
Buy any qualifying Store pack	6	No

How Much Free Ammo Can You Get?

Completing all four free tasks gives:

• 16 Ammo per day
• 80 Ammo during the five-day event

This is an important improvement over the older version, which provided only 12 free Ammo per day.

How Much Ammo Can Spenders Get?

Completing the free tasks and the daily “buy any pack” objective gives up to 22 Ammo per day, or 110 during the five event days.

The current event also has a dedicated Loot Special Ammo Pack that provides 10 Ammo and is limited to three purchases per event. Using all current free and paid sources can therefore bring the event total to approximately 140 Ammo.

Pack availability and limits can change, so always check the active event before planning around paid Ammo.

How to Complete the Free Ammo Tasks Efficiently

Alliance Donations

Save enough Alliance Science donation attempts to complete five donations after the new Ammo Bonanza day begins. This is one of the easiest four Ammo rewards and should never be skipped.

Active alliance players can also use the Last War Alliance Duel guide to coordinate their resources around VS scoring days.

Radar Task

Make sure at least one Radar Task is available each day. Avoid clearing every task immediately before reset when Ammo Bonanza is active.

Train 300 Units

Keep enough Barracks capacity available to finish the 300-unit objective daily. You do not need to waste a large stockpile of Training Speed-Ups simply to obtain four Ammo if normal training can finish the task in time.

For troop queues and promotions, see the Last War Barracks guide.

Defeat a Doom Elite

The current version adds a fourth free objective for defeating one Doom Elite. Coordinate with alliance members if you need help rallying a suitable target.

This extra task raises the F2P event total from the old 60 Ammo to the current maximum of 80.

How Bullseye Loot Works

Each Bullseye Loot level asks you to select one target reward. The selected prize is then hidden among the targets shown on the board.

Opening one target costs 1 Ammo. Once you find the selected target reward, that level is cleared and you can advance.

The important detail is that the 12 targets shown on screen are not initially equal-probability choices. Bullseye Loot uses weighted odds that improve the chance of the main reward after repeated misses.

Which Target Reward Should You Pick?

The best choice depends on your account’s current bottleneck. Upgrade Ore is a strong general-purpose choice because gear development consumes large quantities of it.

Other options can be better when you specifically need a rarer material. For example, Dielectric Ceramic can be worth prioritizing when it is blocking your Legendary gear progression.

Use this priority:

1. Materials that directly unblock your main squad’s gear.
2. Rare gear materials that are difficult to obtain elsewhere.
3. Upgrade Ore when there is no more urgent bottleneck.
4. Common resources only when the alternatives are not useful.

Bullseye Loot Odds and Guaranteed Attempts

The main target begins with a lower weight than the normal board rewards. Its weighting improves after repeated attempts:

• Starting target weight: 1
• After 3 attempts: 5
• After 6 attempts: 10
• After 9 attempts: 30

Each five-level block follows the same maximum-attempt pattern.

Levels in Each Round	Guaranteed Prize By
1, 6, 11, 16	6th attempt
2, 7, 12, 17	7th attempt
3, 8, 13, 18	9th attempt
4, 9, 14, 19	6th attempt
5, 10, 15, 20	11th attempt

You will often find the reward before reaching the guaranteed attempt, which is why the total Ammo needed varies from one player to another.

How Many Ammo Do You Need for a Mythic Blueprint?

This is the most important change in the updated event.

You now receive 2 Mythic Gear Blueprints when you reach Level 20 of a round. You do not have to complete Level 20 itself to claim that milestone reward.

Goal	Average Ammo	Worst-Case Planning Amount
Reach Level 20 and claim 2 Mythic Blueprints	About 127	145
Complete Level 20 and unlock the next round	About 135	156

Why Reaching Level 20 Is Better Than Completing It

The milestone reward unlocks as soon as you reach Level 20. Completing the Level 20 board is only necessary to open the next round.

That can save a meaningful amount of Ammo. For players focused on efficient Mythic Blueprint collection, stopping immediately after the milestone is usually the better strategy.

Be Careful With Quick Loot

Quick Loot can continue opening targets automatically. If your plan is to stop after reaching Level 20, make sure Quick Loot does not accidentally clear the Level 20 board and begin consuming Ammo toward the next round.

Ammo Bonanza Calculator: How Much Should You Save?

Because Bullseye Loot is luck-based, no single number predicts every run. A calculator or simulation is more useful than assuming every level costs the same amount.

For practical planning:

Ammo Saved	Practical Plan
Under 80	Keep saving unless you only want small level rewards.
80–126	You may make substantial progress, but Level 20 is not a safe expectation.
127	Approximately the average amount needed to reach Level 20.
145	Safe planning amount for reaching Level 20 under the documented attempt limits.
156+	Enough to cover the worst-case full completion of a 20-level round.

The main lesson is simple: do not start a round merely because you have some Ammo available. Enter with enough to reach the milestone you actually want.

Do You Still Need 670–700 Ammo?

Not for your first Mythic Blueprint reward.

The older recommendation to save approximately 670–700 Ammo came from completing a much longer Bullseye progression before receiving the major Mythic reward.

Under the current five-round structure, approximately 670 Ammo is closer to the average total needed to work through all five rounds and collect the full set of 10 Mythic Gear Blueprints.

For most F2P and low-spend players, that is no longer the best way to approach the event. Collecting 2 blueprints one round at a time requires a much smaller reserve and gets useful gear progression into your account sooner.

Best F2P Ammo Bonanza Strategy

F2P players can now collect up to 80 Ammo during each five-day event. That still falls below the 127 average needed to reach Level 20 from an empty inventory, so saving across event appearances remains useful.

1. Complete all four free tasks every day for 80 Ammo per event.
2. Do not spend the first event’s Ammo casually.
3. Save until you reach around 145 Ammo.
4. Start Bullseye Loot only when you can realistically reach Level 20.
5. Claim the 2 Mythic Gear Blueprints as soon as Level 20 is reached.
6. Stop before completing Level 20 unless you intend to continue into Round 2.
7. Carry leftover Ammo into the next event.

With 80 free Ammo per appearance, a new F2P saver can normally build a safe one-round reserve across two event appearances.

Does Ammo Carry Over Between Events?

Yes. Unused Ammo can be stored and used when Ammo Bonanza returns, which is why saving is such an effective strategy.

Do not confuse Ammo carryover with unfinished Bullseye board progress. The safe approach is to complete the milestone you are targeting during the active event and carry only your unused Ammo forward.

If you cannot reach Level 20 comfortably, keeping the bullets is generally better than entering a round and ending the event short of the Mythic Blueprint milestone.

How Often Does Ammo Bonanza Return?

Current event trackers describe Ammo Bonanza as returning roughly once a month as part of the rotating Hot Deals schedule.

Do not plan around an old fixed “every 45 days” date. Event rotations can change, and server timing may differ. Use your in-game event calendar as the final reference for the next Ammo Bonanza schedule.

Best Ammo Bonanza Rewards to Prioritize

The milestone rewards are the main reason to save Ammo, but the smaller rewards still contribute to long-term gear development.

Mythic Gear Blueprints

The 2 Mythic Gear Blueprints at Level 20 are the priority for developed accounts working toward red gear.

Do not spread Mythic resources randomly. Plan them around the most important gear piece on your main formation.

Gear Boost Choice Chests

Each round provides six Gear Boost Choice Chests at Level 15. When Legendary Gear Blueprints are available as an option, they are often a strong choice because Legendary promotion remains an important prerequisite before Mythic development.

For more details, see the Last War Legendary Gear Blueprints guide.

Upgrade Ore

Upgrade Ore is consumed in large amounts during gear development and is a useful default target when your account does not have a more urgent material bottleneck.

Dielectric Ceramic

Dielectric Ceramic can be valuable during Legendary gear crafting and progression. Prioritize it when your gear plan is specifically blocked by ceramic rather than selecting it only because it appears rarer.

The Last War gear upgrade and promotion guide can help you decide where these materials should go first.

Is Spending on Ammo Bonanza Worth It?

The updated event is friendlier to low spenders because the first major milestone is much closer than the old full-run target. However, spending only makes sense when the extra Ammo allows you to finish a worthwhile milestone.

Before buying anything, ask:

• How many Ammo do I already have?
• Can the free daily tasks get me close enough?
• Will the purchase actually let me reach Level 20?
• Do I need the Mythic Blueprints immediately?
• Would waiting one more event achieve the same goal for free?

Buying a pack simply to move from an early level to another unfinished level provides much less value than spending enough to secure a milestone you were already close to completing.

Players who prefer an older account with more established gear progression can optionally browse Last War accounts for sale. Check each listing’s actual hero gear, Mythic Blueprint inventory, season, resources, and progression rather than assuming advanced equipment is included.

Common Ammo Bonanza Mistakes

Following the Old 60-Ammo F2P Calculation

The current event includes a fourth free task for defeating a Doom Elite. Completing all free tasks now gives up to 16 Ammo per day and 80 across five days.

Saving 700 Ammo Before Claiming Any Mythic Blueprint

You no longer need to. Reaching Level 20 in the first round awards 2 Mythic Gear Blueprints. About 145 Ammo is the safer planning target for that milestone.

Spending 80 Ammo Every Event

Using each event’s free Ammo immediately can leave you short of Level 20. Since Ammo carries over, saving until you can finish the milestone is usually more efficient.

Completing Level 20 Automatically

You receive the Mythic milestone when Level 20 is reached. Completing the board spends additional Ammo and is only necessary when you want to unlock Round 2.

Leaving Quick Loot Running Too Long

Quick Loot can spend beyond your intended stopping point. Monitor it carefully as you approach Level 20.

Choosing Rewards Without a Gear Plan

A material is only valuable if you can use it effectively. Focus on the gear pieces and heroes in your primary formation before investing heavily in secondary equipment.

FAQs

How many bullets do I need for a Mythic Blueprint in Ammo Bonanza?

The current Level 20 milestone awards 2 Mythic Gear Blueprints. Reaching Level 20 takes about 127 Ammo on average, while 145 Ammo covers the documented worst-case path to that milestone.

How much free Ammo can I get per event?

You can currently earn up to 16 free Ammo per day from Alliance donations, one Radar Task, training 300 units, and defeating one Doom Elite. Over five days, that totals 80 free Ammo.

How many levels are in Ammo Bonanza now?

The current Bullseye Loot format has five rounds of 20 levels each. Every round repeats the Level 5, 10, 15, and 20 milestone rewards.

Do Ammo Bonanza bullets carry over?

Yes. Unused Ammo can be saved for a future Ammo Bonanza. This makes it practical for F2P players to collect bullets across multiple appearances before making a Level 20 push.

How often does Ammo Bonanza happen?

The current event rotation brings Ammo Bonanza back roughly once a month, but the exact schedule can change. Check your in-game calendar rather than relying on an old fixed cycle.

Should I stop at Level 20?

Usually, yes. Reaching Level 20 immediately unlocks that round’s 2 Mythic Gear Blueprints. Completing the Level 20 board is only necessary if you want to unlock and continue into the next round.

Conclusion

The updated Ammo Bonanza is much more manageable than the old long-track version. F2P players can now collect 80 free Ammo per event, and roughly 145 saved bullets provide a safe target for reaching Level 20 and collecting 2 Mythic Gear Blueprints. Save instead of spending randomly, stop at the milestone unless you are prepared for another round, and use your gear rewards on the heroes that matter most to your main squad.
