Weapons seem to fall like rain in Starfield. There are ships and Spacer-infested outposts filled to the brim with pistols, shotguns, and other dealers of pain you can use or sell. Ammunition, on the other hand, can be a bit tougher to come by. And if you need to know where to buy rarer ammo in Starfield, such as the .43 MI Array, you may be left perplexed.
In my long travels across the universe, I’ve amassed a list of stores that I know serve ammunition and things that go boom. I’ll share it below with a vague promise to keep looking and updating as I go along. Everything is categorized by the planet followed by the name and location of the store.

Where to buy .43 MI ammo in Starfield
If you’ve made good progress in the Crimson Fleet questline, chances are you just got handed the unique gun, Keelhauler. This legendary weapon hits like a truck fired out of a cannon. But it uses .43 MI Array ammo, which doesn’t come easily or cheap. You can find this ammo at most .43 MI ammo at arms stores such as:
- Rowland Arms
- Centaurion Arsenal
- Neon Tactical
- Weapons Shop (The Key)
- Best Defense
But it’s not always so simple. Starfield likes to keep things a bit random, and that includes ammo locations. It’s guaranteed you can stock up on bullets at places like New Atlantis and Neon, but the same ammo you bought in one location may not be there the next time. The aforementioned .43 MI Array ammunition is a great example. However, there is one spot I suggest heading to whenever you’re running dry.
The best place to purchase .43 MI ammo is likely Kore Kinetics at Neon Core. To find the store, head to the Trade Tower and enter the elevator to the right. Choose the store name in the list of options, and you’ve made it. Kore Kinetics deals exclusively in ballistic weapons that use MI-type ammunition. When I visited the store last, I was able to purchase 250 rounds of .43 MI. It doesn’t seem like a lot, but if you’re familiar with these types of weapons, it’s almost too much. These things hit hard.
