The Serious Pack is a resupply item that appears in several Serious Sam games.
Overview[]
The serious pack functions essentially the same as the Ammo Pack, except that, when picked up, it fills up the maximum amount of ammunition for all of the player's acquired weapons.
Appearances[]
Serious packs often appear during or before huge fights against hordes of enemies. This lets the player stock up on ammo before or during a huge fight and lets them know that a big fight is coming. In Serious Sam: Double D, the serious pack is used to let the player restock on ammo during the second to last level's large wave of enemies at the end and the final boss.
In Serious Sam: Next Encounter, the serious pack is extremely rare, and can only be found as a secret.
Tactics[]
- If a serious pack is found normally, the player should be prepared for a big fight as soon as they pick it up, as hordes of enemies will begin to appear soon afterwards.
- If possible, the player should try to conserve a serious pack until it's really needed. It gives them a lot of ammo, but it would be a waste picking it up if the player is close to the maximum amount of ammo for their guns. Note that this should be ignored if a serious pack spawns right before or between waves of enemies, as picking it up is required to trigger more enemies to spawn.
- A handful of serious packs can be found in secrets throughout the games it appears in.
Behind the scenes[]
- The serious pack had a different texture in Test 1. It was a snow-print camouflage Ammo Pack with the Serious Sam logo on it, instead of the final version's red backpack with the Serious Sam logo.
Trivia[]
- In Serious Sam 1, the Xbox, HD and VR versions, the serious pack is actually a regular ammo pack that is set to give the player the maximum amount of ammo and uses a unique model.
