# Item Charges (Ammo / Durability)

> Use to update the charge count on an already-equipped item without triggering the full equip/unequip cycle.

Use `SetEquippedItemCharges` to update the charge count on an already-equipped item without triggering the full equip/unequip cycle. This is the intended path for ranged weapon ammo and similar consumable stats.

**C++**:

```
// Decrement arrow count by 1 on each shot (e.g., in GA_RangedAttack)
FItemInstance Quiver = EquipmentComponent->GetEquippedItem(QuiverSlotIndex);
int32 NewCount = Quiver.CurrentCharges - 1;
EquipmentComponent->SetEquippedItemCharges(QuiverSlotIndex, NewCount);
// Fires OnEquippedItemChargesChanged → HUD updates automatically
```

**Blueprint:**

```
[EquipmentComponent] → SetEquippedItemCharges
   Slot Index:   [QuiverSlotIndex]
   New Charges:  [CurrentCharges - 1]
```

Charges are clamped to `>= 0` internally. `OnEquippedItemChargesChanged` always fires even on no-op updates, so guard against that in performance-sensitive HUD code if needed.
