Clip

The Clip is a form of ammunition used for the Pistol, a custom Weapon for Quake. Similar to what the player has in Doom, the player starts with 50 Clips. Like most Ammo types in Quake, this can go up to a maximum of 200.

The Clip in the HUD does not use any form of graphic, the box showing the graphic for the Ammo type is empty, much like the Axe. Further Ammo can be acquired by picking up Shell boxes, which have been altered to include both types in the same box. Small boxes of Shells hold 15 Clips, while larger boxes hold 30 Clips.

Note that Shell boxes are the only way to get additional Clips outside of Cheats. Grunts only drop Shells, they do not hold any Clips on their person.
