| Flaming Whetstone | Your next 10 hits each fill 40% of the target's Ignite meter, so 3 hits Ignite an enemy with no fire resistance. Using another one tops the charges up, to a maximum of 15. | 10 hits | 15 | 300 | James's Iron Bench |
| Stasis Whetstone | Your next 10 hits each add 40% Stasis build-up. Using another one tops the charges up, to a maximum of 15. | 10 hits | 15 | 300 | James's Iron Bench |

| Oil Grenade | Explodes for 50 to 100 damage in a 4 m radius, with full damage within 3.5 m of the impact. Caught in your own blast, you take ×0.5 of its damage. It also leaves oil for 20 s that lowers Ignite resistance by 10%. | 4 m radius | — | 300 | James's Iron Bench |
| Deadly Rounds | Your next 10 Pistol shots deal ×1.5 damage. The charges cap at 10, so using another one only refills them. | 10 shots | 10 | 200 | James's Iron Bench |
| Mighty Rounds | Your next 10 Pistol shots deal ×8 Posture damage plus 25 flat Posture, at a ×0.5 damage multiplier. The charges cap at 10, so using another one only refills them. | 10 shots | 10 | 300 | James's Iron Bench |
| Fire-Clad Rounds | Your next 10 Pistol shots each fill 50% of the target's Ignite meter, so 2 shots Ignite an enemy with no fire resistance. The charges cap at 10, so using another one only refills them. | 10 shots | 10 | 300 | James's Iron Bench |
| Stasis-Clad Rounds | Your next 10 Pistol shots each add 40% Stasis build-up. The charges cap at 10, so using another one only refills them. | 10 shots | 10 | 300 | James's Iron Bench |

| Protective Vial | Gives +30% Melee, Ranged, Ignite, Explosive and Stasis resistance for 60 s. | 60 s | — | 6,000 | Louis's Laboratoire |
Numbers come from each item's gameplay effect. Build-up is the share of an unresisted target's status meter filled per hit; enemy resistances reduce it. Sands of Time, Remnant's Return and the other scripted consumables have no numbers to show.

Consumables in Valor Mortis split into Catalyst items, which are banked XP, and combat tools. Coatings and special rounds are short buffs measured in stacks, grenades and vials cover crowd control and status cleansing, and Sands of Time and Fading Light both send you back to a Lantern with different trade-offs. 16 consumables can be bought, so running out of ammunition or coatings is only a matter of Catalysts.
