Remake: More ammo In Vendors

Post by Desolane900 » 07 Aug 2015, 23:14

Summary: The Marine Armory vendors need more M41A ammo in them.

Benefits: People would stop running out of ammo mid to late game.

Details: If the vendors carried more ammo, it would be less of a hassle of going into combat without the optimal amount of magazines. M41A magazines are the most commonly used type of ammunition and often run dry by the time any real combat starts. Late joiners more often than not find the vendors lacking M41A ammo and need to switch over to a different weapon or go loot bodies during a war between the Marines and Aliens. (<--Not fun.)

Implementation: JUST PUT MORE AMMO IN THE VENDORS. Something more than 50! Please!

RO Needs more love, but then again, sometimes there needs to be more. Neutral feels on it.

RO gets his love by handing out attachments.

The only time I find we run out of ammo is when someone does an "Ammo run" and puts a bunch in a locker and then put in the FoB somewhere nobody knows about or something like that. The problem isn't running out of ammo as much as it is someone trying to be helpful and putting a mass of it in a location where everyone doesn't instinctively know where it's at.

You can make as many announcements as you want telling people where it is or what you're doing with it, new comers replacing old meat wouldn't of heard it, and there's a chance that it'll be drowned out/pushed off the screen with all the gunfire even if they HAD the chance to hear it.

What might help with the illusion of running out of ammo is making more locations where you might get it in bulk outside of the RO and the Prep room.

50 is okay, ammo amount was buffed already. Now we need NORMAL AMMO CRATES in RO. Large calibre ammo crate has THREE shotgun boxes and 5(!!!) 10mm ammo clips. This. Is. Bullshit

I find the dispensers have more than enough ammo in them, even when I join really late. RO shipments need fixing tho.
