Ammo from ranged ammo drop

[MrCheeseyman]

Since today, noticing that the ammo drops have changed, the amount of ammo that you get from the ammo drop is really ridiculous imo. The reason for this being is that as a sniper, I get 10-20 bullets most of the time and with ANY sniper, you chew through that ammo really really quickly. I was speaking to Xobot about it and he agreed that the amount was too small. It should perhaps be increased so we get atleast 50 bullets per drop. Maybe a chance of getting 100 or something, but having it at 20 bullets a drop is really not good. Same goes with all the other weapons. I got the resisting shotgun and only got 60 bullets out of it which was 3 magazines.

Changing the ammo drops is a big hit on the ranged and makes people not want to play ranged because of the small amounts of ammo they get. A lot of people rely on this. The other thing is the ridiculous amounts of money for ammo in the store. $2k for 100 sniper bullets? what the heck?

So if you could, Increase the amount of ammo everyone gets on all the guns again because the amount we currently get is too small.

I do think that these drops should be increase by 100-300% by the time you have invested 7 points in them.

Also, i feel the health resupplly has little point to spending skill points into it

I will not be increasing the ammo amount.
I've had several people tell me they no longer need to shop for ammo anymore.

It has a low cool down rate so you a lucky I didn't lower it more.

Also, for each point you put into the grenade skills it increase the initial explosion damage to npcs in the area where it lands.

But that is not the point of the ammo drop. It is to give you ammo whilst you are out in battle.

You have to rethink it for each type of weapon Commander, no offence. 10-20 bullets for a sniper is just stupid. All the other weapons that I know of get a hell of a lot more than the sniper

I ain't changing it, if you need more ammo then go and buy it.
The skill is meant to be for an emergency supply of ammo, not a fucking replacement to getting infinity ammo for free.

What we are trying to get through to you is that the amount of ammo we get is too small. The major downfall of the ranged is ammo, so pretty much taking it away is taking out some of the aspects of being ranged. Also, with prices majorly high in the shop, I dont think anyone would want to buy ammo from there anyways. 1620 for 100 bullets? get real.

The Idea that I suggested to some people was having maybe 30-80 ammo (in terms of the sniper) But with a 2-3 minute cooldown, I wouldnt mind that.

But also, the levels that you can put in ammo supply drop should increase the amount of ammo you can get. But set each level at higher intervals so that you cant instantly get 1000 ammo straight away

Cheesy, there is a shop for a reason, it is there to use.

Melee however should feel tempted to buy medkits, i have a though out idea that makes carry'ing food and med kits more viable.
Currently, yes Power of Will is OP. But before i suggest this, i feel other things should be considered
