[Feedback] Ammo drops and ammo pickup

325 votes

I really love the current "client side" ammo drops. It really helps with ammo economy and it's a really good thing. But, some weapons (car-4 and the northwest b-9) are really not ammo efficient even with an OK aim. Reinfield and M308 seems to be actually perfect. Also, a skill that allows you to pickup ammo from far away would be nice (scavenger my beloved <3)

Yea the current ammo pickups are a bit stingy.

It's horrible to see a lot of dead policemen on the ground, and next to them boxes of ammunition exactly the same, by way of suggestion, could you change that? put some other 3d box model and vary from one to the other or simply a small mountain of bullets 3d model, and that in the end, there are more variations of ammunition pickup models and that it is not always a green box

I also found that ammo keeps running out, even with ammo boxes and ammo pick ups from dead enemies

Honestly I kind of like not being able to just get infinite ammo by walking over a pile of dead cops but it's definitely hard to keep resources together when you can only have so many ammo bags and still have armor/doctor bags. A slight improvement would be quite nice, or being able to start with maximum ammo.

I like the that the cops are a bit more of a bullet sponge because it makes them more challenging, but I feel like we need to be able to carry more ammo if it is to stay this way. In Payday 2 120 and 150 rounds were perfect because generic cops did not take more than a 3 round burst to the head to kill, but now with the them taking more to kill it feels like you blow through ammo in seconds.

I noticed that different weapons gained different amounts of ammo from boxes, similar to Payday 2. It would be nice if ammo pickup was an indicated stat in the menu.

Perhaps ammo pickups should scale based on difficulty so players can choose if they want to worry about ammo management.

No this is fine, ammo has always been handled this way, get skills to make your pickups more valuable.

In my experience, the only weapons that had ammo troubles were anything full auto.
Getting 3 bullets per drop for a semi-auto or pump action gun isn't an issue, but 3 bullets for a rapid fire weapon is very underwhelming, as it takes a lot more than that to just defeat their armor.

I honestly think that such a small amount of raised ammunition is good, you do not have unlimited resources and it makes the game more tactical, much more impact now ammo bag and other ways to get ammo.

This I agree. Ammo drains very fast so allow us to pickup huge ammo like ~15- 30 on pickup.

I feel like the low amount of ammo if balanced just right.
Some perks even allows you almost not to loose ammo when shooting.

Ammo drops mostly feel fine. Only weapon i have massive Problems with is the Civ V. It's not worse compared to PD2. While i had soem trouble at the start, with adjusting my playstyle and getting used to a more headshot centric playstyle (body shots feel weak) i got adjusted quick i don't need additional Amu bags.

The assault rifles and smgs run out of ammo wayy to quickly, to the point it only feels viable to use shotguns or other guns with lower fire rates

Agreed. Balancing is off. Automatic weapons are way too low on ammo most of the time. Getting 2 bullets from an ammo pick up is way too little. Combined with low-level people that don't have skills to get more ammo. Also no one seems to drop the ammo bags or even bring them in the first place...

ammo drops in release feel balanced based on difficulty

normal, free ammo

hard, enough ammo

very hard, a resource to use carefully but you'll be fine as long as you use your ammo properly

overkill, ammo is scarce and you need skill, knowledge of the heist, knowledge of non-specials weakpoints (its their head incase you didn't know) and knowledge of how many shots/bursts it takes to kill so you don't waste as much ammo holding down the trigger like you're trying to crush your mouse.
