Shinentai Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 So, now that 1.0 looks like its going to be a game for the long haul, can i talk about standard ammo in loot? Mid to end game, even with turrets going i always find myself with crate after crate of standard ammo that takes ages to melt down and just generally ends up being thrown away (Which, to be honest feels like a waaaaaaste!) Can we maybe spawn in red tip and black tip ammo in loot once you get past a certain level to re-dress that balance? I've played for a few years now, maxed myself out a couple of times and always found the prevalence of standard ammo in loot frustrating once i'd make the switch to AP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suxar Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Too many options appear. Inventory space is already limited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sells for a decent amount. I find myself with an abundance of ammo too. I only use it during horde nights and for "oh sh*t" moments while looting. I have seen mods where they let you unpack the ammo type to repurpose it, that would be a cool addition.

Thunderbolt-GER Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 (edited) The amount of ammo in loot is really too much. After a few bloodmoons, i also have so much standard ammo that i have to throw away. The traders only buy 3 stacks of each ammo types the forges are full of brass already and i scrapped so much ammo, that i have multiple stacks of brass. I even tried renting a vending machine at the trader and while some ammo was sold, most of it was just gone, when my rental expired. I think it would be more useful, if scrapping ammo also returns gunpowder and lead and not only brass.

I find my friends with crafting skills usually going for HP ammo mainly in the late game. I am the only one who is constantly using standard ammo type. I only wish for HP and AP to be more prevailing in LvL 4, 5, and any late-game Infested Mission POIs. On 7/26/2024 at 1:40 PM, Outlaw_187 said: Dude just sell the extra ammo.

In the late-game, it is kinda awkward situation while swimming in standard ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranticDan Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 be better for an option to dismantle ammo (for a % loss) to repurpose their base resources 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoarrge Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 A thought Change "scrap" to "breakdown" in the workbench interface and grant more/better resources. For some types of items, the breakdown option is unavailable (the UI still says "scrap") until certain upgrades are installed Re-introduce installable upgrades for the workbench "Ammo bench kit" could be required to break down ammo and maybe also access bulk crafting. Add an alternate gunpowder recipe using acid, nitrate, and cloth (nitrocellulose). Maybe work it into a set of explosives perk books. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
