Ammunition

[Jinxmasta]

I was wondering, will you have infinity ammo? I think it would be cool but at the same time, sort of cheap. I mean a person could just sit on a hill top and fire rockets at a base and never run out! This way, it would be a bit too easy to take over enemy bases unless they have snipers.

Actually one of our questions to the dev team is similar to this.. There is no money, so you wont have to "buy" ammo. But one would assume you can only carry so much

I hope there is a fixxed amount you can carry. a heavy proably has great big drums of it, but 50 shots is all a sniper should beable to carry for his BD (those are big bullets you know). I Also hope that the vehicles have limits to how much they can carry, like a skeeter only haveing 250 shells as apposed to a reaver or galaxy haveing 1000 or more shells. just my thoughts.

oh oh oh also there are diff kinds of ammo: Ap (armor piercing), Normal, and ones that do agrivated DMG like phosphorous rounds or mecury tipped rounds (damage after the innitial hit) will have to see how usefull those are. Venu weapons will likely have only one or 2 of the ammo types as they are energy, so can not load up a clip of what ever, though we know there pistal can fire normal and AP.



[edit] oh by we i mean me, i think of myself as more then one person, actually i think of myself as all my everquest charcters togeather! the paladin and necro dont get along well) [edit]

Also vehicles have trunks supposedly, which can store ammo in them

I doubt there will be diffrent kinds of shells. Also from everything I've read it does sound like you can only carry a limited supply. I remember Dave saying something at the dev chat about loading up the trunk with ammo before you head out to attack something.

Also if you read some of the weapon profiles it suggests that you can only have so much ammo. I can't remember the exact gun, but one of the TR says "Fires bullets from a Genorus Ammo reserve". That leads me to beleave that some guns will hold a lot more then others.

/me opens trunk
"aww shit, who forgot to pickup the ammo again?"

Oops.......that's the last time I do the shoping.

Awaiting the return of our interview e-mail with the devs, when that happens we'll hopefully know everything we need to. So far we've gathered that you will only be able to carry so much ammo and that it can be stored in the trunks of vehicles, hopefully that will be confirmed or denied and we'll know whether ammo is counted and used in clip form etc.

Unreg, with a list like that you can do my shopping any time

If you can put ammo in trunks, think you can stick people?

That would make for an interesting ride back to enemy base. That is if you don't suffocate first.

Well we know that we can probably load up our trunks with ammo, but what about backpacks/pouches. I think this would be cool but of course you would have to make them look futuristic and part of the armor. Of course, you can't just have a backpack whenever you want but maybe you would need a cert for one. However, you wouldn't need very much BEP to attain a cert for a backpack/pouch.

The devs have stated several times there is normal damage, AP damage, and aggravated damage

Also, a MAX can hold ammo for the squad

hmmmm................But is that damage from diffrent shells fired by the same weapon, or is it shells fired by diffrent weapons?

[Zarparchior]

Yes. Please awe us with this knowledge RocketPower.
