You still have to go to the terminal to restock anything in your actual inventory, obviously (you can't throw a grenade, +1 to the grenade on the gun menu, and get another one in your inventory).

A very solid tip that I neglected to mention. Someone (maybe you or the other person that mentioned it in this thread) also posted it on the YouTube comments. I wasn't completely sure if it was intended, since you still need to Resupply for other things (like utility/grenade items).

Auto-Resupply is a different beast. It never worked quite right for me. I think the only time it worked, regardless of anything to do with the terminal, was respawning when I had 0/0 of something that I had it ticked on for. For me it's too sporadic or simply doesn't resupply often enough and I tend to spam mine when I notice I'm at 750 back down to 0.

Perhaps I was wrong and this is 'intended', but if that's true, the devs are even more retarded for still allowing you to select an ammo box in your utility. Why would ANYONE in their right mind want to be carrying around TWO ammo boxes? That is incredibly shoddy game design, tbh.

Have ammo deploying work one way or the other, not both.

It use to be, you were able to deploy 2 ammo packs on the ground. 1 being your ammo pack, and the other being your turret ammo pack. So everyone didn't huddle around 1 ammo pack. But I believe that changed now, because most people know about the turret ammo pack, so you can't deploy 2 ammo packs on the ground.

Hmm, it's always worked for me. I think it does only auto-resupply one at a time though. And it auto-resupplies when you grab a load-out/click "Resupply" button on a terminal.

Just wanted to point out--just because the turret ammo box is janky, don't assume that the intended behavior is for engineers to have to choose between ammo box/tank mines. It's more likely that they'll clean it up and make ammo box their F ability.
