The ammo reserve balance in the game is very poor for so many weapons that would be actually usable. The good guns like the Boltgun and the Kantrael MG XII already have much ammo, so why not buff some of the others?
If you need some detailed examples, keep reading.
Lets talk about the infantry lasguns for a sec
there are 3 - the slow, the medium and the fast if we list them for their RPM
- The slow firing infantry lasgun needs 3 units per shot and has 720 ammo (at 100% ammo stat)
- The medium infantry needs 3 units per shot, has only 600 ammo but also deals less damage?
Guess why nobody uses the medium one over the slow, despite it having the lowest recoil of all 3.
But things get worse.
- The fast firing, low damage infantry lasgun needs only 2 units per shot and has 960 ammo
Lets compare the fast infantry to the slow recon lasgun
- The slow firing recon lasgun also needs 2 units per shot and has 720 ammo?
The single shot DMR has WAY more ammo than the full auto smg style. Same exact thing for the laspistol and these are just some examples.
