For the love of God, compare your ammo counter to your teammates

Before picking up ammo that your teammate desperately needs. Seriously. I haven’t played my Veteran in probably over 200 hours and I decided to finally hop back on today and I was INSTANTLY reminded why it’s not fun - I can’t even play a ranged class on the RANGED class because it’s impossible to maintain ammo. Oh? Ammo over there? Too bad - your teammate that’s been at full ammo the last 5 minutes of the match has snatched practically everything - leaving the ranged class to be a glorified melee bot.

It’s actually insane to me how Veteran was my first class and they nerfed the one thing that enabled the ranged class to do the very thing it should be able to - FIGHT. AT. RANGED. Nope. Can’t do that, but hey at least the Hive Scum that you need to pay real money for for has unlimited ammo right? Lmao.

Agree with you but it’s hard for players without mods. Iirc in the default hud anything above 50% shows a white icon.

Small ammo tins give 15% and red bags give 50%. Most small tins will (and should) be grabbed by players with white ammo icons

Agreed. It also really depends on the difficulty/seniority of players.

Played a few rounds of Havoc 30+ with Vet and it was really refreshing
how all the guys only took what they needed and let me and my bolter have the ammo I needed.
