make survivalist stronger. 5% ammo for self, 2% for teammates. let the gun class who likes to pewpew, pewpew even more. also double check to make it round up, not down.
: D
Add more fun. ty

They nerfed it for a reason, because people got way too much ammo (infinite at one point with las weapons), we don’t need that again… I think it’s fine where it’s at, personally, plus you can take Fully Loaded & Always Prepared if you struggle for ammo. If you’re going through that much ammunition, then either you’re missing a sht ton headshots to save ammo or you just never melee. You should only be really shooting prime targets anyways, which is reasonable unless you’re spamming headshots with las weapons that don’t consume ammo.

I do a fair bit of melee and ranged. Playing only ranged is simply a recipe for failure.
On Auric+ there is just a ton of enemies and you go brr. There is no problem with the gun loving rootin tootin cowboy shootin to have infinite ammo.
I am playing ranged vet which honestly only got more viable and easier to play(bla bla bla i already played ranged vet pre-changes long ago its do-able just CBT.) so I already have the %max ammo. I have good crosshair placement and spray transfer so recon lasgun weakspot crit ammo refund procs extremely often.
However, where does that leave the bullet projectile weapons? If we take this further, even if lasguns had that much sustain, what is the problem? If I spec for shooting, let me shoot more. If I wanted to play the way you said, I’d go take the 50% swap speed and play the other 2 lines middle and right. main melee and only swap to kill specialists like you said.

The problem is that you never run out of ammunition with pre-nerfs… It makes the game brain-dead easy. At a certain point, we cannot always have easy street, right. Even in Havoc’s, I don’t struggle with ammo because I’m not mindlessly spamming it unless I use las. There are also nades & melee at your disposal. I still don’t agree with buffs to an OP Aura, even with the slight nerfs it got, it’s still a bit OP, it’s just literal madness to buff it again. Hard disagree on that front. It’s like the people that are complaining about nerfs to Chorus Zealot, even though people spammed it every 10-15 seconds, it’s nonsensical.

Well… No the game does not become brain-dead easy. You’re still actively playing the game and utilizing everything you learned to account for the situation at hand. More ammo simply allows you to play the class the way you wanted to if you just wanted to play pew pew. There are still plenty of enemies on hand while everyone else on the team is still required to play the game. I’m just being allowed to shoot lol

It literally does just spam shooting at everything with infinite ammunition, again, hard disagree. There has to be a reasonable point of equilibrium where you eventually do run out even with bad RNG pick-ups, that’s life man. We cannot always get what we want. Buffing a semi-OP Aura is a bad idea balance-wise, as people pointed out in previous posts. Vet is pretty buff already after the updates anyway. It’s a poor idea.

I would rather have ranged weapon expert skills like the lasgun one - each with their own functionality.

That’s 60% of max ammo a minute for Boltgun, as long as one Elite or Spec is killed every 5s by any teammate in Coherency.

: ) hehehe
You still have to reload, you still have overheat.
you want to buff vet more? lmao… survivalist was a big issue before the nerfs… it doesnt need buffs. if anything its still slightly overpowered. you must have your gun super glued to your hands or something?

and thats okay.
I do have to ask though, why do you all assume I don’t play melee? lol
It depends… If headshots don’t consume ammo for certain weapons like Plasma or Bolter, then I disagree, because that would be even more overpowered… Plus, now with certain Vet builds, you can literally body shot most things to kill anyway with no headshot even with certain ability stacks, so it’s pointless. Unless you mean something totally different with their functionality? Then maybe it’s totally plausible in theory…
