When picking up Plasteel/ Diamonds, this should be shared, so everyone gets the same Amount, regardeless of whom picks it up. Personal Loot does not encourage Teamplay and will make Peopz angry. Players will run off just for that and get killed.
Maybe even shared Ammo since sometimes you did just get 6 Bullets from one Ammo Pickup which is ridicoulesly low sometimes…
I prefer if ammo is not shared, there has to be consequences for bad team work, otherwise good team work becomes irrelevant.
Tell them if you need it, use your voice.
I recall Hedge saying that Plasteel/Diamonds not being shared was probably a bug.
As for sharing ammo, while the idea is nice I think it takes away from gameplay. Deciding who gets the ammo and how recklessly you can use it is an important part of progressing through a mission.
The UI just needs work so you can see how much ammo people have and see who needs it the most. Otherwise you can just run through a level spamming E on items without even thinking.
never heard of it so i went and looked it up, apparently diamantine is a thing in 40k to describe a composit ceramic meterial that either has diamonds partly in its structure or resembles the molecular structure of diamonds
Interesting. In RL, adamantine is actually a molecule of a single diamond crystal lattice, the smallest chunk it could be and still retain the same atomic geometry.
Sounds like something got switched around in ~39,000 years of chemistry records.
Also, in RL, diamond actually makes pretty poor armor, it’s too brittle (but certain other carbon lattices like graphene would theoretically make great armor, among other things). Hella hard though. Good for etching and cutting, like chainsword teeth maybe.
