Someone mentioned “crit chain” as a volley of crits will now (or have been?) be considered 1-shot. Maybe that is why we went from 2k crits per match to 350 crits. But I have zero knowledge of such a topic.
No timer, just that each crit chain now count for 1 instance of crit refund.
The VId also got its crit chain reduced to two, the 2 ammo returned that you observed was because it was two consecutive chains back to back.
Yes it would seem that the extra ammo used on consecutive shots that all lasguns have is no longer being canceled out by Shock Trooper, you are getting the base ammo cost refunded but obviously recons ramp that “inefficiency cost” very quick. At least that is what seems to be going on from my limited testing.
So basically the shots are getting refunded every crit but the increased cost is not therefore ammo depletes much faster than expected with sustained fire. My main reason for thinking this…
