Rapid-fire weapons will blast many times in a row each time they do so
Prior to this patch, subsequent blasts were counted as free ammo.
However, after the patch, only the first blast is counted as free ammo, and subsequent blasts are not counted as free ammo.
So it results in the same number of free ammo for a single shot and a burst … This is a huge nerf!
The same goes for Helbores. My Mk II Helbore still consumes ammo normally on critical hits with Shock-Trooper. I decided to swap it out for something else due to the fact.
