Veteran's "Field Improvisation" Talent Doesn't Fully Restore Grenades in Havoc Because of Reduced Ammo Pickup Amount

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Bugs

Issue Type (Required):

Player Mechanics

Issue Description (Required):

Veteran’s “Field Improvisation” talent is supposed to restore all grenades to players but in Havoc it only restores 2 grenades max. For some reason, Havoc’s “Reduced Ammo Pickup Amount” Modifier affects grenades from an ammo box. I think it’s a bug because normal grenade pickups in Havoc fully restore grenades.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

  1. Play as a Hive Scum
  2. Have a Veteran with “Field Improvisation” talent in the team
  3. Find and place an ammo box
  4. Pick up ammo as a Hive Scum equipped with Boom Bringer
  5. Only get 2 missiles instead of 3 or 4 (with +1 blitz charge talent)

[PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

Yes, but I haven’t tried disabling them

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Constant (100%)

Platform (Required):

PC - Steam

Is it possible you were playing a havoc game of significant rank?

It was Havoc 40 but I’m not sure Havoc modifiers affect grenades replenished from this talent

4

you dont get full ammo back from ammo crates in high havoc

Boom Bringer is a blitz, not a ranged weapon

6

Does the same thing happen to Vet with grenades?

I’ve done some testing and seems like Havoc reduces the amount of any grenades you get from Field Improvisation. Vet gets only 2 nades instead of 3 as well. Though grenade pickups are not affected and restore full grenades in Havoc.

Might not be a bug if all Blitz pickups are affected by this.

Could we get confirmation if this is intended behaviour? @FatsharkQuickpaw :folded_hands:

I think it’s a bug because it applies Havoc’s “Ranged Ammo Pickup Amount“ modifier to grenades from Field Improvisation. I’ve tested it in Havoc with only 15% reduced ammo and an ammo box gives full grenades for Vet (3*0.85=2.55, rounds up to 3).
