Coloured Ammo Boxes

[Neuhnee]

Running dry in the middle of a sea of Moas sucks. Running dry in a sea of Moas and burning the wrong type of ammo box because they all look the same sucks more. I mocked up a screen shot with a bit of colour on the ammo boxes just like the regular ammo pickups. Seems like and easy, but *very* important fix.

Why not.

Rarely do people use ammo boxes.

I rarely, if ever, use them.

But that doesn't mean I don't want them to be as good as possible. +1, good sir.

[KenseiOmega]

+1'd as well. Those extra seconds it takes me to make sure I'm clicking the right box count when things are hitting the fan.

They should just be the same model not just color of the ones that drop in game.

I don't see why they used a ambiguous gray box.

Same with health and shields. We are used to red orbs in game= health, so why don't they use something we already visually identify with health. Not Turok " +" icons. Specially teal +'s, If it was red I could at least understand it being the universal health icon but its not even red.

Though I still likely wouldn't use them though. I don't even know how much ammo they give. "A bunch" of ammo as in the description could be one more or one less than a !@#$ ton.

So simple yet so crucial.

Yeah. I hate waiting for the tooltip to appear in the middle of a firefight. Even worse that it's a pop-up that brings in mouse control. I wish it was a radial dial.

Yes, like he says yes.

 

And while we are at it having keybinds on them wouldnt be bad.

+1, for sure. Same color as in-game ones. 

[FirstSgtDan]

Looks easy to do and I'm sure it would be a great help.

This is so much needed! I made a thread long ago about this and it needs to be done. Its very confusing when they all look the same. I rarely use abilities because i enjoy shooting the enemy more and i like to solo a lot too so depending on the weapon i run out of ammo sometimes in the middle of a battle.

I agree with the idea, but wouldn't it be simpler if they just placed the actual ammo box that drop for the ammo boxes
