Universal Ammo bugged

[__17]

1. Universal Ammo (from Lavos and Protea abilities) is buggy and cannot be picked up to refill your pistol ammo if you don't have a primary weapon equipped.
2. Lavos' transmutation probe/drone doesn't transmute ammo packs into universal ammo on open world maps.

Both of the cases you describe worked okay for me.  This might depend on specific weapons or mod configurations?

I can confirm that Transmutation Probe is indeed bugged!  However, it specifically gets bugged after equipping your Arch-Gun!  Once done, Transmutation Probe will continue to convert health and energy orbs. But, it will not convert any ammunition at all.  Regardless of the weapon or configuration used.

Bug #2 is occurring for me as well. I have made a video.

 

Contrary to what Misanthrope85 says, this is also happening without equipping archgun first. It just happens straight out of the gate.

 

Of note is that over a testing time span over ~5 minutes, I was able to spawn in universal ammo boxes NEXT to regular ammo twice. I don't know what the difference was for those 2 ammo boxes. They regular ammo boxes themselves were not transmuted. Video of this in action:
