BossEpoch Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 So there have been several ocassions where I've been low on ammo for one of my guns and because it's difficult to tell the difference between ammo at first glance, I think that they should be colour coded for type. As an example: Shotgun Ammo - Glows Red Pistol Ammo - Glows Blue Rifle Ammo - Glows Green Sniper Ammo - Glows Orange It'd make it easier for me (or a friend) to say 'hey, there's some pistol ammo over there' and I can easily identify it from a distance and go pick it up.

flacmurry Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 +1 for different colours on the ammo! now its like you NEVER know what you are going to find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunden Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I agree aswell, we definitely need some way to distinguish the ammo types form one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takamori Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 It would help a lot , agree with op. (Also buff rifle bullet drops!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOLTHEON Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) It would help a lot , agree with op. (Also buff rifle bullet drops!) You would need huge maps to even notice the drop. Especially since it's sci-fi, you'd think guns would advance after hundreds of years. EDIT: I probably misunderstood what you were asking. I thought you were talking about bullet drop, as in bullets losing velocity. Edited January 7, 2013 by FOLTHEON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historyboi Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 would suck for people who are color blind. why not just change it to something that dosnt feel like a space holder. give each cartrage a different look. that way i stop sorting through shotgun ammo for rifle ammo.

ZephyrFlow Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Why not make it one ammo for all weapons? Thermal clips anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerHead90 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Thermal sinks made no sense, ever. Also, it would make pistols or long guns obsolete, due to shared ammo. But back to OP - good idea, I hope it'll get to next patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingway Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Agreed, it's pretty annoying to be low on ammo and hunting down for ammo having to tough every single one of the clips on the ground to see wich one is for your weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But back to OP - good idea, I hope it'll get to next patch. I'm not saying shared ammo for all weapons, but instead of having individual ammo drops for weapons(shotgun ammo, pistol ammo), we got thermal clips that every weapon can use and it's not even shared, having color-coded ammo drops looks good, but would'nt it be better if you see only one color because every gun can use that certain ammo?

HammerHead90 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 What you say makes even less sense. Enemies dropping ammo in neat pack containing all four ammo types? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZephyrFlow Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Yeah, it's convenient in a way that you'll never run out of ammo since every gun uses the same stuff, it's really helpful for early levels though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ap0k41yp5 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Not necessarily a color change, but different ammo types definitely need to be differentiable at a quick glance. So model/color differences are needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huff Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Yeah this should really be implemented. I tend to just run around every orange colored ammo drop in hopes of getting the correct one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malachia Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Wow, this is such a small detail but is so important... I was just thinking about how all the ammo looks th sam and how stupid that is =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZomaCaius Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Agreed, or something like diffrent model in general. but i do really like this idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volume Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) You would need huge maps to even notice the drop. Especially since it's sci-fi, you'd think guns would advance after hundreds of years. EDIT: I probably misunderstood what you were asking. I thought you were talking about bullet drop, as in bullets losing velocity. Pretty sure he just meant "Make rifle ammo drop more often" because it's the type that most players run out of most often. I've started using my pistol more when I don't really really need my rilfe (at least when playing solo) because I can go through rifle ammo pretty quickly if I don't change my playstyle. What's annoying is I don't even have a shotgun or sniper, and 80% of the ammo drops are shotgun or sniper ammo drops. Either way, there are some minor differences in the clips, but it REALLY needs to be more pronounced, rather than having me aimlessly run over every piece of ammo hoping it's for a gun I want to use.

Experimentalist Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 If that happens i hope they make the weapon firing look different if u have an elemental mod, just for fun :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
