LegendaryNeurotoxin Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 So participants with 250 points or more get 5 mods. There was this statement in the update notes: New Ammo Mutator mods: converts unused ammo to select ammo type (Pistol, Shotgun, Rifle, Sniper, Bow). Does this just mean the bow ammo mod and sniper ammo mod will be two separate items? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphyx Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Each mod will be its own mutator. I'm assuming it will see what ammo type you are using and automatically convert the ammo into the one you use when you walk over it. If you use a sniper and you pick up shotgun, rifle, or any other ammo, it will be converted to sniper. That is what I get from their description.

Drusus Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Sooner they get a 'Heavy' Ammo type as well to eliminate the stupidity of Ogris and Torid using Rifle ammo, the better. This seems like a step in right direction in this regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vladiko2 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 but what happens if you need pistol ammo and you have bow mutator? very strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanJokez Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 think what hes saying is why is the Sniper and Bow ammo types listed separate because atm they share the same Sniper ammo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas_Smirked Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 but what happens if you need pistol ammo and you have bow mutator? very strange If it's a weapon mod you should just switch weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTenno Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 This is great for my Sobek, but are all of them having different rarities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkDeadeye Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Ammo boxes anyone? Why am I sacrificing a mod slot for an issue I rarely come across? And why am I doing an event for it? bleh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphyx Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) think what hes saying is why is the Sniper and Bow ammo types listed separate because atm they share the same Sniper ammo Good catch, wasn't sure what exactly he was confused about. Could just be an oversight while they were typing up the announcement or maybe they will be separating the ammo for some reason?

Archistopheles Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 And why am I doing an event for it? You're doing an event to protect our resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkDeadeye Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 You're doing an event to protect our resources. No, I'll just not do it, and not play if they decide to go through with the failstate. Give me something more than 'we're gonna make this game even MORE MONOTONOUS if you don't succeed!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archistopheles Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 No, I'll just not do it, and not play if they decide to go through with the failstate. Ok. Have fun doing whatever. See you tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunpowdertea Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 why would anyone waste a mod slot on this gimmicky crap when you can just buy ammo for 1k credits a box. it's absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seraphyx Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Knowing DE it will be a % chance to convert it ;) More than likely, else what would be the point of leveling it. Unless it give more ammo. % chance to convert and starts off at a penalty conversion rate, say half of the ammo is converted. Curious to see how they do it since some ammo comes in higher packs compared to others like sniper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratuitousLurking Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Technically the sniper ammo WAS called special, so why they deciding to not put the Ogris and Torrid on that ammo is beyond me, specially when it comes to the fact they seem to be singling out bow now? :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
