We need bigger ammo reserves on all special and heavy weapons

Snipers and shotguns even machine guns have way to little ammo compared to their mag size especially with xeno and succession heritage and commemoration with reconstruction they don't last long enough

  • The econony is of course bad because it was created for enemies where only end bosses had 1 million HP. Nowadays, a Dreg in a high Difficulty NF comes close to that lol. Enemy HP got raised drastically, ammo economy remained untouched. That's like taking all the Vex intensive Strikes out but having a month in a row a kill 150 Vex bounty. Oh wait, works as intended I guess. If you are running Lost Sectors and Strikes, you sometimes even have to look on the floor for more primary ammo.

    • Fusion rifles easily have the worst ammo economy. 13 total rounds for a high impact fusion is kind of terrible.

    • You want an easy game to be easier? Ammo economy is one of the few well balanced aspects.

      • Use ammo finder and scavenger mods with reserves mods. I hardly ever run out of ammo. Instead of spraying and praying, use it wisely.

      • Use mods. There’s builds and armour perks that easily let you use just special weapons

          I'm not so worried about shotguns too much, but would love to see a larger magazine on smg's. Another 10 to 13 at least to push it to around 39-44 or in that area.

        • I half agree, but because of something else. It bugs the heck out of me that players carry "half mags" when at full capacity. Example: Say a sniper rifle has a 4-round magazine and carries 14 rounds in storage. So one magazine has only 2 rounds in it and their is no way to fill it up? Doesn't make any sense. I'd love it if Bungie made it so reserve ammo matched a multiple of the magazine's ammo.

            • something that really annoys me is when you have lets say five sniper mags four are full but one has only one round ( with or without mods ) it makes no sense, why have five mags if you aren't going to fill them all

              • Either that or make primary weapons half way decent again. Right now they are nearly useless.

                • Lmgs for sure, considering their nerf some time ago and their ineffectiveness in boss encounters. Rockets need a mag increase for the same reason. Im of course referring to PVE. Sandbox division would do wonders for this game. Like, true division. For everyone.

                    Use the ammo mods and pick up the little green and purple ammo boxes. If you ran out of machine gun ammo, you are using the machine gun wrong. It is supposed to do addclear, maybe some majors, but you should not waste your machine gun on ultras or bosses, since if it's not xenophage it's not supposed to do boss DPS. Xenophage is an (exotic) outlier. Even if you use rocket launchers for solo lost sector (void shield servitors, truth) on master difficulty, you won't ran out of ammo, except you waste your ammo on purpose instead of using it wisely. Watch a video about the servitor lost sector with Esoterickk using the truth rocket launcher. And especially for public events, we sadly don't really have anymore, except altairs of sorrow you would even never ran out of ammo, despite spamming your rockets, because there ammo drops nonstop like crazy. For sniper rifles, I suggest focus on the bigger enemies and don't waste your sniper rifle ammo on every single red bar. And maybe don't miss every second shot and you should have lots of ammo. And for nightfalls master you can add in ammo mods, for grandmaster you could add in either ammo mods and/or special finisher. It's similar for shotguns. The only weapon that needs help is the linear fusion rifle. Everything else is fine. If not, you either use the weapon type wrong, you have false expectations what heavy weapons can and should, you don't use ammo mods correctly, you don't pay attention picking up the ammo boxes lying on the ground Seriously if they give us even more green and purple ammo (master/grandmaster is fine) but everything else green/purple drops like crazy and nonstop, then why bringing/equipping a primary weapon in the first place then? I mean you should have one purple ammo, one green ammo and one white ammo weapon and use them accordingly. And in most activities you don't even need to care about ammo management at all. So, seriously I don't know what you are talking about. Maybe it's a power fantasy of yours, that you want to nonstop shoot with a shotgun against tons of red bars and that in every activity, without every running out of ammo.

                    • Not every special and heavy weapon needs more ammo, though I wouldn't mind shotguns, fusions, linear fusions, and machines guns having more reserve ammo in PvE only.

                      Machine guns need a damage buff to kill more efficiently

                      • no we dont the special ammo economy is fine, try getting some kills and picking up the special ammo on the ground. you can find it in the green boxes.

                      • Heavy snipers, linear fusions and shotguns a couple extra shots would be nice especially linear fusions currently linear fusions max is about 17 without reserve perks. I dont think special weapons need anymore reserve ammo though using scavenger and finder perks I never run out of ammo and there's always the special finisher that drops special as well

                      • Ammo drops and double scavenger mods and you can literally run a full strike without even needing to switch out your sword. Its no different if you use those same mods for special weapons

                        • We actually need ammo finders to work. Those mods are beyond useless. The disgraced: I kill over 140 enemies per run. When I get 1 small crate to drop it feels like Christmas. Joke.
