Didn’t read your post, but based on your title you haven’t read the TWAB like 2 or 3 weeks ago where they explicitly stated they were toning down the amount of special ammo, so I think that’s justified.

Special Ammo Players now only drop one Special ammo on death (or equivalent), no matter how much they were carrying (as long they weren't empty). The maximum you can pick up off a Special brick is one for a Shotgun, Fusion Rifle or Sniper Rifle, or equivalent for other weapons. Scavenger adds to this as normal.

Lol no wonder the change is unnoticable, that pretty much changes nothing. You would only get more ammo from a brick if the person you killed had a LOT of ammo, and in a game where most players in the lobby get one maybe two kills per life, at least one of which was probably with a special weapon and therefore consumed the ammo before they could drop it for you, you would maybe get an extra couple shots from a brick once or twice per game. The problem is special ammo dropping on death and being amplified by scavenger mods. Until this is tuned the problem will persist.

Possibly - I used to read / listen TWAB weekly, but since this Season has been dragging on so much, I kinda went on break and forgot all about them. I heard about special getting nerf from another user in similar thread.
