Wait what? Weapons of the same Category share ammo? | Forums

Until now i thought that weapons have an individual ammo pool...nope

I just equipped my HTI and my G28 together. When i shoot my HTI i also use up the ammo i have for the G28...which kinda makes no sense.
Its not even the same type of ammo, the only thing they have in common is the "Sniper Rifle"

i agree

If they share the same caliber then they should use the same pool, otherwise it makes no sense.

No different than The Division. I'm a little surprised you're surprised by this, it's asking a bit much for them to track how much 5.56/7.62/9mm/.45/etc you're carrying.

The HTI is a .50cal, the G28 is .308. There is no reason for them to share the same ammunition.

The Division is no where near realistic while Wildlands was marketed as being a realistic tactical shooter. Which means they absolutely should have each weapon using it's own ammunition pool. There should be no way to swap weapons on the fly in the middle of nowhere. To change out weapons you should have to be at a cache point. Basically they had to get the game released and cut corners.

The game does differentiate to some degree but I'm not sure how. I wasn't able to pick up ammo from PP-19 smgs that were on the ground for my MP-7.

IMO it makes no sense (ingame) that your 2 weapons share the ammo pool regardless of the type.

If you get to choose 2 guns + ammo to carry why would you leave the ammo for one behind?

We should ether get double amount in one pool or 2 pools.

Welcome to the Next Gen Tom Clancy games!

I agree, but I'm not going to let ammo deter me from having fun, and I'm having a lot of fun playing this game. Just enjoy it for what it is guys. a game thats taking up a large amount of our time.

Truth is, you can sit back and nit pick any game to death, but its just not worth all the time and effort to do so.

it's funny that they share ammo pools, but you can't share mags. you have to have the exact right mag for each gun
