    Special Ammo fix will be implemented when?

    So, the evidence is staggering that something changed in the way special ammo drops in the Tidal Basin patch and I would like to know what is being done and when will it be fixed?

    While this is not affecting everyone, I think it's affecting a large number of folks and needs to be fixed. I went from being able to use my special weapon to having it be a cosmetic item and it's not fun.

    I used to get enough drops to be able to use my crossbow or grenade launcher in tricky situation just enough to make it fun, but fair... now it's useless.

    It also used to drop 2 pieces of ammo, now in the extremely rare instance it drops any, it's always 1.

    Please Ubisoft/Massive fix this... otherwise remove them from the game if they are not going to be usable.

    thanks for the info I have this issue only way to get a full load is switch to another specilazion then swap back to the one you want and you will have full special ammo to go as since patch I get no ammo drops at all for demo once in a blue moon I get 1 for survival and my maxed sniper rarely drops.

    Any update on this Ubisoft??? How in the world does this issue take this long to fix????

    Are there ANY developers even working on this game? I just can't understand how long it takes to find and fix issues.

    They said in the state of the game stream today that it won't be fixed in time for the next update.

    Yeah I saw that and was surprised. I mean this part worked find prior to patch...so one would think would be rather easy to find/undo.........but the fact that its "more complicated" means they were trying to put some stealth "change" to the mechanics of special ammo dropping that went wrong....which is worrisome.

    While I dislike nerfs...I understand they are sometimes needed....as long as patch notes show everything that was done....what i REALLY dislike from game designers is stealth changes....of any kind. I hate having the feeling they are trying to hide stuff. Judging from what I have witnessed...and read on the forums....there was ALOT of changes made in this patch that were not remotely mentioned in the patch notes...that really rubs me the wrong way more than the changes themselves.

    Until this is fixed you can go to the White House after each mission/event and change the spec then change it back and you'll have full ammo. Not ideal i know but it's better than running around empty the whole time.

    Yup, that works, but only until the first game crash, which happens quite often since the TB patch... Then you log back in the middle of the mission with the grenade launcher empty anyways
