    Are sharpshooter ammo drops bugged?

    I seemed to be picking them up fine....then recently nothing. I've been performing headshots but not one ammo drop.

    Has something happened?

    I'm picking them up fine, without headshots, the npc's are dropping the ammo.

    Its extremely hit or miss on the ammo drops. There are times I will get 4-6 in a mission in a group. Other times I will see 1. All and all, special ammo needs to drop more for everything or the weapons will just not be used really.

    usually get ~6 by the time were on last boss.

    the thing is you need headshot KILLS to boost the luck. not just headshots.

    if you're in an efficient team it can be harder getting the last hit on the head steadily.

    When did you last play a mission? Similarly, I'd say I average between 4 and 6 pre-boss. But recently - nothing.

    I can run missions solo, get headshot kills constantly. And I get zero .50 cal drops. None.
    I know I'm getting headshot kills because that's all I aim for, and I love that hs kill sound. I get quite a lot of hs kills actually.
    It's bugged beyond belief for some people. There are times when I'll get 1 ammo drop during the course of 4 hours in missions/strongholds on Challenge, but usually it's zero drops.

    If I run Demo and get explosive kills, the same thing happens, I rarely get a drop.
    Crossbow I can't be sure as I haven't ran that in a while.

    I’m getting drops of all 3 ammo types regularly. After a CP3 with my alt in WT4 and in challenging bounty with main in WT5 the field is littered with so much spec ammo I can reload from nothing to full and still have rounds lying about. Must just be some people. I rarely use more than one full load per excursion anyways... and prior to any major whatever I just fast travel to the BoO and switch spec weapons to refill ammo. Kind of a pain but at least it’s something.
