I had this happen to me on a stream once - we had a convoy going to a nearby crate. If you are fighting big buggers you might need to be scrappy with your ammo (don't forget grenades, people! I always do.)

Simply being scrappy with the ammo doesnt cut i. If you only fire at the monarchs weakspots you are likely gonna run out of time. There are simply little or no ammo at all on the last part of major hellbug arkfalls. And having to go through 4+ weapons and still run out of ammo.. cant be intended..

Rolling with the Red Thugs!
They just need to put the Small Hellbugs Back in for the Big boss Fights and we will have Ammo all over the Place again they die fast. All the big one take to long to kill and do not always drop Ammo.
^^^^This! So- Much- This!
Look, I know some people complain a bit when there is "too much ammo." But, trust me, a person complaining about being perpetually out of ammo will QUIT playing Defiance.
A person with too much ammo will just complain that he's not challenged because he doesn't have to go hunt for ammo, but he's still playing.
Get in your vehicle and ram stuff, punch stuff or take a minute and run to the nearest ammo box.
I've had this, but then I have simply run/driven to the nearest spawn, and gone back.
Not ideal, but not impossible to deal with either.
My main issue with Arkfalls is how the major ones have players flitting in and out of view, and the sheer time it takes to shoot stuff down.
yeah all the little arkfalls me and my clan did had ammo crates there but once we hit the major one we sent a scout to find ammo and he ended up finding something 1klik away so we woulkd drive out rearm and tele back to our buddy on the friends list lol
its a pain in the *** ! oh and also i came in second on that main arkfall and didnt get jack squat
We had the problem in the beta, too.
But in most cases somwhere near the boss arkfalls is an ammo chest. Find it, and use it![]()
No, lack of ammo during Major Arkfalls isn't going to "kill" Defiance. Remember that zone events in RIFT were nerfed after some time when they seemed to be much too arduous.
Yes, it IS a very real problem that needs to be addressed, hopefully by making sure hellbugs drop loot.
This is probably the biggest issue I have with the game currently. It makes no sense for the mobs to not drop ammo when they do in minor arkfalls and every other part of the game.
