    SMGs and Assault Rifles simultaneous amo depletion (Bug?)

    I have 3 SMG variants(different types of amo) and 2 assault rifle variants (different types of amo).. I was able to have my two assault rifles on one load out and NOT have their ammunition depleting simultaneously while only using one of them... Now they both deplete at the same time (Same now for my SMGs)... Not only that, my SMGs depletes along with my ARs...Two different guns (SMG and AR depletes simultaneously).... This must be a bug?.. They need to fix this.

    LMG, ARs, and SMGs all share the same ammo pool unfortunately. =\

    Y'all whine too much.

    Yeah, they don't seem to want back-up ammo loaded into a second gun of the same type that shares the same ammo pool; but it is something they should look into. Also they do not want to understand that SMG's use Pistol ammo either.

    Why must the SMG, AR, and LMG share the same amo pool? They are not even the same gun. I have never seen this any shooter game before. It doesn't make any sense. A tiny little SMG has it its own clip and so does an AR..I hope they change this...

    "Balance" I know, it's a terrible reason but that's their argument.

    Ammo pools need to be tweaked and they know it.

    Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?

    I can't see this happening. Also, in PvE ONLY, the semi-auto sniper rifles need an ammo pool increase. I can't see that happening either.

    Trion has fallen in love with the ambiguity of the word "balance". Oh lol lol and one more lol.

    Did they really say that in their defense?

    That's ridiculous and they know it. Those weapon types sharing the same ammo pool is a terrible oversight. Just like many other things in this game.

    Not a chance it was an oversight. It was actually well thought out and makes perfect sense. This has to be overall one of the dumbest complaints, and most over reacting, that I've seen on here. Get over it.

    THey share the same ammo pool because they don't want people carrying an AR and an LMG, an SMG and an LMG, et cetera.

    Frankly, it's the correct decision IMO. Forcing those weapons to share the same pool is a soft deterrent rather than having the game straight up disallowing it.

    Those combinations would be pretty OP and the content in this game is trivial enough.

    And FWIW most modern LMGs actually do fire AR bullets in real life though it's the difference between magazines and loading belts into buckets but do you really want to the game to make that distinction?

    Or to go one further, should the FRC Heavy Assault Carbine have a separate ammo pool than the VBI AR since the HAC clearly fires cartridges that are of a much larger caliber?

    It was a conscious balance decision. Y'all can QQ about it all you want but it was the right choice.
