Ammo refill

[loui5d 10]

Date - Have noticed this on many occasions

Where i was - irelevant

Version - Current (1.7..4.4 i think)

Server - the one in my sig

If you fire a primary weapon, and reload without the entire clip being fired, you can refill the used clip back up to full by simply relogging. If approved and required i can record a quick video for evidence.

This is a known bug, it's a limitation of the ArmA engine so most likely won't be fixed until standalone.

It's actually been fixed on public servers I think, but on private servers it never refills. From experience I've even gone to entirely different servers on public hive and my mag is still half-empty/full according to what it used to be when I logged out, which is nice for the public servers but not as many people play there anymore due to script-kiddy hackers, unfortunately. Standalone shall be awesome!

it happens to me on public servers all the time. i exploited it today in fact, having my first DMR ever and only 1 mag, and fired it accidentally. i said "NOT UH i cant deal with the little '19' in the corner of the screen."

Yes, relogging will refill all your mags as long as you do not shoot your mags to 0. Server restart will also refill chopper ammo rounds.

Another thing is, if you have camo or gillie gear and civilian clothes, all you have to do to refill your mags is to switch clothes

I think this only happens when you put a gun in your backpack (adequate ammos will go in too), because in backpacks, ammos of the same kind stack all together without considerating their contents.

Considerating?

I'm impressed.

They fixed it on some servers.  Still I found if you put the ammo in your backpack then log and relog the ammo in your pack will be full.
