Unlimited Ammo Converting

[Black Jesus 0]

Yeah I noticed that as well. Im trying to refrain from using that feature for now untill it is fixed.

What happened: I tried if converting 2 half empty 1911 clips would be converted to a full one and discovered that it is possible to convert an, no matter how empty (but it has to exist, so 1 bullet at least) 1911 to colt .45 and it would end up in a full magazine - back to 1911 and it´s still full. Unlimited ammo.

Where you were: Did not matter, though i was at the Devils Castle.

What you were doing: Scavanging.

*Current installed version: 1.7.1.5 - Beta Patch 93965

*Server(s) you were on: I Actually don't know, but it was an US one if that helps. :/

*Your system specs: Asrock 870 Extreme3, PhenomII X4 955 Black Edition, GTX460 Gigabyte OC 1gb, 4GB Ram, Windows7 Ultimate x64

*Timeline of events before/after error: Well, i was low on ammo, reloaded too often so i ended up with several half-empty clips and tried to convert them to one full.

I can confirm this.

I was just going to report this as well.

Just got done playing a session and noticed this when I took some ACP ammo off a guy that was half used and converted it.

Glad to know others spotted it as well, and reported it. Could be horribly abused by some.

Well, I fail to see how this could be abused "horribly"! :rolleyes:

It's basically just like log out and relogin and the mag is full again, as the game is right now, so I would not give this a really high priority. ;)

It still should be fixed, though, so thanks for reporting it.:)

Reported this before seeing this thread.

Same issue here.

Good thing it's only for .45ACP for now that can really be abused, abusing the shotgun conversions is much harder, and you wouldn't gain that much ammo.

[antimab 5]

was going to report this ...

allready a report open

So i will just confirm this.

[Chatham 8]

Confirmed as well.

So far i have been able to complete this with:

.45 ACP -> .45 1911

8Rnd M1014 -> 4x2rnd Double Barrel

4xM24 -> DMR

As of now these are the 6 weapons that potentially have infinite ammunition. I feel sorry for all the new spawns that are being sniped in Cherno and Elektro. :(

[Косяк 0]

And m24 ammo's with DMR ammo's

And m1014 x8 as 4 x2.

[LackofCertainty 2]

I wouldn't consider this too high of priority, because really the only one that it matters for is the m24/DMR.

.45/1911 and 8/2rnd shotgun ammo is so plentiful that it's not even worth abusing.

Still, something that needs to get fixed eventually.

[Yeung-Jin 28]

[herd 69]

good job for letting all the nabz know. Submit it to the dev site, not here

[aoshi 32]

why we still have this 'bug report area"..

[Chewy102 9]

I was going to report this, but I can't make any threads due to just joining. So I'll give this a bump and another comfirm.

* [NEW] Player Syncing system replaced (increased performance and ammo quantity tracking)

wasnt fixing this supposed to be part of 1.7.2 ?

I can still convert ammo to get unlimited ammo, and logging off and on again with a more than half full clip refills your clip completely, having a less than half full clip makes it vanish...

guess they forgot about that,

i think its quite important so people dont run around with super strong weapons its normally hard to find ammo for, using this over and over again

Are you serious? This is a place to report bugs, if you think they shouldn't be reported here, you should look at what part of the forums you are.

On-topic: Confirmed working on multiple servers while running 1.7.2 and beta 94444 as well as the latest update, beta 94700. Haven't checked logging out and in, but the combining ammo exploit is still working for the Colt .45 as well as for the M1911

[patrik_poulsen@hotmail.com 9]

Confirmed as well.
