Rounds/ Magazines as seperate loot.

[Arkc 6]

Rounds and magazines should be found as separate loot in varying quantities.

Weapons should start with 1 mag default and could be filled with the rounds you find. You could also find the occasional magazine with a few rounds already present.

Rounds would take up an individual inventory slot and hold twice as many rounds as a magazine.

thoughts?

no, just no,

sorry, but with where the game is right now with a somewhat clunky inventory system further complicating it with empty mags rounds and rounds with no mag to go in probably would not work out.

tl;dr a good realistic idea but the Arma's inventory system isn't ready for it.

Fuck you.

Besides this, I don't know much of the Arma 2 engine or how complicated it could be.

Essentially I just see it as adding the ability to:

Spawn Magazine's of weapons with a random number of bullets

Able to retain the magazine after spending its clip

Able to implement a way of stacking bullets in one or more slots to hold

Able to implement a way of refilling magazine's with said bullets if they are compatible

Now it is adding new things to the game, but harder things have potentially been added in already, I don't believe it could be that potentially hard.

Would solve the problem of throwing away all your low ammo mags when they implement ammo tracking.

ArmA only knows full magazines if you drop them as loot or reconnect. If you drop them during gameplay they will stay as they are as long as the server doesn't restart.

The ArmA inventory system is capable of outright deleting your items if you make a single mistake

And you want to add even more complicated, interactive items into it just because you think the current ammo system doesn't cut it?

Why not just add cases and bullets and powder so we can reload our own ammo.....it's not like it would drive you into insanity, seeing how overly clunky the current inventory system is already

No....just no

1.7.2 will improve ammo tracking, just wait for it to be released

Terrible idea. While you're at it lets purify water, wash our clothes, brush our teeth, or have to find a can opener, a clean plate, and a microwave before we can eat beans.

More complicated does not equal better.

It's a good idea, but it just wouldn't work with the current inventory system. A backpack system more like ACE's might make it possible.
