Fix Ammo Tracking

[Gustav Mahler 40]

This is the second biggest problem next to DC to avoid death in my opinion. Right now you effectively have infinite ammo. You just never empty a magazine and when you log out and log back in, they are all full again. And the weapons for which you can convert ammo (1911, Revolver, Shotguns) you get a full magazine after converting a partial magazine.

Please make this a top priority. It eliminates any need to choose your battles carefully, and removes any disadvantage to carrying a super rare weapon.

I can only second this.

Although 1.7.2 aimed already for ammo tracking and rocket managed to partially implement it. Sometimes your magazines get refilled, sometimes not.

As you've already pointed out, the ammo factor is currently out of the game. One of the most immersion-killing concepts of this brilliant apocalypse. Every bullet should hurt two people. The victim and the shooter.

The first day of 1.7.2 it seemed to work. I've been spawning with full magazines ever since.

It still happens, but you can still get infinite ammo.

That being said, welcome to alpha, it will be fixed.
