How do you recompile ammo between magazines?

[bogroll (DayZ) 26]

I've got 5 ak mags that I picked off a 'dead player' plus an AK.

All 5 mags are semi full to varying degrees. In the past you'd just drop them all on the floor and pick them up and you'd get say 4 full and one near empty mag which you'd then discard.

This has evidently changed recently. Any ideas?

Same problem got like 4 semi full FN Fal mags and have no idea how to recompile... It takes up valuable backpack space.

You can't

the glitch was patched out. so stop using bugs and use your ammo wisely!

[bogroll (DayZ) 26]

I wouldn't have called the previous ability to do that a glitch or a bug. I don't think all my mags went to full after putting them on the ground before this new patch?

[Furry_PawstarZ 31]

I thought they just like transferred over like if you had 2 half empty would make 1 full.

this is an annoying "feature" atm..

we need a way to refill the mags into a single full one..

perhaps using the "rearm" button thats currently in the GUI ?

or at the very least someway to tell how many bullets are in each partialy used clip...

You can look in the inventory at the mags. They have a green line that shows how full it is. Its a bit hard to see though, and its not numbers :/

Cant be done.

Another annoying 'feature' is that if you elect to drop the mag with 1 bullet in it - nope! The full one's drop first! I had to drop all the mags in different spots then collect them again, leaving the almost empty one for some drooling noob. In Cherno that's a slight pain in the tits.
