Advanced ammunition management.

Recommended Posts

Currently as we know ammo comes in mags and mags only.

Firstly I would like the ability to take apart 3 half used mags and make 1 full mags one half full mag and 1 empty mag. But as well as that the ability to find empty mags. And the ability to get boxes of ammunition like these

And be able to fill up your mags accordingly.

For example you can have 200 but only 1 mag.

So you'll have to stop and refill it every time you run out.

Of course this would also mean that mags will not be automatically thrown away when empty.

And ammunition can be taken from other mags so long it's the same caliber. Ie the ability to take apart 200 round m249 belts and fill up Stanags etc.

Also the ability to use a gun without a magazine. You'll just have to manually open the bolt breech load whatever round and you just have 1 round that you can use before you have to repeat the process.

This would also mean that in game you can find anything from a full magazine to a half empty to empty magazine.

Since in real life magazines aren't tossed when empty. In training shell casings are even reused. These things are expensive in times of non zombie Apocalypse.

Let alone during.

This is a pretty good suggestion, I have nothing to add to it.

Have some beans and this mountain dew I found.

Great idea. It needs a complete wipe of the current inventory system though.

Which is already happening, along with a completely new zombie spawning mechanic and loot spawing mechanic.

You should read up on the Q&A's that rocket did and some other interviews. He shares a lot of nice information.

This also would open up the operability to get different types of magazines. Excuse me if it sound's a bit CoD'ish but taping two magazines together for quick reload and drum magazines that can all be filled by the same ammunition box you have in your bag sounds interesting. Another thing it does is give the survivors the dilemma of should I carry more magazines so I can go longer in a fire-fight or should I carry a lot more ammunition in the boxes.
