Hi everyone, thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback! A lot of people said there was too much ammo, and that it was kind of slow and not fun to swap weapons during combat. So I made some adjustments to how ammo and swapping weapons works! Please let me know what you think after you try out the changes! -MattWLA Major changes: [list] [*] Weapon magazines refill after 2.5 seconds holstered [*] Speed up weapon swap time about 2X [*] Add gameplay option to auto swap weapon when magazine empty. [*] Pickups player doesn't need (e.g. at full health, full on ammo type) go greyscale, have color when needed. [/list] Ammo economy tweaks: [list] [*] Certain enemy types drop certain ammo types (before, enemies dropped whatever player was lowest on) [*] standard grunts drop pistol, rifle, and smg ammo. [*] shotgunners drop shotgun ammo. [*] jumpers drop rifle and sniper ammo [*] Reduced ammo pickup values: pistol 50->12, smg 50->12, sniper 10->4, shotgun 8->4, rifle 30->12 [*] Reduced max carryable ammo limits on all weapons: shotgun 24->16, Sniper 30->21, Assault rifle, 150->120, SMG 240->150, Pistol 240->100 [/list] Minor changes: [list] [*] Halfed AR recoil, %80 ROF, doubled damage, reduced max ammo from 180->150 [*] Made shotgun spread more useful [*] increased shotgun shot volume [*] fixed wrong slots being assigned in inventory menu [*] fix issue where arm clips into camera with bolt action (only scoped, other clipping issues in progress) [*] wider pickup range for pickups [*] pickups respawn when orb fight lost [/list]
