Ammo grabbing

[LT. Jack]

Ever since the May update, some of the AAVs and Abram tanks required you to look in a certain direction to refill your ammo. I find that very strange because before if you just look at the ammo bag it was normal and you could refill regularly. Can the devs please fix this tedious bug?

Well that makes sense, I thought it was just me. I couldn't get ammo for anything lol

You guys should be seeing the opposite: our May Quality Update made interactions more consistent and increased the angle in which they can be executed.

We did introduce a new animation for resupplying from the AAV, which could be new for some of you guys.

Can you share a clip or two of the issue? I want to be sure the interactions are functioning properly.

I think it was user error for me. I played with a full squad today and was able to access it.

I just had this happened to me as well, I'll send you a video.
I basically could not pick up ammo until the AAV moved.

From what I've seen, it could be something else. You can't interact with the ammobag while the AAV is in motion, and sometimes the AAV is standing still, but the game doesn't register the stop, and the AAV remains in the motion state. Happens to me more often when the AAV is taking a turn and stops half way through.

Yes, that is exactly what I think happens.

This is correct. Regardless, I've taken a look at your PM on Discord, Lukasoss, and I'll bump the team.

https://youtu.be/Lo_N2NTSRhg In West Manor. You have to stand with your back to grab ammo at the tank (See video, I'm refilling 2x at the tank, you can see it refill right bottom). In the video we are at the end of the mission, but this is also at the start. Before the update from May this was not the case. I don't know if it was the intention of the devs in this mission to cut it of?? Like we supposed to stick with the AAV and not go left, cause that was a tactic of many players, go left to the tank.., after the update, we noticed if you leave the AAV, it will get destryed by enemy.

@Roachclip's example is a perfect example of this bug. Developers, please patch this ammo bag issue

This must be why we could never resupply at the tank in obj virginia, then. All of us always thought you could only do so at the AAV. Nice find.

Got it, thanks for the video! I'll get this reported.

On a related topic, will we ever be able to recover mags or weapons from our fallen squad members? Or exchange mags? There are situations where it would be useful.
