burner phone bug/strategy in multiplayer?

[LSTR]

normally in multiplayer if the gun is loaded with 2 shells it wont say anything, however, i got the gun with 3 loaded shells, racked one, and then used the phone and it actually worked! is this intended? is the number of shells the phone counts determined on receiving the gun? seems interesting

Pretty sure the Phone should be updating the shell count between Beer/Self shooting blanks. If you're getting info at 2 or less shells, it's a bug full stop.

The burner phone is not bugged in Multiplayer

it works diffrently from single player, and people lose count very easy

1.it will always say "how unfortunate" when there is only 2-1 shells left in the gun

2. it counts from the current chambered round
example
(4 shells 3 blank 1 live) phone says "3rd shell live" that means you fire at yourself 2 times Then 3rd shell will deal damage

3. 3 shells is the lowest it will go and how it works means you will always learn the very last shell
(2 lives 1 blank) phone says "3rd shell blank" you now know the full load without magnifying glass

burner phone becomes more and more dangerous information the lower the shell count/players

3/4 shells is the golden opportunity moment for burner phone

the only thing that hard counters burner phone is beer/good old lucky guessing/remote

im aware it works differently. what i was saying was that there were 2 shells loaded and it didnt say "how unfortunate", instead telling me where one of the shells was, when i assume it wasnt supposed to
