Unintended switching to Military Grade Ammo

[rubregg]

I'm currently trying out Survival Ranger Hardcore mode and I'm liking it a lot. Except for a few things. I guess my biggest annoyance is the accidental switching of dirty ammo to military grade ammo. It happens even if I am *definitely* not holding the reload button. I just reload my gun and every so often end up with military grade ammo in the mag. It happened on my last playthrough too, but there I could check ammo type on the HUD. In Ranger Hardcore I can hardly bring up my journal to check on ammo type after each reload in the middle of a big mutant fight.

So my question is: How can I avoid this? Is it a bug, does it happen to you guys too?

This happenes to me sometimes and i have no idea what causes it, either way you can press Y to inspect your weapon and see if you have dirty rounds or MGRs loaded in your assualt rifle.

Thanks, good to know I'm not the only one...

What does Y do? I rebound my keys... I know you can theoretically see the ammo by bringing up your watch, but mostly it's way too dark to actually see the difference. When I'm stealthing against human enemies I check by bringing up my notebook, but in a big mutant fight there's no time for that - or for looking at the watch for that matter... :)

well with assault rifles it will switch to military ammo automatically when you run out of normal ammo and reload. there is a bug though where the game will switch you to military ammo when you travel to a new area, such as polis to surface.

Ranger Hardcore mode is not made for those who can't realize what type of ammo they are using, first hardcore gamer needs hardcore resolution and high refresh rate monitor so they can see obviously what is going on in the game then they will surely see the shiny ammo in in all weapons except the silenced sub-machinegun VSF, second hardcore gamer uses a proper headset so they can hear high quality sounds from 5.1 virtualization system in it, third for me it is very obvious what type of ammo I am using since even the fire shoot sound different between military grades and dirty ones and you can surely realize that ammo type changes when you hear the sound of picking up something while reloading so this means the previous ammo left in the weapon has been taken and changed from dirty to military, you also don;t have to reload by holding R since this will register as double R and changes he ammo type, you also have to guess how much left in your weapon by how much you fire, the only bad bug here when you cant switch back from military grades to dirty ones.
I have played the game at the first start at ranger hardcore difficulty and finished it killing everyone in the game :P that is why I did not find the truth because i need to be kind and generous in the game, even the kid i give him his bullet for achievement then i loaded last checkpoint then I played the game on ranger mode ez just for achievement and to find the truth in my way.
