Hailstorm ammo capacity

[Supernautilus]

I think the Hailstorm needs a little bit more ammo. I get that it does a ton of damage. And the mysterium/arcana that gives you extra bullets is great. Still, a few more rounds would be nice. I’m always running out. :(

Opinions?

What are ammo pouches?

[TheLuckyAce]

Bags you can buy at the Trader to refill Ammo (I guess they work that way, not bought them so far)

Yeah. But it replenish not full stack of ammo. I just got about 120 ammo for my ricochet gun from 1 pouch

Oh are those the ones you need Gnosis 2 to buy? I’m only Gnosis 1 so I didn’t know how those worked. So they’re like consumables that you can take with you into an expedition and use them to refill ammo?

Yes, that is what they are. But you can only carry 3 (both standard and demonic) on expeditions.

Ok cool, thanks for the info.

it would be nice a bit more ammo for the hailstorm, I find myself a lot of times without ammo for the primary and secondary in the castle map while fighting the hords and no ammo chest around

Hard disagree. I get that playing the pew-pew sniper is cool (I also like that sometimes! :D) but you have so many options here and hailstorm needs a big downside for how much range and damage it offers.

So either;

a) Carry a backup sniper (makes getting swarmed a nightmare I know :P)
b) Chose another rifle as a primary if you want to primarily engage at long ranges
c) Use Hailstorm as a secondary to deal with rough spots where you need the range.

That's just my opinion though, I get how ♥♥♥♥ like this can be frustrating when you like a weapon so much ^^

Well I just unlocked Gnosis 2 so now I I can buy the ammo bags. So it’s much less of a problem now. ;)

Have fun potting them heretics, glad you came around.

I have to agree with this. It bleeds stamina when you use the scope, it takes a chunk of stamina with every shot. That's plenty of penalization. Adding limited ammo on top of those makes the weapon basically useless. One of those 3 needs to be adjusted. Saying you should bring ammo pouches is true, but I think the weapon is a bit overkill on the penalties.

[EmpathyandEntropy]

IDK. It's the most power single shot gun, excluding hypnosis mysterium triggers, and has unlimited range. You can literally kill the toughest enemies from so far away they cannot fight back. I think it just fine the way it is.

Also, take power drain, last shot, and bring cornucopia. Hailstorm can turn engagements into shooting galleries. You can remove entire encounters with out even the slightest amount of danger.

It gets even worse, last time I checked, the mysterium for extra ammo was bugged - it reloads ammo from your reserves but doesn't give you "extra" ammo as the description promises.

If this gets fixed, one could argue that at least good skill could help you get more ammo.

Because I agree, this weapon has too little ammo - especially considering the fact that ammo finds in the world each only give you 1 (one!) round

The large ammo drop gives 21 bullets.
