Automatically looting AMMO from chests.

[BOYCOTT S-T-E-A-M!]

I don't suppose someone knows a way to make it so that you automatically collect ammo and grenades from chests do they? A mod or config edit or anything along those lines?

I like that you can pick up ammo from the ground automatically, but its a tad annoying having to hold E to get ammo from chests.

I'm not concerned about "balance issues" or anything... I don't play online. I just play single player so its a matter of convienience for me.

If you tried to affect that, it would also do the same in multiplayer because technicly their the same. Just hold e, not to hard.

i'd rather say "it ♥♥♥♥♥ me up!" occasionaly "e" doesnt work (or i dont hold it long enough?!) and i have to double check... this mechanic breaks the flow of the game :/

Yeah, holding E isn't too hard. I've got 450+ hours in the game... I've managed to overcome the difficulty of pressing E and even managed to do it numerous times so far without any major complications or bodily injury.. ;^)

Its just that, as MR.hyde said, it breaks the flow of the game. Its also annoying and in rare instances if you're doing it during a chaotic fight you can actually end up swapping out a piece of your gear and not even notice it.

I'm unconcerned about the effects a modification like this would have on multiplayer. I only play single player. The only "loot ninjas" I have to worry about would be the rat thief mutant guys.

Some game functions are different between multiplayer and singleplayer, such as inventory pausing / not pausing, so i was hoping there might be a hidden option, mod ,etc to allow this functionality. Simply so I can get on with mindlessly shooting things and starring at colored drops without slowing the pace by having to hold E on chest ammo.

I agree. It makes sense for multiplayer, but its an annoyance in single player. It never used to bother me before, but having played the game so long its one of the only things that really interupts the action without adding anything fun. (Granted looking at gear and comparing it also interupts the action, but thats actually enjoyable to do.)

OK, the looting mechanics are part of game play, start asking for that to be dumbed down, when do people ask for the boss to drop dead when they walk in. It's all part of playing the game.

I have also gotten in a hurry and dropped a good gun picking up junk, I just repeat to get my good one back. In fact when I am full and playing slots, I do that to get the junk, turn, drop junk on floor, turn back get good gun/other item back.

If it ain't broken don't fix it.

u like to simplify things, dont u?!

To converse is to simplify things so that the other party get the message. There is nothing about simplifying things that deserve a 'face palm'.

Dear OP, however, is considerate and did not request for gearbox to change the game or create an option just for his own personal preferences. I do hope you find a mod or something identical which fix your problem.

I don't mind the system as is, but I do think that the loot system is a bit too narrow to really make a ton of the loot interesting. I guess I'd prefer that we could equip more, so then I might actually have things to look forward to upgrading more consistently.

Money becomes next to useless as well, so you may as well get used to leaving everything on the ground eventually to not waste the time it takes to sort through it.

As a Gunzerker, I don't even need to pick up ammo as well.

Staying on topic, I do not see the need for an auto loot by holding 'E' that apply for gears. On most situations, I will only pick up the legendaries. Having something like an auto loot, will fill my inventory with unecessary whites and greens which you would say 'break the flow of my game'.

i dont know what u r talking about :O all i learned from ur post is that u like to speak in uneccesary long sentences and that u have an endgame char?!
well i level my char and money has value! and i would like the auto loot for that reason...

Kindly ignore my previous post, I have to say I am uncertain about where this conversation is heading upon skimming through OP thread, and provided a very unrelated reply.

Regarding the flaws with holding 'E' to collect ammo in chests, and the swapping of guns by holding 'E', I have to agree they are a nuisance during my first playthrough. However, those are but minor problems with can be solved with time (by getting use to it).

mkay, i have ca 50h logged in the game maybe i change my point of view when i am at 500h.

Just to clarify things a bit... I'm not asking for an auto-loot of gear in any fashion. All I want is a way to allow me to automatically snag grenades and ammo from chests without having to hold E.

Currently when ammo / money is on the ground from a dead enemy or a broken container your character will automatically pick then up. I don't think its unreasonable to want to be able to automatically grab ammo from chests in this same fashion.

I DO NOT think that guns and other equipable gear should be looted automatically and if that was included I would desperately want it to be disabled. Players inventories would fill up so fast with junk and you'd waste so much time sorting, dropping, and selling that the game wouldn't be fun anymore.

I'm under the impression that you misunderstood what I was asking in my original post. I'm not asking for an massive overhaul of the games looting mechanics and I don't want the game "dumbed down."

Just because something is "part of playing the game" doesn't mean its a "fun" part of playing the game. If the game didn't feature checkpoints and you always had to respawn at the start of an area and hoof it across an empty landscape back to where you were before... you know full well that people would be the forums begging for a way to start closer to where they died. I assume in this case you'd take the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" stance and demand to be force to run across all that empty landscape all the time?

Back on topic... All I want is for the ability, in single player, for ammo from chests to be automatically picked up just like ammo on the ground is. I'm not even asking for the company to put it in the game... I simply want a way to get it done for myself. I don't view it as an issue of the game itself. It's my issue... I find it annoying after playing all this time and think it would be less boring if it was the other way. I mean logically why would I NOT want the ammo? Its just me in my single player world so of course I want to take it.

yes. because mashing E is indeed buggy and there are indeed certain points in the game where you are virtually spending more time bumping chests and crates than doing anything else. TINY TINA'S ASSAULT ON DRAGON KEEP is like 55% pressing E. 45% time spent doing everything else. It does indeed get to be a drag and I have had similar thoughts on this.
