Recoilless Rifle Ammo Backpack Reloading

[Woldelele]

Right now to perform a buddy-system quick reload, you need to have another Helldiver equip the ammo backpack. In my opinion it should be the other way around.

Devs, change it so that anyone can help you quick reload by simply having the backpack on the shooter (yourself). Makes more sense mechanically.

You can reaload these solo. But much slower.
Such weapons have crew of two or three people usually.

Yeah, why have Co-op mechanics in a Co-op game... Have you considered that maybe the game isn't your cup of tea?

Of course you can do that, I'm talking about the buddy system.

I agree. It makes sense for another person being able to take ammo from your backpack to reload the recoilless for you.

If you want quick reloads on a big weapon, just use the auto cannon. If you don't use both clips (2x5) if has a very fast single person reload.

Yeah it kinda suck that your teammate have to sacrifice their backpack item to help you reload.

I really like the idea though but yeah, it's really hard to justify telling your team to not carry any backpack item that they wanna use to help you reload your gun.

As a military guy, the weapon loader tended to carry the ammo, while the gunner carried teh gun itself. this is because the guns weigh as much, or more then a healthy amount of the ammo.

That would make it to easy as anyone can reload you then, it requires more coordination for shooter and loader to stick together.
Also shooter can take supply backpack.
The intention is chaotic situations there are so many situational moments where there is no chaos when just any team mate can load you vs only one member.

If you have members in team that are not willing to carry ammo pack they are traitors to Super Earth send them to civilian life

While the idea sound neat, in practice this only work out in pre-made group, as I and many other would rather just carry our own laser bots backpack.

I feel it should be faster than solo but slower than if your buddy has the backpack. There balanced.

[LazyAmerican]

how does that make any sense? All a guy has to do is grab one off your back and reload lol

Puny little guard which does almost nothing for the team vs taking down titan in 3 seconds
Hmm i wonder which one benefits the team more....

Isn't even that slow.
I ignored the recoilless because everyone said it is so freaking slow to self reload. But it is fairly fast.

That's not what OP was talking about. If you would actually read instead of getting triggered by the first word, you would see.
OP only said that in sense of realism and logically it would make more sense if the person who is operating the recoilless would also carry the ammo backpack and the other team mates who would still perform the assisted leload would get the rockets from the back of the operator.
So basically anyone could go up to you and get a rocket from it and reload.
And makes also totally sense.
If you carrying a backpack with ammo, you would still need to get off the backpack from your back and feed the other person's launcher. But if it is on the back of that person, you can just grab it from there.
