How does the Gunrunner trait work?

[Hobo]

I'm not sure why, but every time I go and get the trait it burns off, even on runs when I haven't been downed, walked into fire, got hit by fire rounds, etc. Does it consume itself if I bring contraband out? That's about the only thing I can think of that I do bar go in, grab trait, and leave.

If you extract with a contraband weapon (weapon you looted or found in the wild) the gunnerrunner trait will take the contraband label off of it but it will cause the trait to be burned away.

No, it's not. Aside from the extra ammo you get, it let's you stack up on weapons you like (no limitations like contraband) or you can sell em.

or, if you make sure NOT to bring in contraband weapons, you can keep the perk around for the ammo pickup.

Taking the contraband tag off the weapon allows you to sell it or stockpile it. You can only hold two of a contraband weapon type.

The trait -literally- says what it does.

better yet bring the trait from prev match go in solo with that precious controband nitro of yours and just extract, as long as you dont spawn right next to players you can work on converting some of your expensive weapons so you can collect more lol

It doesn't say explicitly that it'll burn itself off to convert contraband.

thanks for clarifying that for me, though, everyone.

You can even bring contraband in from your stash, extract immediately and it will remove the contraband status.

It says its a burn trait, burn traits are always removed once they have been used.

inb4 "But m' death cheat", its bugged. Burn traits remove (or should) themselves EVERY SINGLE TIME they are used.

wouldn't it burn off if you refill your ammo at any point, then?

The ammo is an extra, that isn't the traits useage
