Cycle Odin Ammo

[Zack]

The controls say press Tab to cycle Odin Ammo type. I press it many times and nothing happens during a match. Even tried it on full reload

I'm pretty sure I've unlocked the different ammos in the tech tree, how do i use them?

for use TAB. you need to unlock, both new ammo: Explosive and AP.
Also buy the ammo cycle upgrade.
After that, you can use it on the game to change your bullets, very very handy.

Before having all that, you can select your loadout in the Odin upgrades. clicking the ammo icon. they are lock until you buy them.

I recently bought the Explosive rounds. Seeing how TAB wouldn't work, I tried manually selecting the explosive one in the Odin upgrades page. The original long distance one AND explosive one stay checked mark, with no selecting/ de-selecting.

Tab and the in-game Select Ammo Button will work once you buy the Cycle Ammo Upgrade, at the end of the tech tree.
You can select the ammo in the Odin Menu, just click the ammo, and it will change in-game.

Ah ok, I see the Cycle Ammo Loader upgrade (switched to the Beta today). Thank you for the clarification.

No problem!

There ought to be an in-game notification in the Tech tree saying you need the ammo cycle Tech to utilize the ammo types you otherwise unlock.

Assuming I am understanding this...

ADDENDUM: If there isn't such already, I would like to see an indicator on-screen somewhere of what ammo type my Odin is currently utilizing. Sometimes I am unsure.

I shall look for it!

While I have you... in a different thread, I pondered levels where you scrolled left-to-right. Bigger levels with greater ranges involved. Well, I reached one! However, given that this is an action arcade game as well as a tower defence, I find myself rather preferring if I was able to zoom out to view more of or all of the screen. Is a zoom mechanism possible?

[Nacho - Mechs V Kaijus]

No, sorry. When you reach the final of the Chapter 1, you will see that is impossible, specially in that level.

I will keep it in mind for MVK 2 for sure.

Edit: it appears to be a UI thing. A user can select explosive ammo before the cycle technology, it just doesn't show in the UI. It clears out the check box highlight, which is very confusing.

The explosive ammo should really be moved to the back of the tree then. I haven't played in a while and I wasted resources rushing explosive ammo just to find it won't be useful until near the end of the tech tree.

Even more confusing, it shows up in the Oden loadout, but you can't do anything with it. At the minimum maybe put a warning on the Ammo box in the loadout.
