'Realistic' Reload Mechanics

Noticed a bug were if you started a reload, switched away and switched back, then you would be charged for multiple reloads without finishing a single reload animation. It happens quite frequently mid-gameplay when switching to secondary after starting a reload.

You can completely drain your ammo pool by just starting a reload, then switching back and forth with your gun.

Would be cool to do manual reload

They keep the magazine. That's why it goes into your reserve.

Terrible mod, breaks all other gun / ammo tweaks, FAT L :steamthumbsdown:

I'm sure people have their reasons but fucking christ this has to be the dumbest mechanic in any game that uses it. I guess it's trying to simulate the heat of battle where you don't have time to put your mag back in your pocket and you just simply discard it but at the same time, why would you discard perfectly good ammo, especially in a survival situation? It would be nice to have a system like swat 4 where reloading mid mag just puts it back into your inventory.

@Krychur you forgot the "reload" word :steamfacepalm:

Reminds me of seeing this same thing in Cry of Fear

@pringles™ no, they'd pick them up afterwards, when the horde is dead.

In Helldivers 2, switching a half empty mag will not bring the ammo back into your reserve so it's technically realistic. It's just that even in that game, you cannot pick the remaining ammunition in that thrown magazine back, same to Left 4 Dead 2.

This is a great mod but I do have to say that if you switch items while reloading, the ammo is placed in reserves. This happens quite a bit on accident, and might become tempting to abuse
Pringles™ Nov 13, 2024 @ 9:56pm 
@Krychur Oh yeah because in the middle of the horde and pressure from mutated monstrosities some dude is gonna be collecting half-used magazines off the ground and unloading rounds from them into their pockets? Yeah right :steamfacepalm: :tank:
Krychur Nov 12, 2024 @ 1:20pm 
"realistic"
it would be more realistic for someone to be able to either A: keep their partially loaded magazine or B: pick it back up off the ground.
MulchMonster Oct 31, 2024 @ 4:13pm 
that is not even realistic
NvrM0r3 Oct 10, 2024 @ 6:05pm 
dont know how possible it is, but it'd be cool if you still had an extra bullet after reloading with ammo left over. The mod is still great tho 10/10

BEST GOD DAMN MOD
Pringles™ Oct 1, 2024 @ 4:28am 
Oooh yeaaah I was thinking about this type of mod a while back, but then forgot about it! Excellent addition! Thank you Chimi :)) :health:

Not bad but reload cancelation still eat your reserve ammo :GDInsane:
VDF_TRUCK Sep 14, 2024 @ 11:34am 
Finally! Some guy noticed it

@Ajiliffe
I see you missed the quotation marks around the word Realistic, no this isn't realistic, it's plain stupid to waste perfectly good magazines.
Blindyomite Sep 1, 2024 @ 1:31pm 
the survivors if they were fucking idiots and threw away a perfectly good mag just because it had 49 bullets instead 50
\/
:spiderpw_pw:
Ajiliffe Aug 30, 2024 @ 1:12pm 
thats actually a good idea, and make it drop the mag aswell so that it would be even more 100000% realistic

Love this, imagine now if the reload gets cancel everytime you shove lol

To be fair, the survivors never actually throw the mags to the ground during the reload animations except for the pistols.

Ambatucry of fear
D.Toshimura Aug 28, 2024 @ 1:55pm 
reminds me of Mafia 1, if we reload but the clips still had 6 bullet, it will reduce ammo quickly like reloading tommy gun or m1911

Man, I fear someone makes this in the future and here we are

Amazing script for those you reload every 2 shots fired xD
You can add a mechanic to actually spawn a magazine on the floor so you can pick it up later, or if you don't, then lose the ammo.

dude this is just like l4d1
LuckyRoot Aug 28, 2024 @ 6:04am 
@senzawa Good point! I am not 100% sure either, but from watching some Youtube videos of guns like the Uzi and Mac 10, it does seem like tactical reloads wouldn't leave a bullet in the chamber for open bolt guns.
In that case, I believe the silenced and normal SMG are the only open bolt guns in the game, so they could be an exception if ChimiChamo is willing to go that far.
some one Aug 28, 2024 @ 5:46am 
now we need a bullet in chamber and a partial reload mechanics for the True Realism Experience™
senzawa Aug 28, 2024 @ 5:40am 
@LuckyRoot not sure but I think open and closed bolt systems have different types, one leaving a bullet in the chamber while one doesn't? or was it some other kind of difference that does that? idk I'm running off pure memory

Plenty of games do that. Alien Swarm too, if I recall correctly.
