We’ve seen quite a few points of feedback around inventory management and we are looking to improve the experience for all of you.
I wanted to get a quick idea of how you feel about a few aspects, starting out with ammo weight.
Note that neither this poll nor its outcome are a guarantee that we’ll take a specific course of action, this is just me gauging the general sentiment so we can weigh it against what’s possible technically.
How do you feel about the ammo weight?
Ammo should be left as it is
Ammo should be reduced in weight across the board
Ammo should be weightless
Making ammo weightless should be an option to the player
Ammo weight should be reduced.
Some ammo types weight dont even make sense, why are pistols and submachine gun ammo more or as heavy as assault rifle ammo?
Mines are too heavy.
Just guessing, but I think they reduced the weight of those ammo types the players probably use more. Or at least which have a high bullet output on the battlefield.
I don’t think ammo weight needs to be changed, since it’s already somewhat balanced. However, I think gun weight would be a better place to look (I already have an old thread suggesting this).
Increase the size of the recycle bind. With all the things that can be crafted it make sense we should be able to store more junk as we build up the mass amounts of stuff we need to craft. Crafting something adds weight to the character and reduces weight from the recycle bind. Players complain about how much weapon mods cost in resources, you have to gather and store a lot for a single high tier mod.
If I would be asked if the ressources (those that are stored in a recycling station) should get a zero weight value, I could agree.
They don’t give us benefits in combat and are not useable without a recycling or crafting station.
Their current weight already has been reduced to a ridiculous low amount, some are needed more, some less. So you might be forced to drop those that are used less in order to become able to store others.
Well, once I would have said that this is part of the game… Managing inventory.
I personally don’t have issues with a full recycling station, but it can happen easily that I’m overencumbered because I took some more ressources or got a reward for an accomplished mission.
I really wish there was something done about this, like a toggle for the player to turn off the weight of ammo. I am almost always over encumbered because of ammo and have to unburden myself or stash in corpses to pick back all the while ammo is the lifeline of the game. It really affects the flow of the game and ends up making me put it down. I should not be spending my time sorting ammo. It looks like 45% on this survey wants something done about the ammo please, I like the option to the player idea.
Wouldn’t cry if the wight adjusted upwards on rockets and grenades. Running around with several hundred in a backpack? Make them 6x heavier and give’em 3x as much damage!
IMHO, you should leave everything as it currently is. Making anything easier is a bad idea because the game’s already a minimal challenge even on guerrilla level and the result would just be a "Let’s run around and blow sheet up fiasco. There are already two easier levels than Guerrilla, in Adventure and Skirmish modes. What the games actually needs is a survival mode- but I know, updates are done.
we want to make inventory management more intuitive and clear
