Let the engineer rearm other weapons at ammo box

Suggestions

So i noticed a strange thing. While i was playing with my MG squad, i decided to use my engineer that i had in the squad and build some fortifications, ammo box, etc. While i was doing that, the other squad members went yolo and got killed so i picked up as a engineer a MG from them and started shooting. When i got close to empty i decided to rearm at one of the boxes i made and i got this:

shot_2022.02.17_20.35.00
shot_2022.02.17_20.35.001920Ă—1080 385 KB

So the problem is that as an engineer, you only have one weapon slot and if you change your weapon with any other from your team, you can’t get more ammo for it, even if it’s from your squad and you made ammo boxes for them earlier.

It was a bug, normally you can’t refilled pickup weapon from enemy but since you are pick​ing up your dead comrade’s weapon, the game thought you are pick​ing enemy / captured weapon thus disabling you from refilling the ammo. The bug haven’t even got fixed for almost year now.

I assume they are doing this because they don’t want players to grab some dead german person with MG 42 and just refill it using your own ammobox that you build and go rampage with it or different cartridges use in each nations.

Yeah, but as an engineer you only have one weapon, the other slot is used by the hammer. So if you change your weapon as an egineer you only get the ammo you picked up with the weapon, even if you picked it up from your squad members. Problem is that if you change you weapon you cannot get any ammo for it, and you’re stuck looking for other weapons on the ground to fight.

Ally pick up weapons should be able to be refilled.

Side note: I would like to be able to refill rifle grenades from ammo boxes.

i think they should be refillable to a point
you definitely should be able to refill BA rifles and earlier SMGs
but i dont think you should be able to refill picked up LMGs and later SMGs, as that would take away from the point of gunners/assaulter and make SMG and LMG spam even worse

I’m just talking from the perspective of a squad engineer. Since you only have one weapon slot you should be able to rearm any faction weapon you pick up.

You’ve never play battlefield haven’t you?
Everybody who play BF during 2010 remember the grenade spam in the Subway station of Paris.

Don’t bring this to enlisted.
Big grenade bag with det pack with +50% range is already discusting.

I think any weapon of your Faction should be able to resupply ammo.

I can second this! I as well want to be able to get resupply for whatever weapon I pick up except enemy weapons with different calibers

that can be solved by using an variable to identify if the weapon is from the player’s team or not, and if you want to restrict even more you can also use a variable to know if it is from the player’s squad
