Picking up different weapons from the battlefield since there is no ammocrates

I keep finding it odd that I can’t keep fighting basically in any way when I’m out of ammo. Since I’m low campaign level I don’t have too many weapon choices, but when I’m out of ammo I find it hard to having to find similar weapon to pick up. This mostly affects sniping enemies from intermediate range, where you don’t have too many options to take gear from them or someone else.

It would work so much better that even with low level I could kill enemies and take their equipment (grenades, ammo, weapon). This would make make battling smoother. Other thing to fix it would be building ammo crates in the field or having one in base. To make engineers more viable for different tasks.

If you find an smg on the ground took here is more useful for you

Yeah there should be ammo in base but in case of field ammo depot ,propably every team can have one engineer so if you level up you can get one. Also if devs started to put such things as ammo depots or AT guns engineers would be useless as there is no reason to have one becouse everything is already on field.

helpful tip: engineer class can build ammo boxes and a spawn point no matter what squad they are in

Sometimes picking up weapons just doesn’t work, perhaps a looting screen would be a good idea.

Also “Alt-2” will give you 1 magazine of ammo if you have run out, AND have at least 1 other surviving squad member.

It is usually simple enough if you’ve left them under cover - for me the big “if” is myself managing to use up all my own ammo - unless I’m a new soldier type without backpack for ammo pouch and using a AVS automatic rifle with only 30 rounds!

I noticed the ask ammo, but not the ammo box thing. Taking ammo or weapon from my dead teammates isn’t given enough graphical feedback. Like you should be able to take same kind of ammo from fallen teammates, but I keep using over 10 seconds trying to find correct angle to take weapon or ammo from dead teammates. Taking the weapon is the hand grabbing it witch is nice graphical feedback but lets just say this. I’m staring and crouching next to a dead teammate or who ever and staring the weapon. I need some kind of feedback if I can’t or can interact with the items the corpse still has or doesn’t have.

A yes usally you have to aim at the legs of the dead body And next place in the correct distance for try to pick up ammo or wapons this game really need a fix on this
