Scarce ammo shouldn’t exist

GENERAL

I just want to rant for a second because I I think it’s so dumb that certain ammo types exist and I can’t just select them at the start of a match. I love dumdum ammo and I used to love bringing frag arrows for my bow etc. They just restructured the loadout system to this 6 level system. I feel like it would be so much better if they made it so that special ammo types increased the level/tier of the weapon you’re bringing i.e. uppercut is a level 2 weapon and explosive ammo could be worth 2 levels, making the uppercut now a level 4 weapon with that ammo type. That way you could still bring these ammo types whenever you want but just like bringing a nitro or avto, there’s an actual trade off for bringing something so powerful. I’d be happy to have a bow with frag arrows and not be able to bring a sidearm without quartermaster or something. Something along these lines, I feel, would be so much better.

I’m admittedly not that great at the game so when I do get dumdum ammo or explosive ammo or whatever through the cargo balloon I never end up using it because I don’t want to bring it and get killed from behind without getting a shot off. At that point it doesn’t even feel like keeping these ammo types in the game is worth it.

I love this game and the direction Crytek has been going with these updates imo is mostly positive but making almost every special ammo type scarce is just lame when you can pick up something like the maxim every single round. Just food for thought.
