I've been noticing this for awhile and have just never asked the question. Sometimes I'll be playing and look down and I've got like 113 extra bullets (or something high like that). I am NOT using scavenger when this happens.

Best I can tell this has something to do with getting payback, but I'm not sure. So, what causes it?

You still pickup ammo for your gun if you find the same. e.g Find a Tar while using Tar.

Flyt

Holy crap, are you serious??? I never knew that.

Really? I honestly had no idea. So if one used a wildly popular gun (ACR....ewwww) then scavenger would be rendered almost useless.

Thanks

Vomitcretin

But you've noticed sometimes you have way more ammo than you should , right? I'm not crazy am I?

Platy

Max ammo is 180 (I think) even without Scavenger Pro.

You only get bullets from guns with the same attachments as yours.

Skuh

Yes, ever noticed a clicking sound when you walk over guns without scavenger. Next time you hear it check your ammo.

Flyt

I hardly ever look at ammo until after I know I've reloaded several times....I have obsessive reload disorder, so i reload after every kill unless I see more than one guy at a time.

So is it guns with the same attachments or the same guns with the same attachments?

So if I'm carrying an M4 with FMJ, do I need to run over any FMJ gun, or an M4, or an M4 FMJ?

Platy

m4 fmj

Vomitcretin

awesome, would sights count or is it just the type of bullet? (i.e. FMJ or non)

Sorry for all the questions.

Platy

I believe all attachments have to match. I haven't tested it or anything, so I'm not positive.

Skuh

took me a while to work out what that clicking was. Not as long as it took me to work out what the bubble sound was. I kept hearing a soft bubble noise, it was claymores disappearing after someone dies. Drove me nuts

Flyt

Well that makes sense as to why I hardly ever have it happen to me and have never noticed. I usually have strange attachments b/c I'm almost always working on weapon mastery.....mp5, mini Uzi, really any smg with agog are seriously f'd up guns to try to use. I wish they had secondary mastery......

God I hate the ACOG phase of trying to get any SMG mastery,

you sure you have to have the same attachments? e.g. when i have an acr with RDS, and i walk over a acr with silencer, i'm sure i still pick up ammo. i could be wrong though

Platy

I haven't tested it. Someone should.

L4ntastic

The attachments have to match. Notice how it'll say press X to pick up TAR-21 silencer if you're using a TAR-21 RDS.

I notice that I pick up my own ammo, since I'm usually running back to the area where I got killed.

In COD4, the attachments didn't have to match. But in MW2, they changed the way that they work, with Bling etc. Therefore each combination on a weapon would be different.

LOL, the Bullet Fairy is helping you.

It isn't always the case, it must be like Platy said because I don't always get my weapon filled after I kill someone with the same weapon even though it has enough bullets left, I end up having to switch if I don't have Scavenger.

If you go back to the place where you died, you can always get ammo from your own weapon.

Notice that not everyone drops a Scavenger pouch when they die, I guess they have to have it equipped to 'drop it'.

On topic: You must have the same weapon AND attachments as the weapon on the ground in other to pick more ammo, if there is enough ammo in the weapon on the ground you can still carry max ammo even if you don't have Scavenger.
