1. Is ammo universal? Do different guns use different ammo like a chaingun will use a different type of ammo than a rifle so when you burn through your chaingun ammo your rifle will still have all it's ammo. Or do you just use ammo up in general. Also, when a soldier gives you ammo, does it apply to both guns or does it only apply to the one equipped.

2. Can a heavy character use 2 medium weapons or two light weapons(just an example), or do you have to pick a heavy weapon then pick a medium weapon. Or can you pick a medium weapon and light weapon as a heavy guy. Can a medium guy pick two light weapons etc etc.

3. Do you get to pick which weapon is your primary and secondary or does it just choose the heaviest weapon? I.E. As a heavy do you have to have the heavy weapon as primary and your other weapon as a secondary. I ask this cus I wanna try Medium Medic with a medium shotgun and light rifle. But for the downed fire ability i wouldnt want my light rifle out to shoot with, i'd rather have my shotty out.

Links if you have them please but I haven't seen this talked about anywhere. Also this is all just me randomly thinking.

i think each weapon has a certain number of clips, and i believe you pick a primary and a secondary, and your primary will always be equipped first

With downed fire, you will always have your secondary out, so you'd pull out your light rifle.

A pistol with shotgun shells. Do want. xD

More than likely, the ammo types will be different.

1) Each gun has its own ammo, as evidenced by the fact that in the weapon stats it states the magazine size and the extra ammo amount; for example, the Galactic SMG has 40/200 where 40 is the mag size and 200 is the extra ammo count. So each gun will have its own ammo. And I can't no for sure, but I'm guessing a Soldier will refill both your guns, not just the active one. It just makes sens as, if you empty a gun you'll never have it equipped, so it could never get refilled unless the ability worked on both guns.

2) I'm almost certain a Heavy character could use two medium weapons, or a Medium could use two light weapons, if you wanted. The way it's phrased (I think by one of the developers themselves?) is that a Heavy can have any weapon as his primary, and up to a medium weapon as secondary. So, yes, you could have two weapons of a lower size, if you wanted.

3) No, I don't think you can choose which is your primary and which is your secondary in your example. As I said in point 2, I believe it was phrased that your primary can be up to your class size, and your secondary is one lower. So a Medium could have a light rifle as a primary, but couldn't have a shotgun as secondary. Only a Heavy could have a medium weapon as a secondary, as far as I know.

1. Weapons will have its own ammo, but you can't run over an enemy body and receive ammo from there. I'm assuming a soldier would refill both weapons, or a clip for each. Not sure which.

2. A character can use weapons less than or equal to its maximum. You could have a heavy with a revolver and machine pistol if you wanted, although that would kind of defeat the purpose. Why pick a pistol if you can have a minigun that does more damage and has more ammo with the added benefit of suppressive fire?

3. I'd assume you can pick what weapons go in which slot, but in your class it wouldn't be a problem. I hope you can switch weapons while downed too, which would solve any conflict like that.

You can't switch weapons while downed, otherwise it wouldn't bother to state that you use your secondary weapon.

1. Universal.
2. Yes
3. Heaviest is your primary. If they're the same weight you can choose.

Never asked if you could switch weapon when downed. Was asking if you could choose which of your two weapons would be pulled out when you get downed and if you could pick which one comes out.

1. The one equipped.
2. Yes
3. if you have the right class, smaller weapons like SMGs (Medium and Heavy) can be secondary but pistols are ALWAYS secondary.

I already answered your question, and what you're quoting was clearly addressed to someone else, who mentioned switching weapons while downed...


Source for the first point? I haven't heard anything about that.
And what's this about a pistol always being secondary? Couldn't you choose one as your primary? It would be fairly stupid, but I thought you could choose any weapon allowed by your size. Are sidearms excluded from primary selection? If so, where did you hear that? Thanks.

I've heard that too.

In any of the customisation videos, when they show weapon selection, the Pistols only show up in the "Secondary Weapon" list, not "Primary Weapon" - it's not conclusive, but it implies that, at least when the customisation videos were made, you could only select them as Secondaries.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daFJGJ2tCDM&feature=related at around 1:30 when they're going through the weapons there's Primaries which is all the weapons except for pistols. Then in the next tab there's Secondaries there he could only choose from light weapons and pistols.
I know it's an old build but that's the only one I can find that shows them choosing weapons. I hope this helps.
