12 ga slug

Post » Tue Aug 24, 2010 8:45 pm

After going through endless shots with Big Boomer and constantly running out of ammo I decided to check if I am getting some of my hulls back. And nope I am not. I figured I was just burning through ammo because it uses 2 shells instead of 1 but nope. Everytime I crafted 12 ga slugs I could only do a few at a time and those were from 12 ga that I broke down. Is this intentional or possibly a wrong setting in the G.E.C.K.?

Ammo12GaSlug
Ammo Consumed (Percentage):
None 30.0000

Ammo20GaSlug
Ammo Consumed (Percentage):
Hull20Ga 40.0000

That means a 40 percent chance of getting back a 20ga hull when using 20 ga slugs and a 30 percent chance of getting back nothing when using 12 ga slugs doesn't it?

That's my understanding of it, yes.

Yeah it probably just slipped through. If it was intentional they wouldn't have given you a 30% chance.

I've been going through all of the ammos recently as par tof my own personal dust off of CALIBR and it seems that there are a few ammo types set up that way. Unless the shell type is specifically clicked on and selected in the picklist, when you exit that screen it drops the name and keeps the percentage. i.e. if you type the name, type the percentage, then hit "okay", it will drop the name part when saving ... you have to start typing the name and open the list/click on it in order for it to stick.

I suspect that a few got dropped; oerhaps a nice addition for CALIBR,

I've noticed this behavior a number of places in the GECK. Really annoying when you're doing a lot of repetitive work. *sigh*
