If you run out of ammo, you're doing it wrong.
If you think 14 blocks weight is not enough, you're doing it wrong.

I have two things to say:

1. Trigger discipline. Get some.

2. Aim more. You should be able to finish a wave with some spare ammo, if you aim. Spraying wildly only works on the M14; even then it shouldn't.

The only situation in which a decent player can run out of ammo is on 25-50 player servers when he stumbles onto several scrakes and fleshpounds.

In standard 6-player game, even suicidal, it's nearly impossible, unless you're a M14 spammer.

To be fair, it is more than possible if you're a firebug who hasn't quite grasped the concept of just tapping the mouse and letting enemies burn down but that's a "flaw" of the player, not the game.

Pretty good on hard mode doesnt make you any good on suicidal.

I might have said yes for a couple of extra carrying slots or mags if they cost enough, but double or triple? Thats horrible. So basically support could carry over 40 slots worth weapons? And have triple the amount of ammo for each weapon??

Insane.

If you run out of ammo, you're doing it wrong.
If you think 14 blocks weight is not enough, you're doing it wrong.

Also if you're using the LAW because you think it's actually good (also takes up 14 blocks), you're doing it wrong.

AmmoCrate

Who runs out on ammo nowadays? Also, didn't most, if not all of your ideas get shot down before?

And three combat armors strapped one onto another that turn a lvl6 medic into an immortal Michelin mascot.

the ammo crate was intended for those big ammo burner weapons these are ak,scar,aa i always some how feel as if medic was short changed a bit the ammo crate would also be useful for fp only matches were you actually need all that ammo so it has its uses in case most of you havent noticed during fp only matches ppl stock pile weapons for the ammo the idea is to give you more ammo breathing room so you wont have to worry about ammo for a while

Meh sorry dude, I'm gonna have to say no.

Weapon harness causes too many game breaking issues. M14 and Crossbow for 1. Extra weight is the SUpports forte, it would be mean to take that off of him.... and if he gets doubled then he can carry all 3 shotguns and a LAW all at once o_O

Ammo crate is a no go as well I'm afraid. Killing Floor is supposed to be a game that is pretty hard. Maybe not as hard as RO, but still hard. Allowing SPray with no consequence is basically promoting M14ery across everyone, and I hate it when a game gets stupid easy :)

Keep thinking though dude, but try to keep the game true to its spirit :)

Double M14 ammo capacity, and make the M14 full-auto. Like the early days.

This is what the new update will contain.

Ammo burners are designed with that purposeful weakness. Mind you, this is a survival game, and you're not Rambo with akimbo. On higher levels of difficulty, you either survive working together, or die.

Oh btw, we have ammo crates. It's those little green boxes that respawn every minute or so on the maps that we play on. They add about one mag or some number of bullets to every reloadable weapon.

And what's this I hear about medics needing ammo?

Btw, LEARN TO USE COMMAS AND PERIODS. All caps necessary. In all seriousness, I almost couldn't understand what you were trying to say.
