Ammo/Weapon Caches: BTB - ammo refill & weapon upgrades

BTB is supposed to be BTB 2.0 after all so lets add some stuff to fit that new title

I don’t know about anyone else but not having ways to fill up ammo quick besides running up close to ppl and taking their ammo is highly annoying.

BTB needs neutral weapon caches around the map only for basic starting weapons/lower tier weapons but the specialty ammo type and weapon upgrades like the one listed below could be a cool addition


Ammo Cache: (regular ammo):

  • Allows full refill of all spawned-in or low tier weapons
  • Spawns in neutral spots on maps
  • Has a cooldown for each player
  • Unlimited uses for the entirely team

Upgraded Ammo Cache/weapon upgrade:

  • Allows full refill/replacement or upgrade of all weapons giving them ammo with extra benefits
  • Spawns in neutral spots on maps but has numbered uses
  • Has significantly longer cooldown for each player
  • Numbered uses for the entire team
  • Replaces current weapon with a specific upgraded weapon ex - BR with Laser Targeter for increased accuracy

Kinetic bolts - knockback and damage against vehicles
Long Barrel - increases effective range
Laser Targeter - increases weapon accuracy
Threat Marker Attachment - tracks targeted enemy personnel for a short time
Sound Dampener - increases effective range and reduces firing signature
Laser Targeter - increases weapon accuracy but increases enemy alertness
Energy Bayonet - increases melee damage and range

Maybe they could even add ones that drop in for special ammo types/power weapons or upgrades. Would be cool to get an ammo cache that gives you kinect bolt rounds and weapon upgrades like in h5’s warzone. I think it would add some new variety to the maps especially in btb and would be cool to cater towards players/vehicles based on weapons ammo types and upgrades.

feel free to add to this if you have any ideas as to how to make btb 2.0 better and feel more like an upgrade. Thanks for reading

I like the idea of ammo boxes being brought in, because I swear that’s the most common issue I face in BTB. I run out of ammo constantly because I actually shoot people constantly

I agree, ammo is a big problem for me at least. The issue is they give you the same amount of ammo for a 12v12 as they do for a 4v4 and pair that with increased map sizes. Though adding a new mechanic to the game at least this early or anytime soon is unlikely. So maybe this instead…

  • Increase starting ammo by 50% (Spawning Loadout)
  • Increase standard weapon ammo by 50% (Includes BR, Commando, Mangler, Disruptor) (Excludes Hydra, SPNKr, Cindershot, Heatwave, Bulldog, Needler, Skewr, S7, Shock rifle) (Obviously excludes weapons with %charge)
  • Increase spawn times for wall mounts on standard weapons.

I don’t agree with weapon upgrades though cool and would love to see them in a PVPVE situation or Campaign we already have an issue with players standing at wall mounts waiting for weapons not playing the OBJ, adding a station like in WZ to upgrade weapons would have the same result. Plus IDK how as a community we can demand a “return to form” after H5 and then turn around and say no JK you were right we don’t know what we want. “Not all people asked for this I understand that, I myself did not as well but the loud majority did.”

I’m not talking about a req station. It would be a certain weapon crate that would have a specific weapon with different additions.

You’d walk up to a weapons box and it would be the same as picking up a weapon off a rack without menus. It would just say “pick up kinetic Bolt BR” you hold down a button and it switches to that weapon.

That’s it’s, no menus and you don’t get to pick. It just gives you what randomly spawns in as a crate so a certain amount of teammates can grab the same weapon upgrade or ammo type depending on the crate.

Makes sense now but I still stick with the rest of my point.
