I don’t know if this point have already been bring before but, it kinda suck to not being able to use regular ammo for weapon variants. Your weapons run out of ammo fairly fast, especially in Heroic or Legendary, and the fact you are forced to travel back to the nearest FOB each time you encounter enemies to refill your guns is purely annoying. What do you guys think?
The problem is design and placement of Ammo drops. DOOM and Shadow Warrior 3 has the feature that you perform glory kills to get ammo back, but Halo is not the same sort of game where you shoot things and things spill out of their body. H4 and H5 did Ammo economy horribly, leaving the player feeling empty at all times, but Infinite’s introduction of the Ammo Refill stations helped alleviated that a good deal.
I think the best solution available to 343 without literally littering the entire openworld with Ammo Refill stations is to have Grunt Mules drop “ammo packets” on death, along with the 2 or 3 weapons they are already carrying on their back. Cut down the ammo stations, add 1 or 2 Grunt Mules per enemy pack. That should help the player upkeep their ammo and organically introduce more weapons for the player to utilize if they desire to trade out weapons.

Destiny Heavy Ammo crate drops when
Would be nice to be able to refill variant Power weapons with non variant Power weapon ammo, since you never see variant weapons used by enemies or in missions, and virtually never find Power weapon ammo refill machines
You can refill a normal Energy Sword or Gravity Hammer in Halo Infinite now by walking over another one, so why not
I ended up playing with variant Mangler that could be refilled at Kinetic refills, and variant duelist Energy Sword that could only be refilled at Power refill stations, which means I never used it except for faster running and higher jumping to get across the annoyingly large maps a bit faster. Wasn’t worth using the sword ammo for 10 hits or whatever if I can’t refill it

I was thinking the same thing. Then again there are a lot of ammo boxes all over the place.
The power weapon variants I found had the biggest issues with getting ammo refills. If I wanted to keep the skewer, I would need to go to a FOB. This was the case with only the power weapons for me.
Alternatively, if you have the bandanna skull on you can have infinite ammo.
Side note. I would like some vehicle variants to be available when they add DLC. Like the Halo 3 chopper used by one of those spartan killers.
