Why the fuck aren't ammo crates on the mini map

Is this fucking real? Spend like 5 min running around a map trying to find ammo cause my team wont throw any down… SD get your shit together unreal…

you could try learning the map, its not hard they don’t move at all

This one time, I came to the to of the escalators on Terminal and I saw the ammo bin move towards the MG. When it realized it had been spotted it quickly moved back to its normal position.

I feel like you’re getting WAY too angry about this. I agree that it would be nice to have them show up on the minimap, but it is very easy to just learn all the locations since they’re always in the same spot but also don’t get so angry at Splash Damage for this - it is a Beta after all. You shouldn’t expect everything to be perfect.

They changed their locations few months/weeks back and I still don’t know where they all are. I’m still running towards the old locations expecting ammo.
But I do believe they will add them in the future, in the meantime, Skyhammers and Arty players should learn how to drop an ammo pack.

After you play a map 2-3 times you should know where all ammo boxes stand. After all there is always one around. Just try to learn it, doesn’t make that much sence to put them on the minimap, it might cause the minimap to become too full as well.

edit V-2-2 for requesting ammo, makes the chance higher that someone gives ammo. If they still don’t drop ammo you can try to ask them with the voice chat by pressing X, which mostly works out fine for me.

all the more reason to learn where they are, sure they are some areas that don’t have ammo racks nearby and you will need to hope your fops has a few brain cells to throw some ammo around

They should be on the minimap as it would give the minimap some kind of functionality for new players at least. But sadly they aren’t. But hopefully they are something that will be added at some point in the future.

I can agree, they should also give defending side an ammo create, at the back of spawn. It sucks on maps like Chapel when you’re defending the last point and the only ammo crate within the area is basically on attacker’s side. Putting the ammo crate at the back of the spawn means it’s not going to be a camping spot.

That ammo crate is fairly easy to get to. The only place on a map I can think of that just sucks to get ammo on for defenders is the last objective of Underground. That one sucks due to how close their spawns are and people hanging out in that area a lot.

I honestly wish they would put the ammo crates back where they were before the removed/moved a lot of them but it’s not too awful as is IMO.
