About The Pull Request

Doubles the amount of rounds in .45-70

Why It's Good For The Game

Beacon takes the cake for The Worst Ammo Efficiency In The Game By Far (500 credits for 12 bullets, you are Shooting 40 Credits Each Shot, the equivalent of shooting half a Plasteel Sheet each shot)

Changelog

🆑
balance: .45-70 boxes increased from 12 to 18
add: .45-70 hollow point boxes and A Singular .45-70 Explosive Round is now available in the black market

Just reduce the price, don't double the size of the box. Most ammo boxes are around 2 reloads for the most notable gun that uses it (the ashhand revolver in this case), so the old capacity was in line with that. Too big and it starts to mess with inventory economy. .45-70 is still tied with .300 for having the highest damage for any normally obtainable, non-HP ammo type in the game and can fit in a handgun, so it should have a per-shot price that reflects that, accounting for any reductions in .300's price.

Most ammo boxes are around 2 reloads for the most notable gun that uses it

primary guns that have enough ammo for more than 2 reloads:

• commander
• stechkin
• skm
• illestren
• scout
• shadow
• firebrand
• hellfire / conflagration / brimstone / double barrel
• candor / cobra-20
• detective revolver / flaming arrow
• vickland / inteq dmr

so thats every gun in the cargo catalog (the Exception to Most) barring the WT-550 / SKMv and the aforementioned Ashhand with enough ammo in one box for more than one reload. i dont see your point.

That's fair enough, but that's also a lot of bullets that do 45 damage each in a single small slot. At least make it 18 instead of 24 if you want to increase the size, because fully doubling it is too much in my opinion.

[generalthrax]

I'll settle for that.

made a teensy tiny little change from #3334

[Apogee-dev]

if you want to be REALLY funny you could add .45-70 explosive to the black market for some absolutely exorbitant price, but who knows what effect that would have on gameplay since that shit's guaranteed to blow a limb off if it hits one

[generalthrax]

im not crazy enough to add that just yet

[Apogee-dev]

think about it, black market listing for One Single Explosive Bullet. one thousand credits.

This is funny and rare enough to probably not impact gameplay
