Title sounds a bit misleading, but this will only happen in custom games.
What if OW had ammo? What if you had to reload and keep an eye on your ammo count? There would be ammo boxes placed in locations across the map and if you kill the same enemy hero as yours, you will be able to pick up their ammo. I know this might not seem important to the game, but it will encourage players to think tactically and plan ahead in the match, especially if you’re playing Elimination.
The devs don’t like ammo because collecting it is boring but essential to all parts of game play. It would restrict spam.
It would slow down the gameplay when people leave the battle to search for ammo packs. You can compare to TF2 where often you would have to leave the battle to get ammo, or swap to an emergency secondary weapon that is much less effective than your main weapon.
That would be an interesting option to add. Definitely not good to have in the main game though.
They should just place ammo packs right next to healthpacks, so we can easily memorize their locations.
Doesn’t matter, it’d just be an option in custom games ,nothing else.
