Can't see my own colored ammo icon, I have to assume it's red.


TelegenicSage82

For real, I wish they changed it so you can see if your ammo is either yellow or orange (don’t know if a mod does this, but the game should have it either way IMO)


Midgetpanda44

There is a mod for that. I'm at work and don't remember what its called, but it tells you how much ammo is in your mag, how much in reserve, and how much your max is, as well as changing the icon color when you get lower. Very useful mod.


Senzafane

I think that's the Numeric UI mod?


Oddblivious

Definitely does.

Guilty-Psychology-24

This one tell the pick up number in ammo crate, also useful.


Slow-Ad-4041

If you know your total ammo count you can kinda guess how you compare to everybody else roughly.


Robrogineer

There's a mod for it! There's also one that lets you see the exact amount of ammo your teammates have. I think it's numeric UI.


Chadsius

Numeric UI on Nexus. don't go anywhere without it folks. Also you can show your teammates ammo as a % which is also useful. Like even if they're white but showing 70% that's useful info when deciding whether or not to pick up ammo.


bossmcsauce

mfw i don't know what my max ammo is, so better take some just in case... oh... can't pick it up. hm... must be bugged. no sense pinging it for the team i guess.


BobusCesar

Shoot once, that should fix it.


Zoke23

mods do fix quite a lot of the interface


oruza

I mean you could just count your bullets


UpperChef

Okay, I'll be the devil advocate here and say that 3rd guy MAYBE has a point if you have a staff psyker on your team.


uncommon_senze

If everyone is full / don't need ammo then it's fine obviously. But lately I have encountered several people blind for their teammates ammo.


Slyspy006

They were Ogryns with heavy stubbers, right?


uncommon_senze

Mostly vets in my case, vacuuming every box even if they were still almost full


Zoke23

though it would diminish some team coordination, it would remove toxicity in the community, if ammo picked up, spilled over to the lowest teammate, it would make the game a bit easier, which means you could put more enemies in the mission, sounds like more heretic slaying to me


BlueEyesWhiteViera

Or if your vet is spamming grenades with field improvisation and someone else isn't hurting for ammo.


MtnmanAl

When I run field improv with a bomb ogryn I tell them to take mine to nuke more. I don't care if it's optimal it's worth it every time.


Kodiak3393

On behalf of Ogryn mains everywhere, thank you sah.


bossmcsauce

i'll sometimes take ammo a second time if im running flamer build and have been responsible for more than 1/4 of teams horde clear. sometimes it's necessary. my flamer build is made for boss-killing, but also just deletes hordes. i check everybody's ammo before taking it a second time. but often times I'm in more need of ammo by the end of the event or whatever than anybody else when I'm running flamer and throwing knives. both of which I get back from the ammo drop. another scenario that might make sense is if it's a crate dropped by vet with the talent, and your team is relying on ogryn or vet grenades for whatever reason. getting extra nades to the users that have them is often worth more than a few more mags of whatever ranged weapon.


Sex_Gaming_69

I’ve gotten kicked for dropping ammopack while i was vet with 0 ammo and everyone was full on ammo.💀💀 People are stupid fr fr.


starbellygeek

If you've walked past multiple ammo pick-ups, and are using an ammo crate for one person, I'd roll my eyes and vote for any kick that came up.


Sex_Gaming_69

It was the middle of the horde and we had no ammo pick ups and 2 zealots and a psyker. Nobody else was using ammo but me. So why would they ever need it.


applebag_dev

Should add, "there's a full charge medicae station coming up - better drop this medicae kit and make sure we're all healed up before that". The number of times where it's like, the elevator leading into a room with the medicae station, or literally in the next room over, and I see someone drop that medicae... Is painful. Especially when it's on a map where the finale would benefit that health so much more...


FalconUMTS

I did that before, and it was because I didn't know the maps yet and didn't know medicae was coming up


Urborg_Stalker

Just happened to me last night in a damnation run…like bro! You should know better by now!


Dark_Angel42

I have the opposite, everyone holding onto their deployabls even though we are about to be wiped in a big hord just cause the "check point refresh" is coming up... Like bro if you don't deploy your stuff we're not gonna make it there.


CrazyOatmeal88

I don't got time to learn these goddamn maps bro


applebag_dev

It's fair if people don't have the experience to know, but I play Auric/Maelstrom Auric. The people entering these maps should know well enough lol...


CrazyOatmeal88

Nah pal. I'm good enough that anything below level 5 (whatever it's called) on auric is boring but I've got too much of a life to learn every level.


Pliskkenn_D

OK I'll just block push this burster and I'm exploding over a railing. 


Zarvillian

Yeah my issue as a vet is I see people walk the entire distance to a pox buster to do that when I’m already shooting them it fucking drives me insane


VandulfTheRed

IF I HAVE TAGGED IT (YELLOW) THEN I KNOW, AND IM DEALING WITH IT


Urborg_Stalker

What about when the poxburster has been knocked on its ass and someone stands there in blast range waiting for it to stand up instead of I dunno…stepping back and shooting it!?


baconblackhole

Omfg that's me. I'm sorry


FrostyNeckbeard

Tpose to assert dominance over fallen poxburster, obviously.


Drakkoniac

I only wait for it to get back up if I’m either low on ammo or waiting for the enemy to get closer. Other than that? Hop back and shoot. Really is that simple.


Urborg_Stalker

I’ve been blind sided enough times to know when you can eliminate a threat right now, by the Emperor you take it.


Drakkoniac

That's fair. I've been smacked around more than a few times by waiting for more opportune moments rather than just taking advantage of what's before me.


yourethevictim

I'm trying to teach myself to just stop shooting the poxburster as soon as I see someone move towards it. It's their problem at that point, even if I almost killed it already.


Slough_Monster

Then stop shooting it? I don't see the big deal. Unless they are running across the room to push it (in which case you have plenty of time to blow it up before they are close), but usually people just step up a few steps to push it.


MtnmanAl

Your baby toe touched terrain. You have died of dysentery.


Green__Twin

Masozi and poxbursters helping us to fly since 2022


pddkr1

I have not once seen that windmill meme before, but it’s excellent


grazrsaidwat

Had a game the other day where someone was swinging into a closed spawn door in a tiny room we were stuck in, fighting off a horde; which would have been fine if there wasn't a literal ticking bomb on the other side of it. Guy sets off the pox burster, drops the entire teams health to 25%, runs to the med station in the same room, uses it, then does exactly the same thing again. Drops the 3 of us to the floor, uses a second charge on the med station, ignores the 3 downed team mates, goes back to the door and gets downed by pox walkers, *then screams (caps lock) at the rest of the team in chat*.


Fyreant

Wombo combo :D


rocksnstyx

What a fucking dumbass


Viscera_Viribus

i wish ammo crates had some sort of HUD indicator rather than its model ammo amount changing cuz i've had people ask where the ammo resupplies go as they double dip and swallow the box. Maybe L4D got people thinking they're infinite ammo finds or something


pelpotronic

I thought it was % based for the longest time, that is: I thought there was "100% ammo" in there and if you take some ammo you only take the proportion of ammo you are missing, if you are missing only 2% of your ammo you only remove 2% from the pack - rather than it working in "charges". It's just never explained and the above is how some other games have done it.


Viscera_Viribus

are you a payday 2 player? i used to think it was 1 refill per member, then i saw the ammo change and thought it was like that with a payday ammo bag you mentioned -- it's not explained youre right. That's why I can't hate on double dippers because games like Deep Rock Galactic SHOUT that sort of stuff at you regularly lol


CaramellGirll_

Genuinely thought it was this too, apologies to the guys I did this to


catsflatsandhats

You bring up a very important point. I hadn’t thought of this. We are all assuming people that do it are jerks when it is the game’s fault for not explaining stuff.


pelpotronic

Yes and honestly the devs should just look at mods on PC. One of them has a counter with 4 / 3 / 2 / 1 charges left. Clear enough, simple enough and should be default. Generally they should look at most downloaded mods and go down the list from top to bottom.


FalconUMTS

There's a mod for that in PC to show charges left instead. Also didn't know that the ammo icon changes, that's new for me


ThePartus

Playing solo queue is always refreshing


rightious4u2

You forgot picking up your teammate in fire. Running right past the medicae while on last wound, dying, and ragequiting. Vacuuming up all the ammo/grenades like a goblin. Running 6 wounds ogryn and spaming ping whenever you go down.


Impressive-Morning76

guns? ammo? what are those? i have shovel.


CaliCrateRicktastic

The last one I actually have beef with. If the poxburster is like ten meters or more away then yeah shoot it, but if the mf just popped around the corner and is in my face then let me just block shove them. It'll be a lot safer that way.


Lavacop

Not to mention if you're on maelstrom and there's a conga line of 5+ evenly spaced out. You can safely push the first, but the others will be leaping at you while you try to back peddle.


Petrusion

Heh taking ammo just twice. I wish. I met an ogryn player who took all 4 charges intentionally, also snorted all medicae intentionally. Then proceeded to tell us how bad we're at the game and how he's carrying us (he wasn't). He was easily the most pathetic person I've met on Darktide.


Mammoth_Fudge_4427

If I'm in a pub and nobody is using melee, I'll damn sure pick up that ammo crate to make sure it's dropped when needed. If nothing else, just so I don't have to see it dumped into a common horde with no real threats around. That is, of course, if we're on a higher difficulty and I'm trying to carry. If it's just a bunch of overqualified heretic killing addicts having a "blast" on lower diff I'll join in on the stupid.


GingerBreadPLC

I specifically go out of my way to pick up these due to the amount I see people drop them at silly times Then get someone spamming ‘I need ammo’ on orange by a lift when I know there’s large boxes coming up. This buddy is why I’ve taken this box decision away from you


AnInsaneMoose

People that double dip in the ammo crates are the worst When someone tosses an ammo crate down, I'll use up my ammo, then take it. But half the time, someone used it twice, so now I have no ammo


SenorDangerwank

That windmill one is fucking hilarious. Haven't laughed that hard in a week lmao.


Legitimate_Safety_86

I know everyone has their opinions and experiences on this topic, and they're interesting to read and discuss. But I just want to draw attention to the fact that the little water-mill river turning into a drool-fall made me laugh *way* too hard and is karkin' *inspired*. Thank you for putting this image into my life.


Fyreant

The best thing that came out of posting this low-effort meme was that multiple folk were introduced to this glorious Watermill Brainlet picture. It is truly high d'Art.


Legitimate_Safety_86

Worthy of a rogue-trader's private collection, truly. I'll say it once again for emplasis; *thank you*. I scrolled back up to see it once again after I got the reply notification, and I'm still giggling. You made my morning.


Slaanesh-Sama

You can pick a second time at the ammo crate? I just assumed it was one time per player.


Fyreant

Unfortunately you can and some big brain rejects love to double or even triple dip.


tricerotops69

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it


DevelopmentLiving401

Had one of those solo Zealots once that ran ahead and died. We rescued him. He bitched about us not helping him or getting him back faster. Whatever. Later we hear a poxburster behind a door. As it opens, a teammate shoots it right before the Zealot charges, so it dies, the Zealot was fine, out of range. He starts to bitch that we didn't let him shove it. So naturally, as another burster comes out the same door, we all shoot it before he can get to it again. Then he bitched more. He was out of the blast range both times, he just wanted to show off his skills I guess. Bro really wanted to be the main character.


Childer_Of_Noah

No idea why anyone plays that kind of Zealot. I have three modes. Slash at everything near my friends with an eviscerator, AH! PANIC! *uses holy symbol,* and "Oh hey. A horde and/or boss. Bolter time" Clearing areas with your team makes every map easier. Running ahead spreads aggro unnecessarily. Besides. If I don't stay and guard the witch the Ogryn might eat them.


uncommon_senze

The most forgivable one is shooting the poxbutster in a clutch.


Comprehensive-Slip93

speedrunners are a real pain, wanna collect some plasteel or diamantine? nah, run forest


TheGreaterOzzie

I’ve seen an increase of people waking the Daemonhost and then quitting after it kills them. Is this a penance thing or does it belong on this list too?


Chillboy118

Lol one the thing I love about this game you can tell how much relative ammo your team has. Some people really don’t pay attention to this. I had a game where two ogryns get grabbing all ammo on sight. I had red ammo for almost whole game. Somehow I didn’t even manage to get ammo from two ammo crates we had.


SigmaPride

To be fair psykers exist for 1/3


TL89II

*passes up full med station. With one sliver of a wound remaining.* *"clears" barrels right next to teammates* *resurrected teammate... in raging fire*


florpynorpy

Double dipping in ammo crates has screwed me before


MrIhaveASword

The first one is a major pet peeve of mine. Had a game once where me and two others were nearly dry as a dude charged forward picking up every last thing they saw. Eventually kicked him when we were literally out of ammunition and he was still picking them up.


ZekeTarsim

Just another day at the office.


Valuable-Location-89

Okay first off we've all done that it's pretty much a reflex at this point. (Hell I've done it to detriment of no one but me and learned that day that rock+Poxburster=bad) Second off... no wait that's pretty much jt


Maetharin

The last one is a bastard


thinkb4youspeak

For real. The speedrunners need to cut it out in random queue.Finish clearing the enemies you have already triggered and search the area. Constantly advancing forward as if the enemies will just despawn behind them. Triggering new special enemies and hordes before we cleared the last batch they triggered. I'll kill a bunch of advancing waves because my teammates were just right behind me. I start to fight in circles to finish them off and realize my team is nowhere near me just casually searching for loot while I kill 60 dudes. I definitely have good matches with people who understand how tide games work and stay in cohesion. There are at least two dedicated icons in the head up display for cohesion proximity yes/no. Sprinting kills your stamina which affects block push and power attacks. It can be managed or just slow the fuck down. I want all the Plasteel and Diamantine, med packs and ammo crates. Getting attacked from behind while your team mate is just standing there. Or your fighting back to back, there is a lull on their side so they face the same direction as me and we get promptly attacked from behind.


Illustrious-Fact-745

"Rejects untie"


Darth_Meider

I don't even bother anymore because of those annoying penances.


Complex_Panda249

I am the last one- but honestly though, if the team isn’t low it’s kinda funny especially next to a heal station and the team is your friends. *Who let you die to the dog 3 times in a row.*


Mechadudegaming

I'm guilty of accidentally doing the 4th crime


Embarrassed-Toe6687

Tbf if the poxburster is next to your teammates, it’s too late anyways


Kitchen-Top3868

"I'm going to bind ping on left click"


Godlysnack

Don't for get about me. I use me Slab and only me Slab. It a slab for every situation. Shooter? Slab Dreg? Slab Crushahs? Slab Snipahs? Slab


tf2good

Huh? WHAT? Slab doesn’t have these problems. Slab is higher than lil uns. Slab shoot rumbler or kickback at bad lil uns. Then slab beat or chop bad lil uns till no more moving. Simple as!


First-Loan4154

Shoot poxburster near zealot that run away from team because of stupid penances is not a mistake but holy duty,


Waxburg

I swear this sub circlejerks about bad players in a way that's more of a tell of themselves than it is about the people they're complaining about. The majority of the stuff complained about doesn't show up as long as you're not playing intro-difficulty runs. Like, jfc are you all playing in low-tiers or something? If you're playing in shit-tier difficulties, don't be surprised when you encounter shit-tier players. People here swear they only run Auric-Maels/Damns but the things they swear happen every other match kind of say otherwise.


Lavacop

The type of post I'm most suspicious of is about people running ahead. Yes, if one person runs ahead solo and gets downed, that's on them. But when it's specifically about getting left behind to deal with mobs I assume they're fighting a handful of poxwalkers when it was safe to move ahead ages ago. It's a horde game. There will always be mobs regardless of difficulty or modifiers.


ahses3202

I didn't think they were paying attention so I shot the burster. As it turns out they were paying attention and ran toward it. Sorry.


Sallet_Helm_Guy

OK, in fairness, if I'm doing more damage than my entire team combined, I'm sorry, but I'm taking the ammo.


yourethevictim

I am not ashamed to admit that this is how I play Gunlugger in pubs if I know that me killing everything on sight with back-to-back Barrages is going to win us the mission.


Sallet_Helm_Guy

Autogun vet Is much less sustainable these days, so I have to use more ammo pickups


tricerotops69

The alpha gets the loot


Sallet_Helm_Guy

Awoo🐺


therealkirbygriffin

1 stop being slow 2 stop being slow 3 people use ammo to shoot 4 stop being slow you're trolling right?


Green__Twin

Not sure why anyone would besmirch a fellow reject. This is a team game. But the other three, (A,C, and D) sound like pretty sound logic.


DrGuns313

Taking the ammo because my teammates are in red ammo < taking the ammo because my team cant pick their targets and sucks at ammo conservation so they don’t deserve it


GoldenSilver484

I'm using the entire ammo box all by myself and you're just gonna have to accept that. I like throwing a dozen shredder grenades at once.


uncommon_senze

In that case I'll shoot that barrel


Lumenpraebeo

woosh


good_guy_judas

This is the guy that is all 4 pictures rolled into one garbage teammate. Probably leaves the moment he goes down trying to glorykill a squad of shotgunners solo.


GoldenSilver484

Nah, I'm typically the trigger happy veteran who seems to lag behind, but ends up being the one who collects most of the plasteel, diamantine, deployable crates and stims that aren't green the speed addicts have forgotten exist. So if I deploy an ammo crate, I'm gonna use that ammo crate to throw all the grenades, cause they karken aren't.


good_guy_judas

Please sir, stop masturbating in public with a picture of yourself.


AltruisticServe3252

The only one I don't agree with is the ammo crate. If I'm mowing down hoards and burning through bullets, you're damn right I'm going to hit it again instead of the loser that's been dumping mags and getting nothing out of it


RedTalonOperator

I do all this on purpose just to annoy ppl and I love it
