Ammo drop pickups not registering

terrible spammer

Since build 255 ammo packs started being buggy. Sometimes my clips remain empty even when I pick up an ammo pack (it's not a case of someone other picking it up, it also happens when I'm alone). One time the comm dropped multiple ammo packs and I "ate" them all to no effect. I can't reproduce this bug reliably, but it does tend to persist during the game, even across respawns.
I can still resupply at the armory. Anyone else having this problem?

Can't say I've seen this, modded server?

If you run over them with your pistol out it doesn't give you LMG ammo - it's ammo for the gun you have in hand at the time (Im pretty certain?). Not sure if that's what you're getting at though.

I'm pretty sure picking ammo when holding a pistol gives you LMG ammo.
No mods were active that I know of. I should pay more attention next time.

EDIT: Just checked, you are right, I need to hold the LMG in hand to get ammo. I've been playing for a hundred hours and did not notice this? :< Was it always this way?

Lmao, yes it was. You only get the ammo for the gun you're holding, which is why I always ask the comm not to drop it right on me, so I can get the ammo for the gun I want.
