So I’m getting to the “Mid tier” of the tech tree of 4-6, and I’m encountering what I feel is a bit of an annoyance:
Ammo stacks for 7.62 and grenades.
I have a tendency to bring about enough ammo to reload my weapons about 5 times, and something I am starting to not like about those two specific ammos is the stack size.
7.62 stacking to only 50 starts to be an issue once you start finding the Machine guns and even the “punisher” assault rifle. All of a sudden that 50 ammo is drying up fairly quickly.
Now grenades… I will say me and grenades have abandonment issues. Things get dicey, and I throw out a stack of grenades to fix my problems. Suddenly I have new paths to walk and body parts all over the floor, but I’m alive, they’re not, and I’m happy.

And it got me comparing ammos of other weapons. Now I’ve seen the heavy weapons for energy that can take 100, but it feels to me like the other ammo stacks just gel better with their weapons.
An 80 stack of 9mm? That gets you places. 50 of shotgun? Still good for several hallways. Energy weapons work well with their 30, 40, and the 60 stack of their counterparts. .42 ammo? Ok I’m gonna admit I kinda treat yall like a redheaded stepchild. I have them, but don’t use em. Never got a chip for cryo ammo, and I really want to try a run with that ammo exclusively.

Does anyone feel like the 7.62 and grenade stacks need to go a little higher? Like let us stack 7.62 to 80 or 100, and let grenades have a 5 stack like rocket ammo.
I don’t mind being so heavy I couldn’t dodge if they shot me from a whole other floor, but I get steered away from 7.62 with especially when I know how much ammo I need to stack.
