Raving's seems to lack a lot of ammo

Post by Trafalgar »

Raving's weapon shop seems to lack a lot of ammo - for example, the HE ammo for the assault rifle, the .45 ammo for your dual pistols, ordinary darts, flare darts, sabot, GEP rockets, (EMP chargers can perhaps be excused, but oh how I would like more, given that I used almost all of mine up on a WorldCorp milbot that tried to assassinate me right after I left the PartyZone), the spiderbot ammo for a particular assault rifle (which is perhaps excusable), plasma clips, and perhaps more.

As designed.

In the weapon shop, you can buy the most common ammo. The rest, you'll have to find on your own.

I'd appreciate being able to waste an obscene amount of money in order to get the rarer ammos. Maybe put a cache in one of the empty weapon containers in the middle of the shop, have "common ammo set" "uncommon ammo set" and "rare ammo set" boxes :P

Sorry, not going to happen. The rare ammo is rare for a reason.

They have spreadsheets for ammo quantities, and everything.

Fucking spreadsheets.

And yet it seems we were a bit too cheap with the multitools and lockpicks, eh? At least we give a lot fewer of them than DX did.

I think you should at least add the .45 ammo to the store, I parked my dual pistols because I ran out of ammo for them

If it's for game balance reasons, that seems reasonable to me, but it seems odd that a store could get away with selling guns (the plasma rifle and the GEP gun) without selling ammo for them.

Not that I can afford to buy either one. I spent my money on the mini-crossbow and that was basically it. :P

We've discussed it and decided to do so.
