They Still Haven't Fixed The Mini-Gun issue

[Kampioen]

 

 

 

Its not an issue, its a feature. When you die you'll loose your current weapon clip. Minigun clip holds 9999 bullets.

Yes it sucks but was ment this way. Switch to diff weapon if you think you're about to die

Not always possible, I don't use it often just when i'm bored but it's stupid.

 

Then why don't you loose any other ammo?

 

All my guns hold 9999 rounds but I never loose any ammo from them

Every time you die holding a gun , you lose all the ammo that's in the weapon or clip.

So you don't really notice losing 30 bullets from a rifle or pistol, but since your minigun holds all your ammo at the same time then all ammo is gone.

Kinda happens with the grenade launcher too as that holds 2 clips of 10.

LOL. I get what you're saying but, GRENADE LAUNCHERS IN THIS GAME ARE NOT MAGAZINE/CLIP FED LOL. Thats like saying a revolver holds 2 clips of 6... No. Its has a spinning cylinder with 10 individual chambers, 1 chamber holding 1 round... Geez man, does anyone on this forum know something about guns or is everyone a Call Of Duty know it all that thinks an AK-47 and an AR-15 shoot the same bullet lulz.

 

 

It's better to know little about guns than to know a lot about them. Guns are not exactly the most graceful thing.

[Wiredmike420]

When you own all the weapons, and already have over a certain amount of ammo, you cannot pickup anything in a survival other than health, body armor, money, & snacks.

 

Being a high level has its ups & downs, also $15,000 every time you die holding a mini-gun to refill it, thats just crazy.

 

Ever since I noticed that issue I don't take my mini-gun out in free roam, only in missions, and such where I can guarantee that I won't die and can actually get use out of it.

 

It would be nice if they fixed it.

 

On a side note, anyone notice that if you play a Created DM or TDM, and you use forced weapons & pickups, after the match if you used a RPG, Grenade Launcher, Combat MG, MG, or Advanced rifle/Carbine rifle you lose all your ammo afterwards and have to purchase it for that weapon again.

[Zondar]

Is it possible to pick up someone's minigun ammo after they drop it?

If not the dreaded cash cards conspiracy strikes again...

 

 

@710_holidayz- geez give us a break!

[LBxFinalDeath]

Just tried it...the minigun ammo vanishes once it hits the ground, the other weapons such as assault rifles when you die drop visible magazines that flash a little bit which you can pick back up..also other players can of course.

That sucks, if they're going to take ammo off you, at least make it recoverable.

[SLUGFly]

A convenient and cheap money-sink to sell more Beggar-Cards. Why buy a mini-gun if it costs you 10k every time you die while using it?

[am30]

Are there any missions where the mini-gun is really needed? I mean if I have to take down a chopper I use my combat MG. Like the RPG, it just seems to be a waste of money.

[Ecstasyisfun]

i think the real problem with the minigun is its placement on the weapon wheel, it should be under where the combat MG is as when you are level 120 there are three weapons you want in the slot the minigun is in, but only 1 in the mg one + some people dont like having the mg at all due to it being worse than the assault rifle other than mag size, having the minigun where it is now requires you to go and switch behind cover rather clunkily and out of instinct you will probably be in cover mode which stops you from selecting the minigun, so you have to come out of cover and select it again and this alone stops me wanting to pull it out.

 

the loss of ammo should stay because the minigun is so ridiculously better than every other gun in as long as you arent out of effective gun range (excluding sniper) in a free aim fight

Am i the only one that just solos survival on processed to get my free 9999 mini gun in like 20 mins?

 

It's been patched. You can't pick up ammo from survival anymore if you already got the weapons unlocked.

 

 

No sir, all you do is drop the weapon, grab the weapon pick up then repickup your weapon, it saves me lots of money. I also did this so I wouldn't have to rebuy my Combat Mg and heavy sniper. Saved like 50k.

[Docfrost]

I'm getting to the point where I don't want to even use my mini-gun anymore because it seems like everytime I do use it and I die I loose all of my ammo and since they took away all the money we had it's not that easy refilling your mini-gun ammo anymore.

 

Anybody else fed up?

Every time* and for the love of god LOSE*. IT ONLY HAS ONE "O"! The amount of people that spell lose as "loose" is astonishing.

[Bestin_theWorld]

forreals I hate that but its only when you die by the cops hands that all your ammo gets taken away.

[LBxFinalDeath]

Good God...imagine how rage inducing it'll be getting the LSPD camo for the Minigun?

 

600 player kills..but when you die you lose all your ammo.

It really is a dumb game design.

 

"Congratulations on ranking up! Here's a weapon you're never going to want to actually use! Enjoy!"

Yes it sucks but was ment this way. Switch to diff weapon if you think you're about to die

Only in freemode. You don't drop the clip in deathmatch, including 1 vs 1 in freemode. We also have the option to purchase 100 rounds at a time, so we can assume that would be the correct amount to drop if Rockstar wasn't trying to make us pay 15k for using the weapon. This might be intentional, but it is also bullsh*t.

It's not an issue. You lose a clip of ammo when you die with specials.

Kinda happens with the grenade launcher too as that holds 2 clips of 10.

No. Its has a spinning cylinder with 10 individual chambers, 1 chamber holding 1 round... Geez man, does anyone on this forum know something about guns or is everyone a Call Of Duty know it all that thinks an AK-47 and an AR-15 shoot the same bullet lulz.

 

 

[clammyniplechop]

Yeah every time I die I still lose it all. Pisses me off now that Im not filthy rich and money matters. that thing is costly to use let alone have all the ammo stolen.

[Wiredmike420]

The mini-gun ammo lose is listed for one of their next fixes. Just waiting for the announcement from R*.

 

Also we are do for the new January update this next week.

[jbarb78]

Does anyone submit these issues to R*? Seems like there's a ton of people griping about it, just like the tank insurance deal, if nobody says anything it won't get fixed.

Everyone knows an AK fires 7.62 and an AR is chambered to .223 or 5.56, but they're all the same size as long as the Scavenger perk is equipped

[LBxFinalDeath]

Its not an issue but as Rockstar has proven, if you complain about something enough they will change it to suit what you want.

 

Example: Player Vehicles destroyed to become Bad sport.

 

Need more ppl to counter complain.

 

P.S: If the minigun had a clip/mag/reservoir it would stop shooting after a while and your guy would reload it like he/she does with the other weapons..even the grenade launcher.

 

Every last round is one massive "magazine" or what have you so because Rockstar has it set up that when you die you drop a single magazine/clip you lose all the minigun ammo.

 

It makes sense but it does get annoying, I admit....but its not a glitch.

Am I the only one that feels that at least 75% of the people that complain about this are probably griefers?

Asks if anyone knows anything about guns, continues to refer to them as clips instead of magazines. lol

Edited January 26, 2014 by liquidussnake119

[LBxFinalDeath]

The only thing Rockstar needs to do is make it so you can pick the minigun ammo back up rather than it vanishing once you die like it does at the moment.

 

No one can complain, everyone has a fair chance to get it unless they suck and die constantly and wait til the game itself despawns it.

Yea, we know. It's just an easier way of saying it. We're not all weapons experts like I bet you are.

Just being nitpicky but I think you meant round instead of bullet.

Oh the irony..

[SkylineGTRFreak]

Am I the only one who loses only 500 bullets when getting killed by a player? Seriously, I've NEVER had that happen to me as soon as I acquired it with rank 120
