Vintage Heat Sink

Hey folks,

There's a little tidbit of info I wanted to share that twitter didn't seem like the right medium for, so I thought I'd give it to y'all here.

By default, most guns in the game (the Milky Way ones, at least) work via disposable thermal clips, like in ME2 and 3. This is the "default user experience" for most guns in MEA.

However! Since we know some of you prefer the old-school approach, we have something called the Vintage Heat Sink. This is a piece of ME1-era tech that you can use when crafting a weapon to make it work more like the guns in ME1 did, with endless ammo but an overheat mechanic, rather than using disposable thermal clips as "ammo." So if you want your Avenger or Carnifex (or whatever) to behave ME1-style, that's entirely possible.

Anyway, I thought some of you might appreciate that.

My gf was so shocked when I was running through Feros and just moving down Creepers as they came up to me.  Still, though, I wonder how they will do it with the ME 1 experienc,e or the ME 3 experience.  The ME 1 experience made it so your weapons were, under certain circumstances, basically firing plastic bullets.  The enemies health would not go down no matter how much you shot them.  But in the ME 3 experience the Lancer pretty much tore through all the things on Insanity (from what I remember). 

This is great news!

Now I wonder how this interacts with the special ammo mechanic, which is said to affect your next three magazines (or clips).

Will it work for as many rounds as three magazines would contain?
