Hmm.............. so.............. the infamous ammo glitch and the "double damage" exploit.

It's definitely cheating, but seriously, who cares?

I'm still punching shit in the face either way, but most guns could use a buff like this to make them serviceable.

Which doesn't seem to be intended, same for having 2 ammo consumables causing the game to double the damage.

Might not exactly be cheating but knowingly using a bug to your advantage is the literal definition of an exploit, no matter how you spin it.

Tweeted to Billy Buskell about it, will let you know if he responds.

Says who? I want two types of ammo boosters. So I put them on. Who are you to tell me I should only have one type. I'm a fire and ice kind of guy. Maybe its a glitch that it unequips the first booster when you put a similar second one on and bioware will fix that in a future update? That why my ultrarares I spent so much money on suck, because I should be running two boosters and the slots are glitches right now.

What an exploit is is me paying money for premium packs and then getting kicked and losing my consumables once every 6 games. That is an exploit, a glitch bioware is using to steal my money. They can ban themselves.

My personal opinion is that the equipment screen is broken, because it shows only one ammo type at a time, when obviously you can equip two. Prove me wrong!

The perception is likely that a ban wave would be treated the same way as the beta test - more effort than it's worth.

Working as intended.
😂

Bioware made it very clear during DAMP they have no intention of policing their game for exploits / clever use of game mechanics / PC hacks.

If you want to use this, have at it. Don't feel guilty or worry.

If using this glitch is what it takes to make functionally useless weapons hurt, then I'm all for it. Bioware don't give a damn about balance, why should I?

edit: And if I do get banned? So what? Between how this MP and DAMP's functions, it's tantamount to disrespect.

Lol @ people trying to justify cheating. Just own it if you choose to go down this road.

Because guns seem to be slightly underpowered without this glitch and presumably way overpowered with it. 

So I am going to just avoid boosters and this issue (and I will also avoid Kett, since you need good ranged guns to deal with Kett).

Is it cheating? Is it an exploit?

If y'all wanna massage each others' grundles/taints/gooch-meat with about as pointless an exercise in language-gaming as I can imagine, well, knock yourselves out.

My experience tells me this: even playing 90% gold games and thus receiving the highest available payouts, I'm already rationing elemental ammo. I rarely have more than 6 or 7 in reserve and I spend credits on Supply Packs quite liberally. Elemental ammo just doesn't drop (for me) fast enough and in Golds it often makes the difference between a fun match and a dreary slog on a number of kits (I'm looking at you HSol/Revenant). I've never felt like I had enough elemental ammo that I'd be interested in using them twice as fast. It seems to me that if I was trying to use this "cheat/exploit" as a way to "farm credits" I would end up spending less on UR-gambling than I do now -- IOW, I'd have to spend a great deal more of those earned credits chasing after a cache of ammo boosters and thus have a lot less to spend on 50k/100k packs (which only sometimes contain one ammo booster).

Perhaps others are sitting on lots of ammo boosters -- for whatever reason. I know I'm not. If this were a sustainable practice, perhaps I'd find it more compelling. As it stands, though, it seems to me a self-terminating condition; I'd run out of elemental ammo long before It became profitable. So, perhaps I'll give it a try...y'know, for the lulz and whatnot...but I'll likely go on hoarding my ammo boosters for regular, mundane, single-boost situations.
