    Honestly, I've talked about this to staff many times, and they have not given any thought to it. But it's getting very annoying. Okay, so shotgun ammo is much more common than sniper ammo. I've come up with the conclusion that it's probably because Sniper Ammo spawns in groups of 4, and Shotgun Ammo spawns in groups of 6. I don't think you realize how RARE Sniper Ammo is now. You're lucky to get half a stack from killing a full d, and that's not right. I think that it'd be a good idea to spawn Sniper Ammo in groups of 6, so Sniper Ammo can be more common.

    I'm assuming that you are referring to Zones as "groups".
    Sniper ammo is supposed to be less common, Snipers do more damage so it would make sense that it's less common than your other ammo.
    Sniper ammo isn't going to become more common, due to the shear power Snipers are capable of. You're not suppose to waste an entire clip in combos man, save the bullets!

    No, when you loot you get sniper ammo in groups of 4. As in, you only get 4 at a time. Shotgun, when you loot shotgun ammo, you get 6 shotgun shots.

    Also, you left out the fact that the only way to do well in WarZ, IS to combo. Combo'ing is the norm for WarZ now, so you're using the same amount of shots for each weapon most times.

    Sniper ammo isn't supposed to be higher though, it's meant to stay at a certain amount.
    I know combo'ing is a must in WarZ but what I'm saying is don't always use Sniper shots in very open areas where the shots are more likely to miss.
    Sniper ammo may be uncommon but most like they won't increase the spawn chance and or amount of them in chests.

    I agree with this idea completely. I think the rarity of ammo should be balanced or at least somewhat more balanced that it is currently. Sniper ammo either should come in sets of 6 or should just be changed to find more often in chests. There are several times where I have 2-3 stacks of shotgun and less and 20 sniper ammo. Great idea Fenguin.

    I'd like that it sticks to 4 sniper ammo, but it couls be less rare to find in my opinion.

    It's weird to only average 10-30 sniper ammo on every server, but with growing amounts of teammates and combos that require shooting a Barrett twice per combo, it's to be expected. As Piky said, the only real way to conserve ammo is to not use it in wide open spaces, and only when the shot is sure to hit.

    I do agree with you, but taking it from a different perspective, some other people might think the opposite.

    I can say this because so many players complain about "Barret one-shots". All you basically have to do is hold down right-click to a full iron and hope for the best. It's basically a waste of bullets and spamming it. For shotguns and autos, you use a ton of ammo and they don't do as much damage. Shotgun may do damage, but close-up only it can be lethal, and sometimes not even kill. Snipers are generally the most dangerous of combos, meaning in order to balance things you would have to limit the ammo so players are less tempted to spam them.

    Well, with the camping spots all being ruined by either
    1. Holes in them, or
    2. Grapples being found to rush things, you can't really find a good enclosed fight anymore. Most fights are out in the open, or end up being there from what I've seen.

    There's multiple buildings to fight in. Fighting on WarZ isn't only in the open and camping in a small enclosed area.

    I agree with you many times when I'm alive and I check my inventory I see I have a ratio of 1:3 1 being sniper ammo and 3 being shotgun ammo. Though it is more rare because it is more useful for dealing more damage it is challenging when you are fighting and have a lot of shotgun ammo but no sniper removing your ability to combo. I believe they should higher the sniper ammo spawn amount to 6 if not 5.

    Why don't we all just start aimboting? Would save a lot of sniper ammo since we WOULDENT miss.

    I disagree. Snipers are some of the most powerful weapons. Sure, you could say that ammo is extremely rare. I believe that with the power of Snipers, it is important to keep ammunition rare, as Snipers are powerful enough. It also tests accuracy quite well.

    I don't think that is fair because of how powerful snipers are, like @RyanO2 said.
