(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I use ACR with extended Mags, one thing on other version when you went to extended mags you got your ammo doubled. but with ACR which is my only weapon that I have extended mags unlocked my ammo stays the same 90 rounds but instead split between 2 mags instead of 3. Is this because of the scavenger pro perk? or a glitch?

Also I notice before either 1.05 or 1.06 update that while using my ACR I could Die and return to the spot I die and find my ACR and not be able to pick up the ammo. This has seemed to be fixed to a degree after one of the last 2 updates. I can at times pick up my ammo but I think it is only certain maps. and it may of been this way all along and i attributed it to the updates. I know this is not widespread to all guns as other times when I used my p90 akimbo I could pickup my "death ammo". I only play that on Scrap Yard. I know that on Sub Base is where I confirmed that finding my or others death ACR I could not pickup ammo from it and then in Estate and derail is where after updates (whether that mattered or not) is where I can pick up my death ammo. I also noticed that there have been times when i have died and been able to return to the spot of death or see someone die and could not find their gun. I thought that if the death was explosion related maybe the guns would be destroyed but I can't peg this down as i have seen sniper kills and could not locate a dropped weapon.

Also in the other CODs if I had a gun say a Thompson with silencer and i came across another Thompson that had extended mags, I could not pick up the ammo, But if I switched to my secondary and picked up the Thompson with extended mag then dropped it again for my original secondary I got the ammo load. In the first Modern warfare there was also 2 guns that shared the same ammo and I had a class setup with both guns and got a double ammo load that was usable on both guns. and the drop secondary tricked worked for that too If I had one gun make and came across the other make with same ammo I dropped secondary and then re picked up original secondary and ammo would stay with me. Modern warfare 2 just does not seem to follow the old rules and are they just that old rules or bugs?


What has anyone else seen when it comes to picking up guns, extended Mags, and ammo? It seems either by design or by a bug MW2 does not follow the same conventions that the last 2 COD4 or 5 followed when it came to this stuff.

maybe its because you have scavenger on, and you will already have more ammo,

I don't have scavenger (Pro) on on my ACS. I use it on my AK-47 though. I was speculating that unlike in the past COD games when you got extended magazines your ammo count doubles but in MW2 it does not double and was speculating that the reason so was that they added the perk Scavenger (pro) in mw2 and they want you to use that for more ammo not the extended mags they just allow you to change mags less.

So MW1
Extended Magazines got you less change out of Mags and your ammo doubled.
MW2 Assault rifles data.
Extended magazines got you less change out but your ammo count stayed the same.
add Scavenger Pro Your ammo Count doubles and with extended magazines you even get an extra 15 rounds.

This breakdown makes no sense.
ACS
Regular Mags you get 3 30 rounders for 90 rounds,
Extended mags you get 2 45 rounders for 90 rounds.
with Scavenger pro on.
Regular mags 7 30 round magazines for 210 rounds
Extended Mags 5 45 round magazines for 225 rounds

AK-47 limited info I have right now while typing.
Scavenger Pro
Regular mags 7 30 round magazines for 210 rounds

Well, when you die, the gun will sometimes roll away from your body so you just have to look for it. When you find it, just move back and forth over the gun and you will eventualy pick the ammo up.

REP+ if i helped

Extended mag doesnt give you more ammo, thats scavenger pro. Like pathetic bowler said guns have physics now so theyll move when you die sometimes, but shouldnt be enough to not finsd the gun. Unless it dissaapears which seems to happen more in MW2 than other CoDs.

This guy knows the score. Extended mags doesn't give more ammo, just splits the ammo into bigger magazines so you have to reload less.

Exactly what the above said. Extended mags gets the same amount of ammo but a bigger clip,so more bullets are in 1 clip,but the ammo is just the same as having a silencer on the gun. Scavenger gives more ammo. Scavenger AND extended mags will give a larger clip AND extra ammo.
