Extra Lead

Extra Lead
Enforcer: Ammo Specialist Tier 3
Basic (3 pt): You can now place 2 ammo bags instead of just one.
Ace (6 pt): Each ammo bag contains 50% more ammunition.

Mechanics[]

Without the aced version of this skill, basic Ammo Bags offer 400% ammunition. This means that a player will be able to fill up one weapon from zero ammo to full, four times. The aced version of this skill has a potentially misleading description, as the 50% increased ammunition is applied multiplicatively to the total percentage refilled. This means that the total ammunition per bag is now 600%, which equates to six complete ammo refills for one weapon. Between both bags, there is a total of 1200% ammunition if this skill is aced.

When interacted with, only the percentage of ammunition that is required to refill the weapon is subtracted from the total remaining. If a weapon has nearly full ammo, it will subtract a very small amount from the Ammo Bag. If there is not enough ammo remaining in the bag to fill both the primary and secondary weapon, the secondary weapon takes priority. [1]

Strategy[]

This skill is a welcome addition to any team, much in the same way that Combat Doctor from Mastermind is useful. On virtually any loud heist, ammunition will be required to more effectively fight law enforcers. Players with the OVE9000 may benefit from this skill on heists where a large number of deposit boxes must be opened, such as Bank Heist, GO Bank, Transport, and Big Bank.

Although players will likely not need the entire contents of the ammo bag for the OVE9000, investing in this skill will allow players to have spare ammo left over so that other players in your team may benefit from it.

Ammo Bags (and in turn this skill) are less useful on weapons that have low total ammo but restore a larger percentage of their total ammo per box, such as sniper rifles with 40 total ammo and grenade launchers with 6 total ammo. Using Ammo Bags with such weapons can result in less ammo for teammates who have weapons that can make more efficient use of Ammo Bags, such as DMRs.

Trivia[]

  • The icon for this skill is identical to the Combat Doctor icon, but with Ammo Bag symbols in place of the Doctor Bag symbols.
  • Extra Lead is one of the several pre-Update #100 skills to be unchanged in the update beyond name changes, tier, skill point, and skill tree changes, and slight mechanic changes.
