If they are going to reduce the ammo count as they have, then they should at least restore the 40mm HE to its previous strength. Right now it's essentially useless. I used to use UBGLs all the time before this change and regularly got kills with the HE past cover, which is its entire purpose. Now you have to pretty much land a direct hit on someone to even inflict any meaningful damage on them, in which case 90% of the time you are better off just shooting them instead. I can occasionally still get kills with the LVG, but it feels like it was nerfed somehow too, at least not as much as the HE.
Honestly such a bizarre decision. UBGLs weren't even bad or disruptive before the nerfs. I rarely saw many people using them, I'd regularly be the only person in the whole server using one as far as I could tell. They aren't exactly easy to use and have significant opportunity cost on top of that so it makes sense that many players simply wouldn't use them at all (less reason to use them now). Now you just have to be support and drop ammo crates for yourself to reload, which makes the nerfs even more stupid since nothing really changed except needing a pocket ammo resupply to drag around with you.

Seriously...
What the heck we need to do in order to get an official reply by the DICE staff on this subject?
Do we need to perform a Summoning Ritual? To offer a Sacrifice of Blood and Cash?

Enough pitchforks always works
But imo the whole underbarrel being basically available on almost all weapons was a mistake anyway so is the implementation of the plus system. Especially considering you can throw like 3 types of underbarrels onto your weapon which is dumb as hell, the plus system isn't very well thought out to begin with with the ammo types plus the underbarrel issue. While the SCAR has a underbarrel as default it all makes zero sense.
I never got used to using them I find it very finicky for my playstyle and often the game gets stuck in the wrong mode and I cannot fire my weapon doesn't swap properly. So yeah never touched these things myself.
Think they should simply allow just 1 singular underbarrel in the plus system at a time if they up the ammo count again.
- 2 years ago@doubleome huh? It makes perfect sense to have multiple underbarrel ammo types. They are all a standard size round, you would put a single underbarrel launcher on your gun in reality and you can fire all types of 40mm ammo without having to change anything. Honestly it should even be like that in the game, equip the UBGL and then have a fire mode selector to choose what 40mm type you want, so you don't have to eat up your other attachment slots just to have a different ammo type.
You are right about them being clunky to use, I think they messed something up in this season because they did not used to be so unreliable to switch between your gun and UBGL. There is also a bug now with EMP grenades that prevents you from changing fire modes off of the UBGL, so you have to switch to your secondary weapon then back to the rifle to be able to use it normally.
