Summarize your bug There seems to be some bug with ammo boxes resupplying soldiers even though a server has unlimited ammo set. This bug seems to be abused for XP farming right now.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I'm not 100% sure how to reproduce this exactly. I guess: * Set ammo to unlimited. * Equip any weapon and shoot while being near an ammo box.
What happens when the bug occurs? Guns shoot and "expend" ammo, but since ammo is unlimited, they don't have to reload. However, ammo boxes still award XP to whoever placed them.
What should be happening instead? Ammo boxes shouldn't award resupply XP if no bullets were actually resupplied.
Here's a quick clip I've taken as I only read "2,000,000XP/hour" on server name and was really curious what they came up with:
As you can observe, as soon as I drop an ammo box nearby, XP starts to pop up, despite nobody really expending any ammo.
