Pistol Flamethrower does not restock ammo if there is some still remaining

Product: Battlefield V
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 4
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Conquest
Please select your region North America
On which server did this happen?
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 04.06.20
Summarize your bug For the pistol flamethrower, is it intentional that the ammo for it refills only if it's completely dry? Even if I have just 1 "round" for the pistol flamethrower left, refilling at ammo crates and stations do not restock it.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Leave at least 1 "round" in the pistol flamethrower, then restock ammo at a crate or station.
What happens when the bug occurs? Ammo for the pistol flamethrower will not refill.
What should be happening instead? Ammo for the pistol flamethrower should be refilled to max.

  • @UNIT0918 I figure that since it's a disposable pistol flamethrower, the fuel canister that comes with it would have to be all or nothing.

    e.g. if you use 10/25 fuel, you have 15/25 fuel remaining. When you go to the resupply station, it wouldn't make sense to only get a 10/25 fuel canister - only a full tank. 

    Since Assaults are limited to only 1 fuel canister max (the one that comes with the disposable pistol flamethrower), it must be this way. That's my take on it at least.

    I think Sterling is giving the correct answer here.. As you are limited to 1 gadget I think its working as intended.  This is the first gadget to only be able to carry 1 weapon with more than 1 shot. Previous gadgets like this all had 1 shot per weapon ie the lunge mine.  If we compare it to the lunge mine its working exactly the same in that you cant get more until all "shots" are used except its got 25 'shots' in it instead of 1

  • The pistol flamethrower does not reload. Because it is disposable, it only holds a certain amount of fuel/ammo and it doesn’t get restocked.

    Good thoughts on it.  Guess if I read you all must be intended indeed.

    It could use a buff, at this point it is no more than a meme.
