Issue with ammo drops
I've got an issue with the ammo drop rates in Mass Effect 2 and 3. It started on 2, where enemies would just randomly stop dropping ammo. As irritating as this was, it could be fixed by reloading a ...
@sweetpoison0011 No, it was on normal difficulty.
I did a quick run through the level again last night (normal again), and I did get a few ammo drops. Not very many, and more may have de-spawned before I noticed them, but there at least were some. I'm not sure if the patch changed it or if it's just wonky. I honestly don't remember how ammo behaved in the original game, but it didn't feel right at all.
I know there are other physics bugs (with the enemies getting stuck on the ground—that one hasn't been fixed), which is what made me think that could be breaking it (playing as an adept).
Well you're definitely right about the increased drop rate on lower difficulties. I put it on narrative difficulty and enemies were dropping clips all over the place.
I've started getting the odd dropped clip on insanity too though. Don't know if I was just missing the dropped clips, getting unlucky or it was an issue with the Mars mission on my game. Who knows.
