Mass Effect 2 No Ammo Drops In Loyalty Side Missions and Some DLC Content

I've been playing through Mass Effect 2 on insanity difficulty since level 1. I need a lot of ammo with so many waves of enemies and how much damage they can soak. There were many areas that I completely ran out of ammo playing as an infiltrator and had to resort to incinerate spam. I noticed that in many squad loyalty missions there is zero ammo to pick up. Also, the entire Shadow Broker DLC was a complete nightmare for this, as well as Kasumi's heist. There wasn't any ammo to be found in the last area in the vault. I don't know if this is how it was in the original, but ammo drop availability needs to be looked at across the board to make sure they are available and dropping in all missions properly.

EDIT: PC Version

  • I had an opposite problem with my Infiltrator playing on PC. Loyalty missions were the only ones that had enough ammo drops, during most of other missions ammo drops were so scarce that had to rely on powers and squadmates (and hide in the meantime). Many times moved from one location with enemies to another with no ammo at all and frantically searched for even one ammo drop under tactical cloak. I guess it is alright for Insane difficulty (the name says it all))) but just a bit too much for Veteran.

  • @mrp25 I've been struggling with these waves for around an hour. I'm a soldier class, so my life is very difficult....not even a single thermal clip but I start off with 20 rounds
  • @delena665 the hordes of waves are obnoxious. It's not even challenging because I get rushed Everytime and my swuadmates die so fast because they refuse to listen. Half the time I sit behind a wall spamming my loaded shot...
  • I was messing around with ME3 the other day and didn't get a single ammo drop during the first mission (Mars).

    None of the Cerberus goons dropped ammo in any fight throughout the whole level.

    Now I'm not even sure ammo is supposed to drop in ME3? I can't actually remember how it was in the original.

  • Yes it is definitely and issue, Ive beaten all the games on insanity and come back to do it every once and awhile and this time the lack of ammo drops entirely was just so frustrating I had to search it up and see but I find a lot of people saying its intended and stuff and it is clearly not imo, I really notice it in loyalty missions now you say it but it does happen in a few others . The only fix I found is just to go in loads and restart mission entirely its really frustrating for insanity and I only really play on insanity but havent noticed it on another difficulty but you see ammo drops right away after restarting its very obvious something wasnt working and sometimes theres ammo laying around of heavy ammo which refills all your basic ammo too but a lot of the time theres none and you have to rely on ammo drops its even worse if you only use pistols and smgs because you go through so much more, Im suprised that Its hard to find more people talking about issues like this but I wanted to say youre right
