Fenris_Wolf Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Same reason I won't include such a feature in ORGM. Guns simply don't have a ammo counter on them. Some high capacity rifle magazines may include a transparent strip on the side allowing you to get a approximation of how many remain, but not on older ones, and once theres only a few left in the mag you can no longer see (the transparent strip is hidden by the magazine well). Pistol magazines often have small holes in the back behind where each bullet sits allowing you to see how many are in there, but you need to eject the magazine to actually see. For guns that use magazine tubes (pump action shotguns, some bolt actions, lever actions etc) no such feature exists. Most guns don't even have a loaded chamber indicator telling you if theres something in the chamber. Some modern ones do but it basically just shows you theres something in the chamber...it could be a live round or a spent casing. The fact you can hold the mouse over the gun in inventory and see the ammo count + loaded chamber is already a realism break.

Icy Motto Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I get that you want it but I prefer this to never be implement as a feature. It's ok the way it is already, and its already good enough as you can hover over the weapon to see the ammo count.... Fenris_Wolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second this...mostly because I'd have to take the time to mod such a feature out. Icy Motto and trombonaught 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laird Thaddeus Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Please never do this. part of the fun is counting off the rounds when your surrounded and just hoping you didnt miss count. that click as you run out of ammo you go to reload and find its still in the box so you have to run or switch to old trusty. trombonaught 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DistinguishedGentlemen Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I think it's completely fair to want to have the ability to count ammunition for your firearms. However, respecting those that prefer to go on without such a feature I think it should be a mod rather than something incorporated into the vanilla game. trombonaught 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, but just saying "unrealistic" is a really bad argument,and makes you come off as a little childish. Zomboid is not a realistic game in any capacity, and if we removed everything unrealistic there would be very little game left. Please give him actual gameplay reasons.

You're intended to keep an active count on your ammo yourself, the HUD is designed to be a stopgap to give you only the most necessary information that you couldn't get otherwise. You can hover over your weapon in the hotbar or in your equip slots to see how much ammo it has pretty easily. If you really want, you can download a plethora of mods that add exactly what you want. Zomboid is designed to be a very modular experience, so tailor it to how you want to play it. I did the same thing when the buggy durability indicator was removed, immediately went and got a mod that added a better one than the original, since I felt it was important enough to be on the HUD. I highly doubt they'll add an ammo counter, since they're adament against a weapon durability indicator.

trombonaught Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 This game is less about helping you keep track of ammo, and more about laughing at you when you hear an unexpected "click" because you counted wrong. 100% a function like this is more a mod than a vanilla feature.

getstoopid Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I actually use a mod for durability and ammo status but I prefer it to be a mod and not vanilla because I can totally see why someone wouldn't want this. It admittedly does impact immersion negatively. trombonaught 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
