Gameplay Updates

• Existing ammo is now correctly utilised by some Weapon Families. As a result some of your weapons will once again use the ammo you already had, however please be aware that some of your weapons will need a new type of ammo. More ammo types are available to ensure damage is more refined between the behaviours of Weapon Families.
• You can find all new ammo types for your weapons on the same vendors. If you cannot find the ammo you require for your weapon, please let us know ASAP. Weapon Refresh terminals still exist across different testing areas of Vedeena to help you quickly reload.
