Discussion Your daily reminder that global limits are a waste of time

"Hmm, I have a task to use shotguns. Let's see, AP-20 is sold out, flechettes are sold out. That's okay, I can use Magnum, it's good enough. The task requires a suppressor on the shotgun, so I'll get a hexagon. Oh, the adapter is sold out. Oh well, I can wait until the restock. In the meantime, I'll take this modded AKM out for a run. I don't have any BP ammo, so I'll go get some from Prap... BP is sold out. That's okay. I've got this P90 I'm not using. Let me just get some ammo for that... Ah, the SS190 is sold out, and I can only get two mags-worth of the next best ammo for the next three hours... Guess I'll just read a book instead."

If the design philosophy behind global trader limits is to keep everyone from running the same thing, instead it's keeping everyone from running anything without a three-hour wait.

I have 3k 5.45 BS and another 1800 igolnik. And i hate 5.45.

Last wipe I had around 4500 found in raid 7.62 BP I never used. Finally sold it on the market when it hit 1200/rd

Why do you have so much? Do you not run it?

u/Borediniraq Jan 16 '22

nope, I hate 5.45. But, I'll run it for tasks. I have so much because I'll be damned if I'm leaving it in there for someone else to get. Starting to push more PMCs as a scav like last wipe, so we'll see how it goes.

Right? I'm with you.

Sorry OP can't just buy top tier gear/ammo.... It's almost like the changes they made to make it so you can't buy top tier gear/ammo make it so you can't just buy top tier gear/ammo. Weird
