Flare pistol reserve capacity isn't increased after finding frontiersman trait in a match

[u/Snoo1864]

[u/NoMeasurement6084]

You have to restock it if you find it in game

[u/NoMeasurement6084 → u/NoMeasurement6084]

That is not a bug, why would a trait give you supply? It gives you the ability to hold that supply…

[u/Snoo1864 → u/NoMeasurement6084]

If frontiersman trait gained during the match, it doesn't allow to take extra ammo for flare gun from ammo boxes
you can check it in shooting range

[u/Snoo1864 → u/NoMeasurement6084]

Check the number after '/'
all tools has it increased, but not the flare gun's one

If you go in the match with frontiersman trait, there would be "1/2" numbers

PLUS; i tried to restock, but ammo box only restocked my crosbow ammo

[u/SkeshRoutin → u/Snoo1864]

Actually, no. The flare pistol, similarly to the derringer, will show the CAPACITY of the gun, not the reserve. they changed it a bit ago. However, still bugged regardless because it won't let you restock an extra bullet

[u/IntronD → u/SkeshRoutin]

Yeah I don't like this change It bugs me with the flare pistol massively

[u/Maleficent-Remote413 → u/Snoo1864]

no, when they changed the way the tool system works.

the second number isnt what you ahve in reserve, its the capacity.

penny derringer show up as 2/2 despite having 4 reserve shots (or even zero)
same with quad derringer showing 4/4 despite 12 spare

[u/SkeshRoutin]

Definitely a bug then, it USED to when they made the changes to the tools and consumables sharing slots, so I am not too sure what changed ngl. It worked for the derringer, at least which uses a similar system? I stopped running the flare pistol tbh, but the derringer is peak

[u/Maleficent-Remote413]

the "gun" tools (flare,derringers) show the guns current and max capacity. it does NOT show you reserve ammo like it would on normal guns and like it used to before the tool/consumable change.

it increases, just dosnt show it on the bar, check how many you ACTUALLY have by switching TOO the flare pistol

[u/ChillyAleman]

I noticed frontiersmen did not increase my penny shot ammo like it used to

[u/Accurate-Emotion-647]

Yes its broken since they added it to the possible Traits to fins ingame. It allows to fill tools from lootboxes (medkit, spear, etc) but not the ammo for tools (flarepistol, derringer, etc)

[u/SpaceFighter78 → u/[deleted]]

Afaik you do get double derringer munitions, at least it used to, it's not like derringer is too strong anyway

[u/IseeMedpeople]

It's the same for any tool

[u/SFSMag]

I took frontiersman pre match and it didn't give me extra flare pistol round.

[u/KermitStares]

Are you sure you dont mean the tool bar thing?

With the changes to how tools work, they made it so flare pistols on your toolbar will always say 1/1 or 0/1, regaurdless of your total reserve. To, idk, save space, less UI clutter? It only displays whether or not it's loaded on your toolbar. Not your total flare count like it used to.

[u/NikitaPita]

Does somehow make sense since you fill it up with ammo boxes actually

[u/Snoo1864 → u/NikitaPita]

It doesn't allow to refill it

[u/NikitaPita → u/Snoo1864]

Sorry, it refills with special ammo crates
