Consumable -> Orange Mod exploit/bug

Recommended Posts

If you use a consumable ammobox to change your orange mod, as an example, field supplier to spotter, you do not have a cooldown as opposed to if you changed it with your own ammobox, it would change with a cooldown.

 

How it should work:

Use ammobox

Change orange mod

Be put on normal cooldown.

 

How it currently works:

Use consumable ammobox

Change orange mod

Immediately usable provided you didn't just use its cooldown.

 

 

As an example, you can drop your yellow ammobox, change from orange field supplier to spotter, and instantly be able to spot people. If you used your orange field supplier to swap to spotter, it'd have a cooldown on swap.

It's not a glitch/bug exploit, this is because using the ammo box, is using the modification, and causing a  general "orange mod" cooldown on use. A consumable ammo box, functions similar to using a friends ammobox/joker ammo/mail zone, as you do not use the orange mod to access it so also have no cooldown. However consumables have their own timer I believe as well, albeit lower.

 

Now lets say you used spotter, used the consumable to switch to ammo box for example, now you have a cooldown for the orange mod. Why? Because you used an orange mod before switching.

In theory, You could use radar jammer > Deploy a box and get jammer available again in 40 seconds and use it again. (rinse and repeat)

I'm unsure of what the "bug/exploit" is here.

 

Yellow (Consumable) mods have a completely separate cooldown timer to Orange (Activation) mods.

Changing an Orange mod from a dropped Ammo Box consumable is no different than changing it at a Joker Ammunition Vending Machine, Vehicle Spawner, Car Resupply or Mailbox.

 

Currently, if you use your Orange mod, you will have to wait for that mods specific cooldown time to expire before being able to use it again. Regardless of if you change to a different Orange mod after.

The same thing applies for the Yellow mods. Each have their own cooldown time period that you have to wait for, even if changed after use.

 

The cooldown time from Yellow mods do not affect the cooldown time on Orange mods, and vice versa.
