Are there plans for different ammunition types for use in a single weapon, e.g. armour piercing or soft-point ballistic rounds to be shot from a P4-AR, perhaps by swapping magazines?asked by sladuog

Yeah, I can touch on this a little bit. And this is very much not set in stone, but it's an idea that we've had for quite some time and that we do want to do. So this would be for ballistic ammunition rather than energy ammunition. Internally, we've been calling it smart ammo. So it's a system we've planned for a while, and it might only be on certain weapons as well. So it's ballistic, certain weapons only, and it would also require an underbarrel attachment on your gun. But effectively, what it does... We've not discussed this through with the writing team, so we're going to work out how this actually works physically with the bullets and how it interacts with the actual underbarrel attachment. But it almost programs the bullets as they leave the barrel. So you might fit your smart ammo attachment and say, I want standard ballistic rounds, I want incendiary rounds, and I want high-explosive rounds. And what you'll be able to do in the field is switch between whichever ammunition you want, and essentially, when it hits the target, it will have the behavior that you've set on that. So we've always liked to think of it as the Judge Dredd gun, the hot shot. I mean, it's as cool as anything, that thing. There's also no reason, when we actually bring in things like mag stripping and refill, why we can't have non-smart ammo options here as well. So if we want to add 7mm high-explosive rounds to the game, if you buy a load of that, put it in your bag, and your mags are full of standard ammunition, as long as you can take the time to strip your magazines and refill them, there's no reason why we can't do something like that either. But again, I will say none of that is set in stone. That's just something that we've discussed internally a little bit, and something that we know people want and we want ourselves.
