    Hi guys,

    I am experiencing a very strange "bug" during my Titan play on XO, to describe it in short:
    Chain gun may run out of ammo!

    *****************************
    Detailed description as follows:

    Whenever I use ChainGun+Extended mag to equip my Atlas titan, there is a chance that after a few reloads, I'll be run out of ammo! The ammo count shows "0", and no matter what I do (including press the usual "X" button to reload), it is still empty! So the only thing I could do is to melee the enemy and eject....

    This has happened to me a number of times on the following maps:
    - Outpost
    - Rise
    (there could be another few maps where I encountered the same problems, just can't remember for now)

    Has anyone encountered the same problems? Appreciated if someone can give me some info on this, thanks!

    It is possible to run out of ammo with the chain gun, you can just jump out and jump back in and I am told it will replenish, I would recommend reporting this on the official titanfall website or link this post on twitter to respawn...:)

    I have seen this but slightly different than I think you are describing. I've been in my Titan for a long (very long) time on the Colony map when I've run out of ammo with the Chain Gun. I think I used up most of it grunt hunting. From memory I think I shot about 95 of the buggers before running out of ammo. There were only 4 pilots (2 on each 'team') and so running around every corner of the map and grunt hunting was kinda all there was to do really. I recall running out of ammo twice on that map. But I think that's a little different scenario than you've described. @Newtype are you saying that you reload just a couple of times then run out? If so, that's definitely different and possibly not right. You should be able to reload many times before running out of ammo...!!

    @Sgt_rawk Many thanks for the tip, I will give it a try later today, see if exit&re-enter the Titan will resolve the ammo issue.

    @BigDaddyHotGue I think our scenarios are different. I remember that on the Outpost map, in the last two waves, I called in my Titan, and concentrating my fire on the Nuke Titans with "ChainGun+ExtendedMag", and shot some grunts while I can, it was maybe after five or six reloads, I noticed the gun won't fire and there is this big Nuke dude walking towards me, and the only weapon I had was the cluster missle and electronic smoke.

    No problems dude. The official forum is probably the best place to post, but twitter might be quicker. If you can get xbox to record it it would make it easier. I always use the xo with ext. and haven't had the issue but I always run out and just jump out and get back in, can't remember how many rounds it gives you though. Let me know how you go dude. GL :)
