You can just refill the boxes :\
Every HPR kit comes with 2 boxes + holo, just refill the boxes. You kinda supposed to.

i am pretty sure restricted weapons are not supposed to be abundant on ammunition at roundstart , also if you add the amount of ammo there is already at prep i think this may not be good balance wise

@ihatethisengine there is 1(one) normal ammo box in the kit(not including the one in the magazine), and holo is bad(and also can't be refilled), meaning with the amount of mags in vendor you have 3 mags
@Diegoflores31 there are none at prep, and the ammo would not be "abundant" with this change, it would simply be enough to actually have enough to go with the amount of guns there are, right now its 1 drum per gun in the req vendors

So as I said, you have 2 normal boxes and 1 holo. You have 800 round in the kit. 600 of them refillable, we can ignore holo since it's bad. If you carry Mk1 even if you take noobtrap ammo belt, you'll barely have the same amount of ammo, with Mk2 you'll have way less. Just refill when you're out of ammo??? Alternatively you can replace holo with normal box, since everyone is ditching holo anyway. If anyone wants holo they can ask req. Also, this is out of scope, but I am not sure if hpr boxes should fit in mag pouches/armor/webbings, but w/e.

Overall Reqs balance is subject to TM tests right now, there's been rounds with a lot more or less supply, it's a bit hard to compare

On top of the general reqs buffs there's [[#5018]] which replaces back the MK1 spawns by HPR boxes as was intended initially

I really don't think Reqs gonna need any more

Edit: IIRC this PR was made after reduction of latejoin scaling and before i realized #4939 bugfixes cut marine roundstart supply by almost in half on high pop, so that just might be why you think there weren't enough

As Fira said above: req balance is subject to large changes currently under #4939 and #5018

I believe this PR should be not be considered until after those have been appropriately balanced and merged.

DNM until #4939 and #5018 have been merged or closed.
