From BDv22 Beta 3 onwards, Backpack weapons do not spawn when using this addon, so unfortunately there will be no updates from now on, as this fully interferes with the balance changes, unless that doesn't matter to you. Thank you for those that have those that have helped create this addon, the support from Discord and you, for downloading this addon.
11/12/2023 - Update 6
- My last update, I have released 3 versions that players can use to their liking. The spawn chances are listed below:
- Advanced Backpack - 20% chance - the same as the first release (a.k.a Update 2), ideal for players currently playing the BDv22 Beta and want to have more access to the non-vanilla weapons that spawn alongside normal backpacks and chainsaws.
- Advanced Backpack version 2 - 50 % chance - Kinda self-explanatory, a balance between the 2 versions and similar to update 4.
- Advanced Backpack version 3 - 100% chance - Normal backpacks do not spawn and players that play the Beta will either have to rely on chainsaw spawns or console commands to have access to the non-vanilla weapons
8/12/2023 - Update 5
- For BDv22, Mark made changes for non-vanilla weapons to spawn alongside normal backpacks. Because of this, Advanced Backpack Version 2 has been added to better suit the changes made to v22
5/08/2021 - Update 4
- Backpack spawns rebalanced
26/04/2021 - Update 3
- Advanced Backpack spawns have been increased
13/09/2020 - Update 2
- Extra ammo can now be in found in a more advanced backpack, hence the name change of the addon (Formerly called Extra Ammo for BDv21 Gold). It has a 20% chance of replacing the normal backpack.
- Amount of grenades reduced to 30
Nice job Tobsz11, glad to help.
Thank you honestly.
Now all we need is a mod that makes doomguy Slow and angry every time he pickups an advanced backpack LoL.
Jokes aside This mod is perfect for disabling the hud and don't thinking about ammo. So grab you SSG, get ready to slay some mortally challenged and enjoy the view after some "cleaning".
Glad you like it :)
Good mod, but in some weaponss ammo, like shotgun shells or plasma, once you reach their normal max, dont grab anymore than that. Only small ammo or weapons droped, but with the shotgun shell box and plasma box, dont works.
PS. Sorry for my bad english.
I think I understand what you mean. I just tested it by picking up the Advanced Backpack when I already had the normal max, and you are right, it doesn't go beyond that on the first pickup, making the first pickup a waste. I will have to look into this later cause it's a really weird problem for me at the moment and also this kind of thing is planned to be used in another mod, so it will get looked into later. Thanks for the heads up on it.
Very nice! This will become a new standard addon for my BD setup. My Discord members are always craving for more ammo in my co-op events so this will hopefully make them bitch less about needing ammo :P
this is perfect for super hard difficulty's thanks!! i tend to play project brutality more i was wondering if you could make this to work with project brutality 3.0
Honestly… since PB 3.0 is still WIP, I think it would be a good idea if the mod gets finished first before making an addon like this work for it. You never know what kind of changes the Devs could do that will conflict with this addon or any other addon. I believe I am aware of an addon group already with PB 3.0; I guess some1 could use it, but they will just need to give the proper credits that’s all cuz I am working on other stuff right now and feel finished with this one already.
yea that is true.
It just works.
Awesome mod! Really helpful in some of the slaughterhouse maps
Love it!
