M4a1-s Predator HM/HMX questions

2fue

Well hey everyone i've been away for a bit due to work and all but with this new m4 for HMX it got me really curious about only one question. I know that there is a ammo increase for using this gun in HMX games and your ammo count per clip is boosted up to 50 rounds, but can it be stacked and to what degree? Is this going to be a 5 max effect like the tommy's and rpk's? So roughly a 250 round m4 for HMX? I'm HMX kind of guy and this would be a plus side to be using but a real disadvantage on the receiving end at the same time.

Thanks, IGN: 2Pac_

Unfortunately it doesn't work like that, from what I've seen on other versions the increased bullets in HMX doesn't stack meaning if you have 2 m4 Pred. your ammo would be 50/150 (base) + 2 (bonus ammo perk from Vip m4) = 52 ammo per mag. I hope my answer makes sense

Not sure how it will work hopefully a gm or mod can answer your question.

I think he's right, doesn't matter if you got 2 or 3 M4A1 Predator it'd still give you 50/150 bullets, it just increase as he said if you own 2 of them your ammo will increase to 52/156

Yea the effect doesn't stack as it's the gun 'changing' if you will just for the sake of playing Mutation type modes. Not sure if you got to experience the AA12 Busters last VIP pre-order but it'll be like that was with one ammo count for normal modes and then the 50 for Mutation type modes.

I wonder if this weapon is 100% wall-bang outside ZM/MM modes?Not getting it anyway, just curious.

People would riot if it wasn't.

LOL TRUE. Nice LOGIC.

From what i know, it doesn't stack...
out of curiosity wouldn't a GM player prefer a more powerful weapon for HMX? like the Tommy or the RPK for an example?

In my personal opinion the Tommy has a tendency to not reg more than most other guns for me. The RPK however, would most likely still be more preferable....To the exception that doesn't the RPK has a bit more weight thus slightly slower movement speed? Also the m4 probably has better accuracy and less recoil and spread meaning you can hit more from farther distances. And the other predator perk will also allow you to jump higher. So you might be able to get to places you'd other wise need a 2nd person to boost you up to with the predator equipped. Oh and a faster reload...though of course less bullets.
That....and if it matches your play style well enough then it's silenced so you can actually play with sound instead of noise fest 9000. (or well...maybe a little sound...chances are every other person in the room will have loud MGs as well. x] )

Only stacks once, so multiple won't make a huge difference - only the +2 ammo per m4 vip.

The m4a1 vip family is OP, wallbang, and the accuracy is pretty good. So having more ammo on it and using it in hmx kinda makes sense. Stacked with a mag and other m4a1 vips would give it more ammo as well.

Also the stacked ammo feature is ONLY for the owner. So throwing it to a friend will turn it into a normal m4a1 vip.

this has already been answered in this thread. But yea, it's only for the M4a1 Predator. The effect will not be applied to other guns, and it will not stack.

well i guess that's a good thing, thanks for the answer mate.
As well as to everyone else about this topic, i have seen in other versions where you have other m4 vip's and they stack like normal but no one with 2 m4 predators, so i was curious of ammo counts. I guess imma pass on this one and wait for the others (not because of the mm stack), bills are killing me, that's all.
