About:- Allows players press Shift + R to switch between Primary Ammo and Upgraded Ammo.
- Allows players to carry both upgrade ammo types (Incendiary and Explosive).
- Both upgrade ammo types keep with the weapon when it's dropped.
- Upgraded ammo is carried over map transitions or restarts (only in coop/realism modes).
- This plugin was really complicated to write (6 re-writes) due to multiple ammo bug issues with the engine.
Incompatible:This plugin is incompatible with the following plugins:
Thanks:- strikeraot - For tons of testing and the idea and request.
- Lux and MasterMind420 - For putting up with my rage while trying to figure out ammo bug issues.
- Toranks - Spanish translation.
- NoroHime - Chinese translations.
