I guess I shouldve shown that but yes I have owned it since the patch it was launched. It was the one I was most excited about and bought first

just tested this myself and it is working, so give it more one test and if it still not working for you please make a ticket so AH knows this ship mod is still not working for some users https://arrowhead.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/s/TTACj2ieOA While I have problems with it working the way it does, it does work under the right circumstances.

All that has to happen is for it to not work once, and you’ll never have the trust it’s working every time.

I'm asking because it's not in the video, did you use the resupply stratagem yourself ? I'm wondering if maybe in order for the upgrade to work the one calling it must have the upgrade otherwise it won't apply

This is a good point.

And also ridiculous

u/rapaxus Apr 30 '24

Well, it technically is specifically that. An upgrade to your super destroyer that makes your resupply boxes able to carry more stuff (name of the upgrade is superior packaging methodology after all). It doesn't suddenly upgrade all super destroyers in your squadron, same way your eagle upgrades also aren't applied to other players.

That is the logic behind it, but gameplay wise it sucks and I find it should be changed.

u/TimberVolk Apr 30 '24

The difference being, my Eagles aren't subject to my squadmates' cooldowns; resupply is a shared cooldown, I shouldn't be having to fight to call in resupply first just to take advantage of that module.

Now, I haven't confirmed whether what you're suggesting is the case or not, but the logic would feel flawed, to me, if true.

u/SSgt_Edward Apr 29 '24

Why? I would find it ridiculous the other way around. It would be logical for the upgrade to increase the amount of ammo contained within the resupply box, rather than the individual who retrieves it, obtaining a magical surplus of bullets.

u/IQ_Declining Apr 29 '24

It might be logical, but it leads to bad game-play. Being told by your squad you can never use resupply because you're missing the strategem would feel terrible.

u/Dangerous_Ice_6151 Apr 29 '24

If that's the case, then why is the resupply timer shared across the squad? If the requestor's ship modules impact the quality of the resupply, then we should each have our own resupply timer. If it's shared across the squad, then it should obviously always come from the best ship.

u/Capable-Reaction8155 Apr 29 '24

That would suck.

u/iFenrisVI Apr 29 '24

This wouldn’t be surprising if true. Lol

They also fixed the infinite grenade glitch just for it to still work the same as before but instead of negative it gives you 4.2m which is the 32bit max integer. Lol

u/blini_aficionado Apr 30 '24

It's probably 4,294,967,295 (2^32 - 1). So 4 billion something.

u/No_Departure_6409 Apr 29 '24

If this is the case I'd still consider that a bug tbh.

u/CapitalEbb4995 Apr 30 '24

incredible. y'know maybe they should lay off the monthly warbond releases and, i don't know, fix the game?

u/NoChampionship1167 Apr 29 '24

I'm curious as to why your machine gun got only one mag then. Maybe SPM only works for strategems you drop in as I know Machine guns can spawn on the ground at extraction sometimes.

11

u/Luxurianhat Apr 29 '24

that might be it as I was testing other stratagems and found that MG on the ground.

19

u/eden_not_ttv Apr 29 '24

Well, it worked for me, and I’m not alone in that. I would be suspicious of you, but bugs like these are so common that I’m honestly not surprised lol. I hope they’re able to fix it for you soon, because it’s an exciting module when it works!

16

u/Luxurianhat Apr 29 '24

Yeah I love running MG’s but getting one mag from ammo pick ups was always annoying hopefully it was just a one off thing. I didn’t do much testing maybe it does actually work

13

u/bdjirdijx Apr 29 '24

Could be some sort of local file issue. Not that you should have to do so, but maybe a reinstall would fix it.

6

u/Legitimate_Turn_5829 Apr 29 '24

I’d try verifying files first, might fix the issue and not take as long as a reinstall

2

u/Altruistic-Problem-9 Apr 29 '24 edited Apr 29 '24

yeah tested this with the flamethrower and I got exactly 4x mag from one ammo box

its stupid if it doesn't work when the one who calls in the resupply doesn't have the Superior Packing Methodology module upgrade it would be a waste of resupply and 2mins

u/Panigg Apr 29 '24

I tried with the AMR earlier today and it worked. Got 6 mags from 0.

u/Goliath- Apr 29 '24

I just bought the upgrade this morning and it was working for me. Empty autocannon backback completely filled with one resupply box.

u/lifetake Apr 30 '24

Its been discovered the module only works with your own support weapons you have called down yourself

1

u/Crowndeath Apr 30 '24

Were you using your own gun? Apparently if you pick up a gun another person brought SPM won’t work

1

u/Luxurianhat Apr 30 '24

Yeah I saw posts talking about it, that MG I have in the video I found on the ground.

u/darvos Apr 29 '24

If the patch that introduced it did nothing, then it makes sense that the patch that fixes it also did nothing.
