What's with all the ammo in loot?

Every playthrough I always run into the same issue... You're doing quests, building up in power and resources, and you start getting to the tier 4, tier 5, tier 6 quests... Then suddenly, you're inundated with ammo.

I'm somewhat of a loot goblin, I guess. I see loot, I take it, unless I can convince myself to just drop it on the ground or leave it where I found it. So a lot of loot ends up at my base, sitting in storage chests. So the longer I play, the more storage chests I need, which just keep getting filled with, among other things, stacks upon stacks of ammo.

So you think to yourself, "okay, I have ammo, I'll use up the ammo"... So you go to a quest, guns blazing, wasting as much ammo as you can, and you mow down every enemy, get to the loot room, and... You loot three times as much ammo as you spent clearing the building...

Okay, maybe Blood Moon will solve this...? Nope, the enemies you kill end up dropping more ammo than you can spend killing them.

Surely I can't be the only one who experiences this, every single playthrough, right? Ammo is way too common in mid-late game.
 
Endgame has me opening an infested cache, scrapping the 4 largest ammo stacks and leaving the rest of the ammo behind. I'm looking forwards to the big options update so i can gut infested cache's to the bone.

It has the side effect of making bases nothing more than dragon hoards to store your loot, why craft when you can bring home a full inv 3 times a day.
 
I'm selling all ammo I don't need for my hordenight M60. I got to fly to all traders every refresh day and still every hordenight brings me more than I can sell. Not to mention what I find in loot. The only ammo I ever crafted besides arrows was for the Dirty Larry challenge since I sold all 🫠
So yes, You're not the only one.
 
I haven't crafted ammo in years, only explosives since they don't drop much. I wasn't even doing quests for those infested caches and i was still swimming in it. They always try to make the game harder and harder yet give us unlimited ammo 😆
 
There will be an option to increase or decrease ammo in loot coming in the next big update. In fact they have separated out several categories of loot that you will be able to individually modify the percent chance of showing up in loot. So people who want no ammo in loot can try that and people who want just less than we have now can have that and it won't affect anything else about loot.

People who want it left alone or even increased beyond the current balance will be able to have that too.
