Topic. From what I understand you'll have to pick up all those power cell containers to refill your heavy weapon ammo, as that's the only way to get new ammunition.

Afaik  the amount of heavy weapon ammo you get is dependant on your research in Heavy Weapon Ammo.

I also know that you always get a sizable amount of  regular ammunition, usually I go from near empty to full. Moreover you'll get 100 credits if your heavy weapon ammo is already at maximum capacity.

Afaik you'll also get heavy weapon ammo if you pick up a new heavy weapon during a mission (Particle Beam, Firestorm).

What I don't get is how the following can happen:
Daratar - Secure smuggled cargo:
Cain with 145%, I use it, down to 45%, pick up some power cells, 63%.

Normally I should begin my next mission with a 63% Cain. But that's not the case.

These are the things I did before starting the next mission:
I mine the remaining rich planets in the Faryar system contentrating on Platinum, as I have enough of the rest.
Zip over to Ploitari, mine the rich planets for Platinum and start N7: MSV Estevanico.
Cain 145%.

I didn't/can't check if one of the actions before starting N7: MSV Estevanico did refill my heavy weapon ammo, but it would be nice to know if there's some game mechanic behind these heavy weapon ammo refills.

Did you check how much ammo you had after the Secure Cargo mission? Maybe you get a small ammo refill whenever you return to the Normandy.



You can see how much heavy weapon ammo you have in the pause menu so you might wanna check there after each mission you complete. Wish i could be of more help but that's the best i got.

I don't know if anyone will read this since the thread is a month old but i felt i had to post it.



I just finished the Tali recruitment mission and i had used the Cain on the geth colossus which left me with 34 ammo. I picked up the ammo crate before leaving which brought me up to 60. Now after mission i went to the weapons locker on the ship to swap out the Cain cain out for the Arc Projector and i noticed i had 14 ammo(heavy weapons use the same ammo but the number varries with each). When switching BACK to the Cain i had 145 ammo.



I don't know if this is a bug or not but i sounds like it might answer your question about mysterious ammo refills.

It has been my experience that "main" story missions often give heavy weapon refills. Tali's, IFF, section changes in final mission, and a few others, which helps you actually get some use out of them. I never usually see it in N7 missions, but very often in main story line. The Devs may have done this on missions that they know people will use alot of HWs, so as to not penalize the people for using them later in the game.
