I cant really say much for gold or silver difficulties, only tried silver once and i never used one thermal clip pack, even after spamming grenades. I have at least 30 of them and i was wondering do they actually become useful on higher difficulties?

[Atmosfear3]

I've used them on a few occasions when I ran out of ammo for my claymore on my Krogan soldier. Aside from that, ammo dumps are so plentiful that its almost impossible to run out of ammo.

When your pinned down they come in handy once in a blue moon.

 Had to solo a defend-the-node mission today. Was packing carnifex. No ammo dump nearby that was safe, because the playfield was camped by no less than like 7 Nemeses all waiting to focus fire me if I left cover. Was glad to have my thermal clip packs.

I haven't used many, but I HAVE used them. Like Butthead said, they are great when you are pinned down on a tough wave.

Quick reloads if you burn your Carnifex's ammo at the extraction point and don't want to risk exposure to hit the ammo box.

On silver difficulty, you only seem to get 1 (at most) grenades from the ammo crates dotted about the maps. Just to replenish I end up having to go to several different crates. I can't imagine grenades are any easier to come by in gold. Also there are times when you run out of ammo at precisely the wrong moment and don't have time to get to the nearest crate.

All that being said, I really don't use them that often, at least not on silver

They're useful for when your objective is uploading data and the enemies are blocking the path to the ammo box.

[darkangelvxvx]

 they're great for any class that uses grenades who really needs to rearm when they cant reach an ammo cache.  Or in general for a soldier because their grenades dont always resupply.

Never used them or OPS survival packs early in playing the MP. But now I use them every game. Especially for grenade heavy classes. If you can't get to an Ammo crate, use your ammo packs to get you out of bad situations. Example, without cluster grenades Drellguards lose half their effectiveness. Use your ammo packs when cornered or shorted by ammo crate cooldowns.

They're there to ensure that you'll never need a backup weapon.

[Ironsandshrew]

I very rarely use them, the only times are if I'm pinned down by a bunch of enemies and not near a ammo dump, so I have between 80-90 saved up...I'm glad they are there though for those emergency situations..which is basically what all four packs are..emergency packs.

I've never used one except my first mission, which I didn't know how to refill ammo.

Since then I've never used any. Played a lot gold/silver and N7 119 now.

But I guess they could be handy when you first play a new map and don't know where the ammo boxes are.

[TehJumpingJawa]

Used 1. once.

[Cloaking_Thane]

They help in a jam esp if you have to win the wave by yourself

I made this same thread and pretty much got flamed for it. I suggested the one-time-use-per-game ability to revive downed teammates from anywhere on the map called Unity.

[capn233]

Yes they have limited use. They are more important if you decide to only run one somewhat ammo limited weapon and are stuck in one spot (like for a "hack this terminal" wave, etc). I have over 100 I think.

that doesnt sound like the same thread at all

Extraction. That is the only time, ever.

[Rahabzu]

For grenades are their best use.

[Eohwae]

you'll use a loy more grenades on gold, ammo depots carry less of them, and more players use grenades. even on silver there are games where common depots are constantly empty. evetually, just two extra clips will not be enough

It was. I said that thermal clip packs were useless and that the Unity ability would be better.
