Was this done intentionally, because my particle rifle (which I use a lot, it is AWESOME) picks up all the heat sinks it can get! I just find it strange that a gun that shouldn't be able to use heat sinks (it's a 50000 year old prothean gun after all) instead is able to use INFINITE heat sinks. If they think the rifle is a gamebreaker, why don't they just lower the damage or capacity? Now they have just given it a heatsink-absorption function, and what use does that have?
Particle Rifle heat sink slurping?

It isn't really a problem though in my eyes, as the Particle Rifle has unlimited ammo as is, and any spare sicks it "slurps" just attach themselves to any additional weapons needing ammo anyway. If you're totally full on ammo, then yeah it does seem to pick up clips but... do you really need them? If you needed them they'd go to whatever weapon is out anyway.
I mean, I'm playing with the PR at X on Insanity, my only other weapon is the Black Widow, and I've never managed to run out of Widow ammo so far. The heat-sink (thermal clip I think?) slurping is more just an odd feature of the PR, which I suppose reacts to ammo as if it's always empty, so slurps them up. I admit it is annoying to hear that clickclickclick, but it doesn't really seem to do anything with that ammo, and if you have to backtrack to get more ammo... there's usually some refilling ammo-crates/boxes scattered around, right?
Also, I think the Particle Rifle says it was "altered" with present-day tech, so it might take thermal clips: I think it's just not meant to need them unless you break it by smashing it into a Brute repeatedly, or something XD

I never had trouble with it myself, but I just thought it was odd. Thanks for the answer!

This is very much my stance. At the end of the day its not like any of your other weapons are missing out - they still get refilled every time your Particle Rifle auto-noms clips. Practically the only real issue is if you're defending a single area for very long periods of time and not moving on... which doesn't really happen in the campaign.

Ah, an awesome combo. WTFPWN ALL THE THINGS!
