What happens when the bug occurs? When taking ammo from the firing range stacks via Loba's black market, if your inventory is full but you have an incomplete stack of ammo it will take just enough to fill the stack but then that ammo stack will permanently stop spawning on the ground.
What should be happening instead? The game should gracefully pull the full stack of ammo, fill the last stack in your inventory then drop the rest next to the black market, and the ammo stack should continue spawning in its place in the firing range
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go into the firing range as Loba, set a black market, keep taking ammo from it until your inventory is full. If you take a clean stack in your final space and it doesn't overflow, drop 20, wait for it to disappear, then take another stack from the black market. Then go to the location of the ammo stacks for the type you were taking and observe that one stack is missing and will not respawn. You may repeat this any number of times until all ammo has disappeared from the firing range and no longer spawns.
I've screenshotted the steps to reproduce here for added clarity:
Filled inventory with energy ammo
Reloading the Volt to fill the extended energy mag results in the following:
Replacing the 7 energy rounds with energy ammo from the black market:
An entire 3 stacks are now missing and refuse to spawn ever again until the firing range is reset (Leave and come back in)
The part that makes this bug the most annoying is that the firing range is connected for everyone. So if someone messed up the ammo in the lobby I enter, I have to deal with it or jump out and in again hoping to get into a better lobby.
