Now that the R-99 has been removed from floor loot the only "viable" guns in light ammo (in my opinion) are the G7 Scout, which barely uses ammo if you hit your shots, and the R-301. Neither of which are even that viable since, in season 6, every squad will rush you with no strategy and have a devotion/havoc/volt that kills you almost instantly while you sit in the lobby wondering what just happened. Now that the R-99 is gone and guns like the volt and devotion are in the game you basically have to pick up a volt/devotion to even stand a chance against other contestants so the light-ammo category feels neglected. What use is it picking up Medium range guns like the R-301 and G-7 Scout when the meta lies in close-range energy weapons. My point is that all light- ammo guns don't consume tons of light ammo (R-301 excluded) and are often un-used leading to loads of light ammo just waiting to be eaten by the storm. The opposite is for energy weapons, every gun besides the L-Star devours energy ammo and are all very viable leading to teams searching every building/deathbox just for energy ammo. Almost every game I've used the broken, OP, energy weapons I find myself scrounging around buildings, praying to the RNG gods for energy ammo. Now that the TTK is ridiculously short and energy weapons completely change the Meta, there is just not enough energy ammo to go around. Even the people I kill, who run energy weapons, rarely have more than a hundred.
Forgive me for making this way longer than It needed to be, but this makes me so heated.

Oh shoot, there's a lot of forgotten commas that need to be put in there. Oh well.

I can even see alot of lvl 3 light mags on the floor that nobody uses.
I find myself stocking about 5 slots of energy ammo and I regrarly pick it up and i don't have energy weapon.
