Ammo Cheats?

[plastik]

This is a question for console.

is it possible for anyone to gain more ammo / powerups / spawn with weapons by cheating?

i cant say that would be possible unless cheats was activated on the server

It should be impossible, from a client-side hack.

The client can pretty much only tell the server a couple things:
  "i want to move in that direction"
  "i pressed the attack button"

There's just no way for the client to tell the server "give me ammo" or "powerup" or "weapon".  (Unless server cheats are on, of course.)

thats what I figured, i guess im just being too parinoid, because i've seen some people seem like their shooting forever, and more rounds than the actualy weapon can hold, despite bandolier.

Ammo pack too.. can hold like an extra 100 bullets... 10 rockets.. etc.

Silly example, but you could pickup a weapon fire a few times, drop it, then pick it back up to have the same as you started with.  Depends on weapon drops being allowed.

Backpack+bandolier= alot more ammo than normal

is it me, or does the bandolier actually work in multiplayer?
out of all these years of playing i have never noticed it ever give me more ammo or increase my carrying capicity

It works

Bandolier only gives you capacity to carry 50 more bullets, 50 more shells, 50 more cells and 25 more slugs. It doesn't make you carry more nades or rockets, so that's probably why you never noticed.
