Scavenging for ammunition and weapons.

I really hope as the campaign progresses you accrue enough of an inventory of weapons, ammunition, and other gear that scrambling for loot in the middle of a fight becomes a secondary thing. It’s not a lot of fun running back and forth between crates trying to get everyone geared up. I hope we’re able to outfit our soldiers with extra ammo and gear that we don’t NEED to go get the loot boxes.

You’re already able to equip your soldiers with extra ammo and equipment before a mission. You will be able to manufacture it too (you already can make ammo for any weapon you have).

When you complete a scavenging site, all of the crate contents on the map is recovered and sent to your base.

We have a ubiquitous resource already that can be spent crafting additional ammunition for weapons.

Not needing to get the loot boxes is nice, but not auto looting guns dropped on the ground is a pain.  
I can’t imagine why soldiers would leave weapons on the ground like that.  
During scavenging sites, haven defenses and nest/lair etc. you should pick up everything automatically imo.  
Maybe limited by the room your soldiers have but still.  
Ambushes could be the exception if you only survive 5 turns and win, but still if you kill all enemies there’s no reason to pick up the weapons they dropped.

I hope the devs are looking into this
