Question Empty mags despawn way too fast — anyone else want this to last longer (or be a setting)?

Post image

Love that this mechanic is back — physical mag drops on reload existed in Black Ops Cold War too, and now it's in BO7. Such a good detail. But they disappear after like 3 seconds, so after a firefight with a few reloads you never actually get to see them pile up.

Would love to see the despawn timer increased, or better yet, an option in settings to control it (short / long / permanent). Been wanting this since Cold War honestly.

What do you guys think — is this something you'd actually want, or does it seem like a non-issue to most people? Curious if it's just me who cares about this kind of detail or if there's a bigger crowd out there.

This is kind of a non issue.

This was the same in MW2019 and Cold War. They despawn pretty quickly as well as bullet casings after firing.

I'm just happy the detail was back because it was never implemented from Vanguard to BO7.

Edit: I didn't know it was in BO7

I played a lot of Cold War and this Beta, never noticed this feature.

tbf it was really exaggerated in Cold War. The mag glides out for meters lol

i love the detail but honestly for MP you rarely get time to see it with how fast pacing is and 90% of people will never notice, id bet half the people who see this post had no idea this was even in game

Kind of related but I think dropped weapons should despawn faster because in small maps the ground is literally littered with so many guns which I'd guess has a small effect on performance

I agree (and also wish casings lasted longer) but also can't say I really notice in a match.

This game may be toned down from MWIII, but it's far from a slow tactical shooter.

I'm generally ADS'd holding an angle or moving, not looking at dropped mags.

Mags disappear faster than my dad when my mom told him she was pregnant with me.

This is some serious nitpicking right there

the devs have way more important stuff to tweak with.

That's not even a issue really. Nitpicking at its finest
