[IDEA] API Ammo Type for Loud Builds (PAYDAY 2)

​

I think Payday 2 could benefit from a new special ammo type for rifles and LMGs:

API (Armor-Piercing Incendiary) ammo

Core idea

A high-risk, high-reward ammo type focused on loud gameplay and crowd control.

Effects

Better penetration against shields and light cover

Small chance to set enemies on fire (burn damage over time)

Panic effect on ignited enemies (slight crowd control)

Balance

Lower total ammo reserve

Reduced ammo pickup efficiency

Higher recoil

Slight accuracy penalty

Why it fits PAYDAY 2

It would add a more cinematic firefight style and create new loud build options without changing core gameplay too much
