Figured out the math behind the Mina ammo Bug

Note: all terms and acronyms that are marked will be explained below

So 2 hours before the next hero releases, I figured out that Mina's ammo bug doesn't have a set limit of 16 new bullets (explained below).

Basically the Mina ammo bug consists of the player reloading, then using sanguine retreat while reloading. The bug likely happens due to yellow bullets* not needing to confine to the mag size. This normally is confined for Mina because of the additional mag size. However, with the bug, you can reload for the new mag size by bypassing the reload prevention from Mina's yellow bullets*

Normally, sanguine retreat gives you 8 yellow bullets* and 8 added mag size. With the bug, you gain a total of 16 bullets, giving a total of 28.

With extended magazine or escalating resilience, your BMS (Base Mag Size) is now 16 bullets, your SRA (Sanguine Retreat Ammo) total is 24, your SRM (Sanguine Retreat Mag) is 26, but the SRB (Sanguine Retreat Bug) gives you 34 bullets.

Then with Titanic Mag, it's 23 BMS*, 31 SRA*, 38 SRM*, 46 SRB*. And with both Titanic Mag and Escalating Resistance, it's 27 BMS*, 35 SRA*, 44 SRM*, 52 SRB*.

So now the math.

Your BMSs are obvious, increasing by the item percentages.

The SRA is the base 8 additional bullets from the BMS.

The SRM is a 66.67% additional bullets, rounded down to the nearest integer. This is due to the mag sizes of extended and titanic mags rounding down, but the BMS of both Titanic and Escalating being 1 bullet smaller than it should be.

And finally, the SRB is the SRM + 8 *yellow bullets.

Key:

yellow bullets: ammo similar to bullets gained through Vampiric Burst

BMS - Base Mag Size

SRA - Sanguine Retreat Ammo

SRM - Sanguine Retreat Mag

SRB - Sanguine Retreat Bug
