So, you can either QR twice or Reload. It doesn’t matter. For learning the opener, it can be easier to only have two ammo instead of three and reloading over it.

As an aside, the 2 ammo can be easier mid fight as well. There’s a couple ways to do the 2 ammo opener, depending on reloading before or after using Flamethrower. Reloading before FT lines up Reload for recast immediately after the gauss barrel down time and again to setup a 323 wildfire. This makes the rotation super consistent and requires less decision making in the heat of the moment at a minor, though not inconsequential, overall dps loss.
