Saiga go brrrrrrt…. Wait, the game’s over??

Why, why would you give me a drum magazine for my beloved Saiga like that….. for like 20 seconds……?

I kept seeing posts about only getting the drum magazine in the final mission, and considering how long of a slog through corridors of OP power armored gauss cannon aim bot enemies, expected to get it sooner…. But no….. I finally find the drum magazine, get excited, go in a room and murdered me 10 soldiers….. and then the game is over….

Why can’t we get it BEFORE the point of no return, or ya know, MUCH earlier in that long ass final mission 😭
