Summary0012870: Deployables (Sentries and Mines) can be deployed via hotkey even when depleted/unequipped!
DescriptionSo yea... this is pretty major.

Actually discovered by accident while doing a 4 Science Exo campaign when I laid down a sentry turret despite none of my exos even having sentries. At first thought it had used sentries from one of the other 3 inactive exos but well... check out the save(s), taken on Day 4 of campaign.

Edit: Added screenshots because, hey, I worked hard on that!

Things to note:
1) Trap skill of active exo seems to be used when deployable is placed in this fashion. No big surprise there.
2) A little more surprising is that credits are gained when sentries are destroyed. As if this bug wasn't gamebreaking enough, you can farm credits with it too.
3) If exo comes equipped with sentries or mines, you can still click the hotbar button to deploy them even when your exo's supply is (supposed to be) exhausted, but using a hotkey to deploy them allows any active exo to drop them too.
4) I loaded an old save for my first playthrough of the game and bug was present there too, so its probably not just due to my particular setup for this campaign.

Haha, whoops. Not sure why this didn't come up during the alpha. Anywyay, yea, will fix this.

In the meantime the suggested workaround is to not keep pushing the button when it claims to be exhausted :)
