People keep making a number of posts complaining that when they change their guns, the ammo disappears. THIS IS NOT A BUG! This is done on purpose. Consider picking up heavy ammo for a machine gun. Let's say you get 90 bullets for the machine gun. Then you switch to a rocket launcher. Those 90 bullets can't magically change into rockets. That just wouldn't make sense, because you'd have a lot of rocket ammo then and be overpowered. It allows for balance in the game, which was Bungie's intent. So please, quit posting that this is a bug, because it isn't. It is simply a game mechanic to add challenge to the game.

The reason people are posting this as a bug it's because it's not said anywhere, and it feels like a bug. Lack of information is to blame.

Agreed. The mechanic of wiping the ammo when switching makes perfect sense. It also forces people to think about their loadouts a bit more before going into battle.

I found an ammo reset bug actually. I was playing devils lair and completely ran out of ammo and on my last shot, poof, full ammo for every weapon I had. Primary secondary and heavy. Is that suppose to happen?

I'm bumping this post because people are still posting about it.

Maybe not for your Heavy weapon, but for Special definitely. Though, perhaps it should decrease it down to 1/4 of what it was, but not put you at zero.
