Why did bungie take the heavy ammo synth away from Xur???

the very first week Xur did exchanges of glimmer and materials for strange coins and bungie took that away …i understand why you guys did that….Xur also sold 5 packs of heavy ammo for 1 coin and now this week that option is no longer available … why would you (Bungie) take away the heavy ammo synth from Xur??? I just don't get it…anybody else notice the option to buy heavy ammo from Xur was gone this week of was it just me???

  • The answer why Xur didn't have heavy ammo this weekend is that there was an exploit that allowed people to use heavy ammo in the crucible and basically have unlimited heavy. They've patched that exploit now, so odds are Xur will be selling again next week, fear not

      Ok this post it to the retards who uses coins for ammo. 1) you are an idiot. 2) you are an idiot 3) use your coins to buy engrams, break exotics down and bam you have material for coins.

        • Bungie is just trying everything and anything to artificially prolong the grind.

          • There are only so many items that Xur can fit in his rectum to sneak through customs. The heavy ammo had to go because of it's weight and dimensions.

              • to bungie this whole ordeal is like trading a prostitute drugs for sexual favors instend of paying her…because we all know if you pay her in cash the money just goes to the pimp…moral of the story the pimp (bungie) decided to bitch slap the hoe (Xur) to make sure she didn't take drugs (coins) for favors (ammo) anymore ..

                • You guys calling this man stupid are really the stupid ones... If I'm not mistaken heavy ammo synths are 900 glimmer each. 900 x 5 = 4500 for you slow-minded people. That's 4500 glimmer that can be bought with one coin.... Just one... You know how much time that would take to grind out 4500 glimmer? Besides why do you guys care what someone else is spending their coins on?

                  • probably the fix to pvp heavy ammo exploit :P They found out Xur was the one leaking it so they took it away from him.

                    • Yeah i noticed big time. I usually buy at least 6 lots from him-and they don't last the week. Last week i had 25,000 glimmer,now i couldn't afford to upgrade a pair of armoured underpants. As for Bungie-i think they like making us suffer.

                        It is very simple, this week is iron banner after you rank to level 4 you need 9000 (18000 if you need both)glimmer to buy gloves or/and shoes, so they are trying to force you to buy heavy ammo with glimmer, if you do that you might end up with not enough glimmer to buy shoes and gloves, so you have to grind/play more to earn that glimmer,. Simply they are forcing you to grind more, sink more hours into the game. Do you think it is by accident that you cant buy Heavy's with strange coins the same week you need glimmer for the iron banner shoes and gloves....its a scam.

                        Bungie suddenly realised that when players didnt want / need the crap on offer they would use coins for heavy ammo packs. Last week I bought 100 packs and this week I was going to do the same so I had plenty for raids and strikes I suppose [b]this isn't the way it was intended to be played.[/b] Youre supposed to run out of glimmer and ammo at the raid to piss you off more than the usual teleporter initiating a forced wipe because someones trapped inside..

                          • ok so its obvious that the people that think spending coins on heavy ammo is stupid..are the same ones not getting anything from the raid,,nightfall etc and are probably just another whining casual…because most of us who actually play this game have most of the things Xur will ever sell…so why the hell would we not spend our coins on ammo we have massive stockpiles of coins and nothing to spend them on

                              • Because this is the first week in a very long time we needed glimmer for anything BUT ammo, and now they want us to up the grind. Want that IB gear you grinded for? 9500 glimmer. Class item? 4500 (?) Glimmer. Now you wanna go raid and need heavy synths? Well, thats just too bad bub. Better go grind.... MORE GLIMMER!

                                • Who really cares about the ammo synth anyways...go buy it from the gunsmith...i have never bought that from him cuz I save my coins for other weapons or gear Use your glimmer instead cuz that's all you can do with it otherwise it's pointless

                                  • Maybe xur selling heavy ammo synthesis is also RNG, and this week the 5% chance of no heavy ammo finally happened. On a side note though, I'm glad I stocked up on heavy ammo this month from the previous sales. I'm glimmer broke from the iron banner lol

                                  • if you raid much at all..then you were probably one of the ones stacking ammo synths from Xur weekly…..if you don't raid much or only do the raid on normal…then you buy your ammo from the gun smith…nuff said
