If you don't want to use special ammo packs letting the ice breaker get to 6 rounds and switching to your arc sniper can yield anywhere from 6-12 rounds depending on the type.
Edit: for those whining about me spreading this. When you swap between weapons it has a conversion rate for ammo. Bungie had to enter a unique conversion rate for the icebreaker( even if it's a blanket 50% ) . It is impossible they did not know this existed. If it's overpowered is another conversation but they already know. This isn't a exploit or glitch it is LITERALLY JUST SWAPPING WEAPONS and using the calculated conversation rate Bungie programmed in.
PS. To those of you who know it's a good thing to spread helpful information around the community thanks. Have a great week and may all your nightfall loot be what you wanted.

Confused. Why would this sound 'too good to be true' when there's a magical Ammo Fairy built into the game. Don't bother with ammo syth. Run everything dry and she comes along in a few seconds after.

Thanks for sharing!

Who needs a arc sniper when you have a arc primary?

This will probably be nerfed soon just because it's been shared on the forums... [~L_~]

Good on you.

Can confirm... I do it all the time for my supremecy...

I just used a fully upgraded Icebreaker the entire nightfall... and Dead Orbit rocket launcher (arc). As a reward I got another Icebreaker, lol.

Nice one. I think I speak for all the grateful people in this godforsaken community when I say THANK YOU for suggesting a decent, unique tip on how to beat the Nightfall.

Really wish I would've bought it from Xur two weeks ago...

Also works on the invective.
-
They could still nerf it by dropping the conversion rate from ice breaker, dumbass. Thanks a lot...
-
Stop posting these things online. Bungie is going to nerf it now.

Yes this works in PvE. Unsure about pvp

Can someone confirm this? I have the icebreaker & patience & time. Would be good & a super tip if true.
