So, I discovered this bug a while back, but I assumed it was a known issue and you were working to fix it. I figured I might as well post the issue myself, just in case.
The Black Hammer's White Nail and Hive Disruptor upgrades conflict. White Nail requires three precision shots to replenish ammunition. Hive Disruptor does bonus damage to Hive Majors. Instead of increasing the precision damage against Hive Majors, Hive Disruptor adds an additional damage tick that counts as a body shot, therefore, interrupting White Nail's requirement to activate. Hive Disruptor becomes White Nail Disruptor.
I would have you disable Hive Disruptor until you have a working solution. I prefer to use my Black Hammer against Hive Majors with replenished ammo rather than an extra bit of damage.
For all of you who have gotten a Black Hammer, don't upgrade the Hive Disruptor until Bungie fixes the bug and you won't have any problems.

Hi ArchaicFlame, Thanks for the post! Bungie is definitely aware of this issue, but we appreciate it when players take the time to carefully describe problems they are running into. Although our process can take some time, know that we want all of our gear to work as intended and as soon as we have more info to share on this particular issue, we will.

Bump!

Bump!!!! I love my black hammer
-
Bump - love this weapon and thought it was just my bad shooting
-
I'll bump just because I own one. Is it possible this was intended? If so, hopefully they just formally respond and debunk this.
-
Bump!!! Damn I wish I read this before I just upgraded. Damn. Thanks for the post!
-
Now I just thought I was a lousy shot with this weapon and can't hit the sweet spots. I find the Hive Disruptor very effective in the raid against all the Major Knights and the Wizards, I guess there is a trade off for the time being.

I will bump this. This is a legit tread of a bug that is causing a problem with a weapon. No drama or emotions and just to the point. Thank you good sir. I will bump this.
