I'm still on a 360, and I was seeing the Firefly Nuke effect immediately after the Taken King update the week before the 15th (my bae was an old Saterienne Rapier that dropped with Firefly, with the remaining perks giving it good Stability and maxed Range). Occasionally to the point that the explosions would make the game chug for a moment -- it seemed like popping one enemy's head would cause previously-popped heads to go off again as well. Don't remember if I got it to make the game crash, but suddenly the boom-booms were crazy-go-nuts.

Edited by ZHX1138: 9/28/2015 6:41:39 AMWhat's the pattern? Locations that they happen and amount of enemies?

In terms of locations, pretty much anyplace where several enemies show up in a tight group. Say, that one garage in the Steppes that spawns 7 Fallen at a time, if you can start picking them off as they come out of the stairs, though I could get basically the same effect just from a couple rounds of plinking by the 3-Fallen rock near the Cosmodrome Patrol start point. I know for a fact that I was getting Massive 'Splodey while helping another guy farm Thralls at the old "We've Woken the Hive!" spot, though that's not the best example since a headshotted Hive dissolves instead of leaving a corpse. I haven't had a gun with Firefly for some time - holding a 160 gun kind of kills your Light level - but now that [spoiler]Cayde gave me that 1000-Yard Stare for finishing Taken War: Earth[/spoiler] I could start testing it again. What I've seen from videos of people using Ace of Spades, though, seems to indicate that the devs noticed what was happening and have dialed it back a bit. (Also, kind of leveling up my shotgun at the moment. Finally got a replacement for that Void-type Conspiracy Theory-D, which would have been fine if I could shoot it more than twice a day.)

Nice feedback. I find that preventing this glitch from freezing the console is by giving the head shots a break for a few seconds and jumping a way from enemies up close. Then I continue firing. But I find it very easy to cause the freeze in patrol and strikes by doing lots on head shots up close in crowded areas and working hard to get firefly explosions.
