Screw that noise. Emotions for the D-Pad is such a waste of a button on the controller! We don't want more emotional options, we want to be able to activate a heavy synth or change between two primaries, secondaries, and heavies! Let the D-pad help during a fire fight, not give us more useless actions that have zero bearing on success of a mission. It's so annoying that I have to run and hide to change from sniper to shotgun, AR to Hand Cannon, or LMG to Rocket Launcher. Make that 'ol D-pad useful and make them swappable hot keys!

The fact you lose ammo when going from shotgun to sniper is an important function. Keeps people from being OP.

  • That is ridiculous. How does losing/keeping ammo when swapping weapons make one over/underpowered? How does this 'function' keep Crucible humming? Looking back, how would any fight across history operate under such a rule? Are we supposed to squint and pretend we are fumble-thumbs losing ammo every time we weapon-swap?

  • Bungie Dev's have confirmed that it is a glitch when swapping between heavies or specials and you lose ammo. You're not supposed to do that logic is broken.

  • It was actually a post that Deej responded to here on these forums. Some guy posted that it was annoying that he would lose ammo during a firefight when he switched between different weapons. He tagged Deej on it and lo and behold, our community manager actually responded! I read it like two weeks ago, but even though Deej said the Dev's were aware of it and will be working on it I highly doubt it will get patched soon, if at all. I'll see if I can't find it again for you.

  • Yup. Waste of time. Ammo synth on down special synth on hold right or the ability to customize the d pad

  • That can very easily be a ghost function. It doesn't have to be one or the other.
