There is a lot of hate towards this nerf, and I just wanted to throw out my idea that would better balance the love for the gun and the game play.
unloading on a boss indefinitely was rather OP and I understand that it needed to change. But what if landing a critical hit on 2 or 3 different targets refilled the mag the way it does now. Also slightly lower stability and damage. I feel that although it can be more difficult it would still have a great reward and won't be as over powered in boss fights, and be more of a risk/reward thing where it will do less damage per shot then other snipers but if you can use it right can be very powerful because you will have more shots. so which option does the community prefer?
Option 1 - Bungie's 2.0 set up. taking ammo from your reserve.
Option 2 - My idea. in order to refill the mag you need to hit different targets.
Option 3 - (Other) post your ideas of how you think the black hammer should be balanced.

Option 3, leave it alone.

none, leave as is.

Leave it all alone!

Either leave it alone or decrease the critical hit time by half so you have to get the 3 hits quicker for the white nail to work. It would make it a more skill based weapon and I think people wouldn't be as pissed if they didn't get the ammo because they couldn't get 3 shots quick enough.

Maybe u can have it so that it slowly decreases in ammo returned so if u land all 3 headshot sit gives 3 then 2 then 1 then u have to reload it starts all over again

Leave it the -blam!- alone.

Why not have it take ammo from reserve, but when it gets to the last 3 bullets and there's no back up ammo, it should refill infinitely. That way it still has infinite ammo but missing a shot will keep it from being OP. Or maybe they should have a timer for white nail after it's refilled once so firing constantly on bosses won't be possible.

Change games.

Make black hammer exotic.

An alternative would be along the lines of...whitenail can only stack X amount of times so you can only refill mag 2 maybe 3 times, or X(4-5) amount of precision hits grants X amount of ammunition in return, these are just examples that takes 2 seconds of using a bit of imagination.

Option 3; Change the name to White Hammer; cuz Black Hammer died along with the game.
