Black hammer

Black hammer WAS one of my favorite weapons, now with the "great" update it uses ammo from your extra ammo. Instead of from thin air, it's hard enough to get three precision shots, and that was your nice reward, getting three extra bullets! Now guardians will have to resort to a different sniped... The Bungie franchise NEEDS TO CHANGE IT BACK! People won't use this gun and it will end in the scrap pile or the vault, * which still needs to be made bigger* and made useless!

  • The video from Sc Slayerage explaining why the nerf to Black Hammer is not wise pretty much nails it. As for me, pulling ammo from reserve renders the perk useless and takes away its uniqueness. The change only cuts out the time it takes to press square (or X) to reload, which I can do myself without needing the game to do it for me. Some might say that Black Hammer is OP with the free bullets perk, but they should ask themselves how often does it come into play? I myself find the perk only useful on bosses like Aksor, Fallen walkers and the Tank, and Sepiks. I'm quite a decent sniper myself and it's not easy to chain infinite shots with the target moving around, changing angles, mobs shooting at you etc. Apart from that, the perk is not effective on mobs or guardians in PvP. Add to the fact that BH only holds 3 rounds in the mag, I'd say the free bullets are justified. Even if the perk makes it easier in PvE, why would it matter? The aforementioned bosses are ones we've fought many, many repetitive times in the strike playlists, nightfalls and what have you. People who want to make it harder on themselves are just masochists or suffer from some kind of warped elitism. And for those who say that green ammo is abundant, yeah it is.. but that's not the point. The point is BH is a raid weapon with a unique perk and should stay as such. Otherwise, what is the difference between BH and my Efrideet's Spear which also has 3 rounds in the mag and the exact same impact? In fact, my spears can be reforged whenever I want. If they want to nerf the BH that's fine, but not something stupid like changing the white nail perk. Instead, something like decreasing the amount of reserve ammo would be wiser. /end rant.
