SGA: Sleeper Simulant may have devoured or even gained free heavy ammo due to a bug

FOREWORD: This may already be posted, but I didn't see much about it. Sorry in advance. There is a bug with heavy ammo when using Sleeper Simulant. If you pick up a single heavy ammo drop with any other heavy weapon, you can switch to Sleeper Simulant and have full ammo. This sounds nice, but if you have full ammo with the Sleeper, it will give maybe 3 rounds in a machine gun and usually 0 rockets. Just one rocket will give at least 7 shots to the Sleeper from my testing. As I said before, I didn't see much of anything aside from on video somewhere about this, so others are sure to have noticed as I did. I randomly caught on earlier when I switched from my Qullim's Terminus that only had one drop's worth of ammo to my Sleeper. It had full ammo. I was quite surprised. I'd like it to be fixed for the simple fact that I lose all ammo upon switching from the sleeper, so hopefully this post can garner some attention and help some people cheat the game even more. That last part isn't a good thing. Anyways, cheers, good luck, and condolences to any guardians who had ammo devoured by the Sleeper. Edit: Yes, heavy always took ammo upon switch. But a full heavy never gave 2% ammo upon switch. They always give around half. Upon switching to Sleeper, however, you get full ammo. An exploit that needs fixing, right there. Edit 2: 10 rounds in the Qullim's Terminus machine gun will give you 4 Shots with Sleeper. That's a HUGE gain. Definitely not intended at that rate. 7 rounds in the sleeper usually gives me an average of 3 rounds in the machine gun. To reiterate, Sleeper with full ammo gives 3 machine gun rounds in the raid MG. Raid MG with about 18-20 rounds should give full ammo with Sleeper. 1 rocket will give full ammo. You could obtain 7 rockets, shoot 6, then shoot the Sleeper 7 times. There is no way that is intended. TL;DR Take any heavy that isn't the Sleeper and get only a single heavy ammo brick to drop. Grab it and you should have either 2 rockets or a small amount of MG ammo. Just under a magazine. Now switch your heavy to the Sleeper. Its magically full! Now switch back. Its all gone. Unbalanced and kinda sucks if you want to switch from Sleeper with ammo on hand. Seems unintended.

    Its the hidden exotic perk.. so u always have 7 shots when u switch 2 it at the boss?? Wtf dude. U can't even cheese this. The reason it only gives 3machinegun bullets back is because u would have infinite heavy ammo then.. but u cant do that.. so it leads me 2 believe it's the secret exotic perk.
