I am new to Destiny, and recently purchased the Hawkmoon primary from Xur. When hovering over the weapon, it shows two perks - both "Holding Aces" which read "Two more random bullets in your magazine deal considerable bonus damage.". Since there are two of these perks, I was led to believe a total of 4 random bullets in my magazine would deal bonus damage.
However, after purchasing and looking at the perks, it only shows one (1) "Holding Aces" and one (1) "Luck in the Chamber". Although I am fairly new to Destiny, I have compared to all other exotic weapons I own and each unique perk is listed on holding cursor over the item for a quick detail. For some reason, that's not the case with Hawkmoon.
Please see the linked images for example, and please give players two Holding Aces as that's what we thought we were paying for when we got the gun from Xur!

I believe this had to do with the last Hawkmoon perk nerf. Before that update, even though the Luck in the Chamber perk couldn't stack with the Holding Aces perk, the Holding Aces perk could stack on one bullet. Then there was an update that made it so Holding Aces could no longer stack on the same bullet anymore. As a visual result, the perk appears to show twice when the cursor is above the weapon, but the perk is actually not doubled.

It doesn't give more lucky shots, it's just a glitch

Interesting. I have also been under the assumption that I have 4 rounds in each mag that deal additional damage.

Sadly its just a text error. The gun only has one 'holding aces' perk and one 'luck in the chamber' perk.
