Because 60 seconds spawns isn't enough? Learn to primary your primary, not your secondary....

  • I primaried my primary for years. But I relied on my special to back it up. That's why this change is such utter garbage: it punished people who used their special properly, right along with spammers. Not only that, but it caused both my Titan and my hunter to adopt non-primary centered playstyles, simply because while they're fine with using a primary, going into battle with nothing but a primary didn't work for them. Too much like going to work without pants on.

  • It doesn't punish anyone, because ammo is there every 60 seconds lol

  • The problem is that I'm not there to pick it up every 60 seconds

  • It doesn't matter. When I die, my special weapon is useless upon respawn. Ergo, there are times withon the events of normal gameplay that it will not function. Therefore, it's not reliable. An unreliable weapon has no place in my loadout. In theory, a player can pick up over 100 rounds of special ammo in the course of a match (they just lose most of them). I'd gladly trade that for 10-15 shots I can depend on.

  • That's what makes it special, if you had it all the time and on spawn, what's so special about that? Be back to using special weapons as primary weapons again....

  • A special weapon is not a power up, and I refuse to treat it or regard it as such. A special weapon is a supplement to the primary, to be used in situations when the primary is a poor choice. Ammo for it need not be abundant, but it should only have zero bullets in it when it's been fired empty.

  • Lots of people do. They feel that a mediocre special that has ammo is better than a good one that's empty half the time. But it's a piss-poor solution to a problem that shouldn't have existed.

  • 1. You should always have special ammo 2. This ammo economy has f***ed trials- which may be what he is referring to.

  • Yea, special weapons for special circumstances. Guess what happens now though- in those special circumstances over half the time I dont have ammo anymore... When you use your special weapon should be based around situation, not ammunition.

    In crucible I use a found verdict literally almost every game and I agree whenever I need special it's right there with 15 seconds or less. Nothing needs to be done to special ammo and bungie has no plans to. People just need to suck it up, stop whining about shit that they can't control and play the damn game the way it is

  • Perhaps 'cause only using your primary is freakin boring?! Or because I would like to 'git gud' with a sniper so I stand half a chance in ToO. Oh, I know, I can use Ice Breaker and discard month of grinding for a nice roll longbow. Why don't you play with your primary and let me play with whatever I want?

  • Yep, it has been allot of fun running around looking for special ammo that hasn't been acquired by 11 other guardians already. Bungie really added a fun factor there...

  • Looking for it? It's on your radar, if you have to look, then you don't know your maps and surroundings. Which I guess is why all other 11 players have special ammo but you, as you said yourself.....
