Did my first run last night and noticed that if you are immune to the essence and you're near a teammate that has it, you can't reload your weapon, since square reloads and absorbs the essence. I had to go out of my way just to reload my weapon, and sometimes got killed because of this. Bungie needs to patch this imo.
EDIT: As stated in this thread, issue only presents itself if you are IMMUNE.

Realized this for the first time in my 10 completions yesterday.. Proceeded to empty my magazine. Problem solved.
-
Here's a tip: MOVE
-
Why are you holding the button to reload? Just tap and it will reload. Same as picking up the Chalice in CE NM.
-
Dude just empty your clip on minions
-
Just shoot all the ammo in the clip, automatically reloads for you. Or just walk away because you are immune and do it.
-
Wow. After this post Im convinced that over 90% of the people on here are just plain stupid beyond belief! I'm a nice guy and believe in not putting people down, but I just can't take the absolute stupidity that I keep reading on this forum.
-
I thought my X button was jammed. thanks for letting me know I was genuinely worried
-
So that why I couldn't Reload and I'm like what the hell I just purchased this new controller. Thanks for the heads up.
-
Unload the clip, tap the button, jump, dont run out of cover. All very simple ways to fix this.
-
Are you serious? Just...move and reload! You have to be fairly close to absorb the essence. Are people really this bad at the game? "The left stick sprints, but it also is used to move backwards, so if I try to back up I sprint forward! Bungie, where's the patch?"
-
All you have to do is jump straight up and hit the square button. As long as you start the reload, it doesn't matter where you are in terms of near the poison.
-
Gosh this post makes me happy, I thought my square button was breaking D':
-
If they patch it then you'll reload when you try to take the essence. It's easier to move away.
-
Frustrating... They got it right with picking up ammo crates, reviving teammates, and every other single thing...
-
I know its sucks
-
I'm glad I'm not the only one pissed off by this.
-
Yeah this is a stupid bug.
-
You could just use all your ammo and auto reload.
-
Pro tip: step to the side
-
Jump?
-
Or you could tap x
-
You have to hold to absorb the essence, to reload just tap square. It's not that hard at all.

Edited by HarambeBL00D: 6/29/2015 10:11:12 PMI hate when you take the essence and then the 3rd person takes it accidentally from you right away because you both tried to take the first persons essence. Oops. Lol
-
I find that if you double press triangle (or y) to switch away then back to your original weapon, you are able to reload.

Edited by CWP350: 6/29/2015 9:43:25 PMJust tap the button. Give it a little tappy, a tap tap taparoo.

This bug is real. Plan accordingly.
