Bungie decided to make black hammer no longer get free bullets for precision, but just auto reload. However, they upped the ammo count to be able to hold 18 rounds. When you get three precision shots rapidly, MY solution is to make the gun get one free bullet, and draw two from your reserves. That way, you can't just use this gun because you only get 1/3 of the free ammo as before, while using two bullets of your own. You can get a total of 26 bullets with the 18 bullets the gun can now hold, but ONLY if you can get the precision shots as before. What are your thoughts about my solution? (I originally read the stat on the update wrong and thought it was a decrease and calculated the extra bullets of my method with that in mind. However, I have changed it to be correct, and still prefer my method because, although you get a lot of shots, it is not infinite.)

I think they just want us to spend alot more time on boss battles for some reason. Just look what they did to Skolas. They didn't make it any harder just at least 3x as long as it used to be. By nerfing blackhammer, icebreaker, and gjallahorn everyboss is going to take a lot more time to kill. Sure you can use other weapons but why would you want to when you can use whatever weapon gets it done quickest.

Your solution would be fine, but let's really look at Bungie's before we complain. Currently, if a target is stationary enough, or if you're just a very skilled sniper, you can obtain unlimited ammo. This fact makes BH an insane weapon with ridiculous killing power. Now let's think about putting the new BH in that same person's hands. They will still be able to drain 18 precision shots into their target WITHOUT EVER NEEDING TO RELOAD. Out of ammo? Pop a synth or run around for some green boxes and go drain another 18 in the boss. Still seems like a pretty powerful weapon in the right hands to me.. and it's not even an exotic. *drops mic*

2 RepliesEdited by Chief: 7/17/2015 2:59:14 PMFair enough solution, but the white nail is not really the problem. As much as I like your idea about the one free bullet, it's still not the issue. The problem with the Black Hammer is it can stun lock any boss. That is the major issue here. What needs to be done to have this weapon saved, it needs to be nerfed so it does not stun lock every enemy type. We have a Hive Disruptor perk on this weapon. Why can it stun lock fallen? or Vex? or Cabal? I don't see a perk for those enemy types. Change the black hammer so it does not stun every enemy type. Have it only stun lock HIVE, as the perk is intended for. That is the proper solution to fixing this weapon.

10 RepliesHonestly, the black hammer and icebreaker nerfs are possibly the dumbest thing bungie has done out of all of the other nerfs thus far.

1 ReplyLet's face it. It kinda is op when you can shoot unlimited rounds at a target who flinches nonstop like the archon priest.

Black hammer was pretty balanced as is. Limited rounds and for skill you got a refilled mag. Some instances were easy, i.e. walkers, valus t'aurc tank mini boss, but other wise some degree of skill was needed
