You cannot be dead when popping a synth. You have to be alive when popping a synth in order to get ammo.

    Technically this is possible. You can be dead and go to your inventory screen. Then actually "use" a synth of any kind. It will not reward you with the ammo on respawn. It should or it should block you from being able to use the synth while dead. I did it a few times and just remembered not to do it. I think Bungie views it as a unfair advantage. If you could pop snyths while dead and have them apply it would change a lot.

  • that's the issue because it still burns your synth.

  • Thats not an issue. Thats normal. You have to be alive or it doesn't work.

  • ummm... what part are you not understanding. If you can NOT use a heavy ammo synth when you are dead THEN the ammo synth should not be used AND the timer should not be active. Just had this happen to me. I was in a strike, jumped into what I thought was a safe spot to use a heavy and died on the screen. I figured I would try to use the heavy syn while dead so I wouldn't have to jump back into the inventory screen yet again (slow as molasses) and it used the syn, added a timer and no ammo or ability to use another syn.

  • This is exactly how it's intended to work. Consider the consumption of the synth and the cooldown as punishment for using it at the wrong time. :)

  • It's not a bug. It's been in the game since launch, and Bungie has already clarified that going to your inventory to use a synth is supposed to have its risks. If you die while you're in your inventory and use the synth, you won't get any ammo.
