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

Edited by SilverPulse: 12/23/2015 3:47:24 PMTechnically 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. :)

LOL. Lesson learned....none the less...it is still a BUG not a FEATURE. lol

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.
