I think it's stupid that the Black Hammer isn't coming back. I mean come on, there is an easy solution that could have been done if it was too powerful as they said.
Black Hammer - Give it the nerfed White Nail Perk (Landing 3 Precision shots refill the magazine, ammo is pulled from reserve ammo), but also give the perk Increased Reserve ammo.
Black Spindle - Give it the original White Nail Perk (Landing 3 Precision shots refill the magazine, ammo not pulled from Reserves) but give the perk Decreased Reserve ammo.
There, problem solved Bungie. Black hammer works like Black Spindle does now, but with increased reserve ammo (since the ammo is pulled from reserve) while Black Spindle works how Black Hammer does now only with decreased reserve ammo (since the old White Nail Perk basically gave Inf Ammo).

If they did, umm... well it would remove black spindle so I guess it makes sense... 😐
-
Had a thread with the same idea trending for about 4-5 days before this live stream. No response from bungie at all. They don't -blam!-ng care
-
I've said this myself a few times. It's said that you have to give up an exotic slot for a gun that's worse than a legendary used to be
-
I've suggested this solution myself a few times, and I still think that's how they should do. Especially since special ammo reserves were nerfed. Since elementals will only be exotic, we need a powerful sniper to pair it with. Not everyone has a god roll 1KYS...
-
It was too good in PvE. It went from must-have to being very helpful in situations where it worked.
-
If they thought TDB-era White Nail was fine, they would have kept it in Black Spindle.
-
or... put a sidearm in the loot table to replace it.
-
Or make black spindle only have 3or 4 bullets in the mag, no reserves. Perk: If 3 shots are precision 3 shots are refunded. CANT HOLD RESERVE AMMO.
-
Or give it Phantom Gift or Triple Tap
-
Ehh I'm fine with its removal. One less thing in CE to grind for may make them Exotic Raid primaries more common....
-
Were not getting it back. The new solution spindle is completely fine.
-
Honestly I don't know why it didn't have the original white nail perk from the start. Even the damn grimour card indicates it should have. It's not better than the BH as is it was just a BH wasting an exotic slot.
-
Its fine. Bringing black BH would be a silly move since it is the exact same as black spindle. No reason to have 2 of the same weapo in the game
-
If they bring it back it still won't be used in crucible because it will have no special ever so people won't complain about it.
