I've been running around with Alethonym ever since the apothecary satchel came back (ty bungie lyvm for that) but it looks like alethonym's reload animation has a slight delay on when the spike pops out of the gun. It also, um, retracts? and then pops out again when special reloading. I believe this isn't under any set circumstance but I was running stasis and had the apothecary satchel as my artifact and ballidorse wrathweavers
