Like and bump this post with an opinion on why removing special ammo was a wrong step toward weapon balancing. I myself would most certainly like to see special ammo back after death in the crucible.

Would love it if they at least allow us to keep 2-3 bullets on respawn for all other special weapons aside from sidearms obviously. I think that would open things up a bit.
-
I actually like that primary weapons are more commonly used, however, I hate that I feel obligated to use IceBreaker. IMO, a good compromise would be to make sure you spawn with at least 3 special shots UNLESS you die with none. I just hate respawning with nothing. But I do like that its much more rare for people to be running around with shotguns as a primary.

My kd has gone up since the change but I just don't enjoy the way the ammo plays out in 3v3. I feel like it takes away from the player fantasy. If I want to run around with plan c non stop, I should be able to.

It was dreadful before they stopped the sidearm ammo stacking but now that's fixed and your special of choice auto reloads it's working pretty well. . Now if only they would reduced the grenade frequency a bit I'd be over the moon. .

It's stupid completely destroys the flow of a game . Let's say a team has no special and the other team has it makes it completely unbalanced. This leads to waiting in front of a special box for ages .(nothing triumphal about that) Special ammo also plays a big part in stopping supers. Sun breaker titans rushes at you , you have your primary no special = dead unless the titan is stupid

Pls. Pls give me special ammo.

Because before the patch you had the freedom to use any special weapon you wanted with no drawbacks, now there are. Absolutely -blam!-ing stupid.
-
Special ammo changes work pretty good in 6v6, but 3v3, especially trials, it is useless. Even if you pick up special mid round and don't die, you don't keep it going to the next round. Why? That is stupid as hell, and it makes ice breakers and sidearms THE ONLY option, since they are the only things that actually have special ammo in a reasonable time (I know invective exists but it takes 30 seconds). If they nerf sidearms or icebreaker, I'd give up on bungie forever.

Shotgun noooooooob

My only issue with it is Icebreaker has become the new special weapon meta. A reduction in ammo regeneration rate IN CRUCIBLE ONLY would fix this. But we all know Bungie would make that change in PvP, but would allow the change to apply in PvE also, essentially making the gun useless. Long story short, the best answer is to just accept the weapon meta as it is right now, and not to expect another change. In Destiny 2, they could solve this problem by not having any weapon in the game that regenerates ammo. Basically, I'm saying to quit crying because the game doesn't exactly fit what you want. Who cares? Don't like PvP in its current state? Then don't play

2 RepliesSpecial ammo boxes are the new control points in "control". Played a few matches yesterday. Both teams were locking down specials closest to heavy. Neither team cared about capping zones. Leads to some dreadfully long matches that end by timer.

1 ReplySigned. I hate the new SA economy. The only sniper it seems you can use now is an Icebreaker. I miss snipers being used a lot. The new meta is about as cancerous as the last one. Also, why can't raid weapons be good? I would like to grind the raid for a PVP god. The last thing I want to do is to waste my time.

3 RepliesI'd really like to see special weapon usage after this update, especially fusions. My bet is that fusions are all but non-existent now. I've been killed by a fusion twice during all of the Iron Banner. I just think they hit special a little too hard.

Edited by Sbuper: 4/18/2017 4:46:50 PMI find the added importance of special ammo crates, and even the lack of ammo itself helps promote more intelligent play. Honestly, did you ever sacrifice yourself to steal enemy special before this change? Or lay down your AOE effects to slow down the enemies special gain? Of course not, special boxes were practically useless outside of trials until now. On a side note, this deals with the common complaint of people going "special commando", and also gives ammo-exotics more value as well. No meta has been perfect, but of them all this one has had the greatest emphasis on smart plays and strategy in my experience (excluding sidearms of course lol)

1 ReplyIdk what your problem is, it forces people to use their -blam!-ing primaries instead of being shotgun warriors. Being a person who has played PVP since release this is so far my favorite fix with special ammo.
