Polaris Lance Perfect Fifth Bug (?)

Yes, I'm aware of the initial confusion surrounding this quest step revolving around burn DoT and explosions. A number of YouTube videos (that were uploaded around this quest's inception) showcase an entirely different effect when they implement Perfect Fifth perk as opposed to the result I get. These videos suggest a headshot when Perfect Fifth procs and what results is an explosion and the targeted enemy keels over from the damage-over-time burn. However, when I attempt the same tactic, Perfect Fifth just reduces their health by half. I even tried a method of attrition hoping for an AoE burn effect, but that doesn't work either. Perhaps I'm still doing something wrong? Perhaps this two-part quest step can no longer be done simultaneously? I've been at this for hours and I still can't get this Perfect Fifth portion of the quest to progess.

    It is supposed to be the burn, but is glitched right now. This is already mentioned in the known issues thread. Bungie said they are investigating. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/249296041 [quote][b]• Polaris Lance:[/b] We are aware that The Perfect Fifth perk on Polaris Lance does not show the burn[/quote]

    • I think they use Scout Riffle programming subroutine to create Bow. They Nerfed Scout Riffle to get the Bow up. Nameless Midnight is not as good as before. All Scout Riffle sucks now. I don't know how they will solve this. I would like them to put the scout riffle back before Forsaken DLC. Make Bow like a real bow. Curved trajectory and we can see the arrow fly. Has option for fire head arrow. It will be shorter distance but has fire. It means they have to make a new programming subroutine for Bow instead reuse Scout Riffle and modify it.
