Lmao you keep all sidearm ammo?

Bungie is retarded and whoever convinced MS to let them keep their halo shootman feel code is the real and only MVP

This I don't get, it would have been fine if you just respawned with 18 rounds (or whatever) every time. They'd still be far more useful than before.

I'm willing to bet they couldn't figure out the ammo code for sidearms and instead of breaking their free ammo perk entirely, they just let them keep full inventory.

Remember how long it took to fix the heavy ammo glitch? Not sure I want them rooting around in that stuff.

So the stormcaller melee doesn't have anything to distinguish it from an uncharged melee attack now (excepting perks)?

I'll switch to shoulder charge if it makes no difference now to how many bullets I can survive.

I can never remember what the +armor chest gives. I just remember salt from people who couldnt shoulder charge me.

We can easily test it. Might be on today for some rumble test sessions.

Best patch ever though. They nerfed all the poo poo i loving hate and let my play style alone.

The only nerf my setup got was a little less hp for my max armor titan.

Thank you bungie.

Sorry, my question was poorly formed. If you didn't have any of the melee perks unlocked, what distinguishes a stormcaller's charged melee from an uncharged melee? It now seems to be the only subclass where the melee has no additional benefit before you unlock the modifier perks.

Apparently rangefinder on shotguns now decreases the ADS time:

It's performing opposite of the way they said it would...ADS with rangefinder only takes 8 frames versus 10 without.

Like every class it extends the melee a little bit.

Congrats Bungie, you created a game where people either refuse to engage in fights or use icebreaker. :bravo:

Hopefully someone finds a fun meta because this poo poo is a slog, points come in slower and people will straight up run away from fights if they take any damage.


That said, fusions are still loving dirty.
