Bungie has two options, one really easy, the other harder but keeping the same systems.

In case you don't know, the problem with the current system is that the extra damage from disruptor perks manifests itself as a separate source of damage. So, you'd fire, and hit a hive major, and your gun would do damage, then additional damage would appear as a separate source, similar to how explosive rounds deals damage + explosive damage. One shot, two numbers.

The problem with Word of Crota and Black Hammer, is that their good perks activate on stringing critical hits. But you can;t string them, because the bonus damage is white, and interrupts the streak.

Easiest fix: Have Hive and Oracle Disruptor perks simply apply a percentage modifier to damage. I know the game can do this, because it applies a 300% modifier when burns are on. Easy fix. There's no need for separate damage sources; you can simply have the gun do 150% (or whatever it is) damage against Hive Majors.

Easy fix: Disruptor damage should not be assigned to the player. Your team mate's getting a body shot doesn't interrupt your headshot streak, because the damage isn't yours. Have disruptor damage come from a source other than your player. The only downside is that you may not get credit if the disruptor damage kills, so in that case just pass the kill credit on to the player.

What's so hard about doing the % modifier fix? You already have code to do it. I'm continually astounded as to the slowness with which Bungie fixes their bugs. I thought you guys were world class.

And we still can't skip cutscenes.

You're making huge assumptions about how burn modifiers and the extra hive disruptor damages are coded. It might be that simple, but it might not be.

The super easy fix: have any damage type trigger the ability, not just precision shots. Mwahahahahahaha.

It might not be as simple as that. This is just pure speculation, but it's possible that burn modifiers are not set per player. It could be a blanket modifier applied to the entire instance. So the code might not actually be in place to add a damage boost to a single weapon on a single player. (The weapons of light modifier proves they can add a damage boost per player, but again they may not have the code in place to modify a specific weapon on the fly).

As far as attributing the damage to another player, that doesn't actually sound like a particularly simple solution to me. Not saying that it isn't doable, but there are no systems for switching attribution in place (that I know of). It could also wreak havoc in PvP.

Pretty much every time I hear the word 'sniper', a good 97% of the time either Black Hammer or LDR is in the same sentence.

People are now making FUN of a weapon they were literally tripping over themselves to get last month. On forums, on websites, in my raid groups, everywhere, people are worshipping the Black Hammer.

I don't have or care about it really, but what is so good/bad about it anyway?
