That's... like... Crazy broken. (Destiny)

...and since players spawn without special ammo, we barely saw any sniper fire. Most rounds were over before the special ammo had even spawned.

Start with Ice Breaker. Getting a bullet every 6-7 seconds is pretty game breaking for this playlist I believe. After the first round, switch to whatever sniper or shotgun you want during the time between rounds and you'll pretty much be full on special the rest of the game. 6 rounds of ice breaker gave me 18 rounds on my 1kys.

So I knew people could use Icebreaker or Invective to generate ammo, then switch weapons. But I thought the ammo conversion was 1-to-1.
Honestly, I'd be fine with that. But 6 Icebreaker rounds = 18 1kys rounds? How does stuff like this ship?

I'm assuming it's a percentage thing. Six Icebreaker rounds is 100% capacity for that weapon, so when you switch between rounds, you get a full stack of ammo for whatever weapon you switched to.

Icebreaker definitely breaks it a bit, but it makes sense if you're doing something like switching from a sniper to a sidearm. Not sure how they could patch that specifically for Icebreaker, though.

I'm sure this would be controversial, but I feel like you just shouldn't be able to swap special weapons without losing all your special ammo.

I thought you lost half of it. Is that not the way it works anymore?
