Not just 20%. It also increases the ammo per pickup.

Without Heavy ammo perk: 1 Purple Ammo = 1 Rocket.
With Heavy Ammo Perk: 1 Purple Ammo = 2 Rockets.
With Ruin Wings: 1 Purple Ammo = 4-5 Rockets.

Five Gjallarhorn shots per purple when every enemy has a 20% higher chance of dropping a purple?
That's not just exotic, that's borderline game-breaking.

Observe:

And don't even get me started on Machine Guns. We're talking well over a hundred rounds per Heavy... Heck, I'll show ya in a bit...

274 rounds per heavy for Corrective Measure.
Two Hundred Seventy-Four per...

There are times I wish it did stack, even with the ammo glitch. I would just equip Corrective measure, and hold right trigger until I win.

2. 7. 4.

I know it gives more PER pickup, and for what it's worth, when they do drop and I'm wearing them, the quantity is increased. Though I'm not getting +4 and +5, it's always +3 for rockets. HMG ammo I don't really watch as closely to notice.

Watching your video, it still doesn't seem to pop up as frequently as I would expect it to, though you do get more drops than I get.

I'll see if I can get my youtube account linked up to PSN and run some trials myself.

I'm totally fine if it's all in my head, an incorrect perception, but damnit if it doesn't feel random. There are two configurations I run it with and it almost ALWAYS does poorly on one compared to the other.
