As a programmer, seems like a pain... (Destiny)

This sounds correct. Probably have a Guardian object or model and for whatever reason they can't store the ammo params and pass it into the new object. I wonder why they chose to destroy the Guardian on death (eliminate the current Guardian object) rather than having an `alive` param set to true or false. Although a part of me is curious about this because the Sunsinger can resurrect, so there can't be an immediate destroy method call on the Guardian object.

I've never coded a video game, but as a programmer, I have first hand knowledge of unexpected bugs manifesting themselves in complex systems. I also know that I often have to prioritize new features in our upcoming apps over fixing bugs in our apps on prod. If this is the same mode of thinking at Bungie, then I understand why this isn't fixed yet. Since this affects two of my characters, I'd like to see it fixed, but I'm not holding my breath.
