Must test this! (Destiny)

He also said he doesn't think it was always like this, must have been some glitch with HoW patches/updates. I can however remember seeing gunslingers in the past rolling from super to super. Maybe it was always there and we just don't notice because of how few folks run that specific combo.

I've been thinking about this a bit more, and I did some investigating. On DestinyTracker, on my Hunter, I have a K/D of 1.57, and K+A/D of 2.01, which are in the top 10% and 9% of players, respectively. However, I have 3.28 ability kills per game (for some reason not a tracked statistic), and also 3.80 orbs dropped per game, which is in the top 3% of players. For comparison, my Warlock has pretty much the same K/D, but only 2.92 ability kills per game, and only 1.98 orbs dropped per game (top 40%). Of course, it's way harder to get Super kills as a Warlock then it is as a Gunslinger, so it's hard to attribute everything to this grenade thing.

Also, since I've been running swarm grenades since the Beta, and have pretty much been using the Symbiote helmet since I got it month 1, it's disconcerting that I wouldn't have noticed this. But, I do seem to get my Golden Gun up pretty often. Now that I'm paying attention, it's hard not to notice. So who knows.
