Hmm, Some Ammo perks CAN stack (Destiny)

by Schedonnardus, Texas, Monday, July 06, 2015, 13:38 (3666 days ago)

News to me, i never paid that much attention.

Two pieces of armor with the exact same perk, ie special ammo, won't stack. However, if you have one that gives more special, and one that gives more fusion rifle ammo, they will stack (when using fusion rifle of course) since they are technically different perks.

I'm guessing this would work with sniper as well. Are there any armors that give heavy-specific ammo? I think all of mine is just bonus heavy, not weapon specific.

I don't think I've ever seen a rocket or machine gun specific ammo perk. If it did exist it would probably be on boots, which I think would mean Armamentarium is the only thing it could stack with?

This is really good to know, although seeing a special weapon ammo perk on anything other than a chest is pretty unusual. The OP over there mentions Boots of the Exile which I think is PvP armor. Not sure if there are any PvE boots with that perk.

just looked through my vault. Starfire Protocol, Heart of Praxic Fire has a heavy ammo boost, but nothing that i have gives a specific boost to rockets or heavy machine gun.

Heavy weapon perk stacks with Ruin Wings...

Heavy Weapon perk lets you carry extra Heavy, Ruin Wings increase the amount of Heavy that you get from a drop. Combine that with Surplus and Field Scout (or Surplus AND Field Scout), and you'll never go hungry again.


But no, there are no ammo perks specific to a Heavy Class.

Also, Primary ammo buffs stack

My chestpiece and boots have the regular Auto Rifle ammo boost perk, and they stack. I ran tests, and standing on a white ammo piece with a full gun with just the chest or just the boots, I couldn't hold 999 bullets. With both on, I could pick up the cartridge, and more, up to 999 rounds. I'd imagine that should hold for Scout Rifles, Pulse Rifles, and Hand Cannons, but I haven't actually experimentally verified so.

It's only identical Special and Heavy ammo boosts that don't stack, for balance reasons, I'm guessing.

nice, so when using the mythoclast, i should stack primary perks. Or stack a primary and fusion rifle perk.

Actually, Mythoclast is treated as a Secondary weapon for bounties and stuff like the Small Arms skull, last I heard, so the "Extra ammo for Secondary weapons" might actually apply to it?

There's no generic "Primary weapons get extra ammo" perk that I know of, anyways, it's all stratified into a certain class of weapon.
