Why to Have an Uncommon Sniper Rifle During a Nightfall
Okay, now that the title got your attention, let me explain this a bit more in def. So a few days ago I was running around with my lowest level character who hasn't even reached level 20 yet, and I came across an uncommon sniper rifle with the "Shoot to Loot" perk. Now, I've never seen this perk before, but it enables you to pick up ammo just by shooting it. So I'll be sniping during a nightfall and bam... out of ammo. I see ammo across the map but it's right next to the boss, lucky me. Dang. And I don't really want to use a special ammo synth, so I just equip my amazing uncommon sniper rifle and I snipe that nice looking green ammo, and then my magazine is relieved of its hunger. (Found some heavy ammo nearby as well) Then I switched back to by regular sniper and repeated. Has anyone else been lucky enough to come across a weapon with this perk? It is such a blessing!

It's a useful perk sometimes. I find it most useful on a Scout. You only lose one round of primary when switching back and forth, but on a special, it's more like a 50% loss. BTW, you used to be able to shoot an ammo brick multiple times. This meant you could completely fill up on heavy ammo from a single heavy drop. The problem was, it worked in PvP, so bungie patched it to only allow one pick up per ammo brick. Since then, I deleted all but one Shoot to Loot, a Rare Primed midnight Scout.
