Okay so the short of the story is this:
I have been playing Inferno Doubles with a friend for a couple of days and for the most part really enjoying it.
I love that there is no heavy ammo spawn, there is no radar, and it is just you, you teammate and your primaries for the first 2 minutes of the match. In its essence it truly feels competitive. The only thing slowing the playlist down is supers, but thats another topic.
So we have encountered more than once, that while in the doubles playlist we know we don't have to worry about shotguns for at least the first ~2 minutes. Except somehow people are able to have ammo for their secondaries on start.
We had a couple of theories that we tested to see how it was possible. Switching to havoc pigeon(or any other sidearm that spawns with ammo) and switching away didn't work, the ammo simply disappears when you switch secondaries. We are pretty sure you cant use ammo synthesis in the crucible, so we don't think its that.
So am I encountering cheaters? Or is there some mechanic I'm unaware of that Is giving them the edge.

Have you considered the option of guns that produce ammo? Like the invective or ice breaker? Just a thought.
