So I don't know how many of you have noticed, but while waiting to respawn sometimes it's handy to Chuck a synth on for your heavy or special ammo, my self and a few people I know have done this, the synth gets taken and you enter the 5 min cool down period but upon respawn it hasn't actually added any ammo
I went back into the inventory and the synth has been taken but not rewarded
-
The synth will always be taken from your inventory if used but if you are dead there is simply no one to transfer ammo to because well you're dead so don't waste them when you're dead and I'm very certain bungie has no plan of changing that anytime soon
-
like many have said, this ins't new, has been around since day one.. when you are dead you cannot pop a synth to save you time and are punished for it.
-
Yeee you can't really use it while you're dead, or in orbit. The ammo won't properly refill, and as you know you're stuck waiting an additional 5 minutes.

Its been like that since y1. I remember first doing this on Crota while waiting to respawn and poof no ammo but used synth.
