Please read it complete to the end and Upvote it for more fun with these nice Weapons.
And I know there are definitely enough people who just downvote everything and generally find every idea bad and don't think about it for a second, that persons who see the title and instantly downvote it that nothing are changing (you can tell from the poll if everyone voted for special ammo)
First of all, so that nobody gets the wrong idea, I don't think divinity should have infinite ammo.
The Exotic Trace Rifles can use special ammo if you want.
I'm mainly interested in the legendary trace rifles. The playstyle of these weapons is very similar to primary weapons, but still consumes so much ammo that you are forced to switch to an MP or hand cannon. The effort in comparison to the benefit is far too high. I tested it myself what you have to do to use a Legendary Trace Rifle as your primary weapon (for 2 minutes until you run out of ammo)
1x tracer rifle ammo finder + 1x special ammo finder (shotgun, sniper etc. 2nd weapon, tested everything, also primarily weapons with 2x tracer rifle finder)
2x Trace Rifle Looters and Luck.
After 4 minutes the fun with trace rifles in general ends as far as ammo goes, after that you can play the CoC Goblin and search for ammo.
Furthermore in PvP.
Trace Rifles have the same ttk as Aggressive Pulse Rifles (450 4 burst).
But you have a small disadvantage. This ttk of 0.73 seconds (according to Bluebarrys.gg) is almost impossible to achieve.
1. The magazine almost doesn't have enough for a kill.
2. The enemy only needs to take cover once and the ammunition is no longer sufficient.
The ttk I've measured is 1 second, with trace rifles performing worse than a 140 hand cannon.
3. Team shots makes it impossible to hit consistently with the tracer rifle.
In my opinion, there is no justification for Legendary Trace Rifles using special ammo.
So I'm asking Bungie to revisit tracer rifles specifically (that aren't called divinity) and see if the special ammo is appropriate in the CURRENT time.

The only reason I don't use trace rifles is because of ammo economy. Its just not worth it given my play style.
