Glaive Melee no longer counts for weapon leveling

So just today I finally decided to level a Nezarec's Whisper I've been looking at, since I finally have a use for an Arc Glaive right now, but I'm finding it to be incredibly slow. I figured out that melee kills made by a glaive no longer count towards weapon leveling, even though they used to, and they still track melee kills on the kill tracker. It makes leveling this glaive unbearably slow, especially since the Haunted weapons have really weird level requirements for perks, and I feel like that's probably a bug or unintended, since it feels really bad.

  • Just equip it, especially, for special or power weapons, run activities that give xp.

  • Glaives have largely been rendered useless for their primary function. What they should have done, if this was their goal, was give the player a sort of magic staff that can shoot bursts of energy and create a shield. They created a spear, it's primary funciton should be as a spear, If you actually try to use the glaive as a glaive, you are just going to get wrecked. "well the blade doesn't take ammo" then give you a choice to consume your "shield" to empower your blade with elemental energy or other effects instead of an umbrella. They made an active effort to make glaives an atractive weapon to look at, interesting on paper, but useless in many ways in effect. Yeah the shield is good and well in certain situations but as a melee weapon it is trash.

  • Bungie “fixed” another bug by making the quality of life worse? Imagine my shock.

  • Yeah special weapon leveling is horrific, but specific weapons have many issues due to ammo, mainly glances. Even with the buff, it’s harsh leveling them. Unsurprised glaive melee kills count as a melee instead of weapon kill, it’s probably why it would work with Synthos on titan.
