With special ammo sidearms we now have two special weapon types meant for ad clear, but running double special is not feasible on non-ability focused builds (those builds don't need ad-clear weapons to begin with).
Because of Juggler you'll never see special bricks drop when clearing ads, so you're forced to abandon the whole Armor Charge system and only use Special Finisher.
Now you can make some ammo for specials, but what about heavy, can you reliably get it between damage phases? You really can't - natural ammo drops happen once in more than a minute, ammo phases are too random to rely on them, and Ammo Finders require around 80 final blows when not using a primary.
That's 80 kills to get 1 LFR ammo.
[b]Edit: Special sidearms acrually count as primaries for Finder Mods, so actually usable. Could we please get the same for Traces though?[/b]

Edited by Kouz_MC: 12/15/2023 5:57:28 PMI can run several NF or coil, even the whole new dungeon, without seeing a single brick despite having ammo finder mods equipped and using an exotic primary. Cenotaph and Aeon are pretty much the only reliable ways to get heavies to drop. I wonder what is the level of player loss Bungie needs to think twice? I mean, in the latest TWID they share player data, showing a steep 45% loss in players. So if Bungie misses revenues by 45% while 45% of the core player base is gone, what does that mean to anyone with a positive IQ? Who’s the head at Bungie that thinks: “huh, we need to make the gameplay even more boring so we get players back on track to Eververse!”
