On Reddit, the possibility is being discussed that in Destiny 2, primary ammo could be made unlimited as early as Season 15. There are 3 hints that support this development.
What is the theory about? Shortly, on August 24, Season 15 will start in Destiny 2. Traditionally, with the season update, various changes come into play – such as a comprehensive adjustment of numerous class abilities or a sliding nerf.
Many of these changes are actively discussed by the community. From the combination of some adjustments, an exciting and widely discussed theory arises. Fans see signs that Guardians could be running around with unlimited primary ammo already in Season 15.
Why Guardians could soon have unlimited primary ammo
This is the theory: The theory assumes, as mentioned at the beginning, that primary ammo could become unlimited in Season 15 – something many Guardians have been calling for quite some time.
The theory is primarily based on changes to 3 perks:
- in the weapon perk magazine
- in overcoming inertia from the middle path of the Striker Titan
- and the already implemented change in the weapon perk Outlaw
In combination, and particularly regarding primary weapons, many Guardians see these changes as clear indications of potentially unlimited primary ammo – also because Bungie has hinted twice at a still unknown change regarding primary ammo.
Magazine: The magazine is no longer rolling on new weapon drops, as its functionality will be changed later. In Season 15, there will be a change for which the perk needs to be adjusted – as well as some perks with similar functionalities. The interesting part is: Magazine is the only perk where you actively lose ammo when reloading. The perk causes the magazine to be expelled when reloading, wasting ammo but significantly increasing reload speed.
Overcoming inertia: Recently, Bungie also announced that there will be changes to the Overcoming inertia perk of the Striker Titan in Season 15. This basically ensures that when sliding over ammo (including primary), certain bonuses are obtained. On the one hand, the equipped weapon is reloaded, and on the other hand, weapon damage is temporarily increased. This perk will soon receive the following buff:
- Duration increased from 4 to 6 seconds.
- Sliding over an ammo block now grants 20 % melee energy.
However, the studio emphasizes that this substantial buff will be balanced by something that has not yet been mentioned. More info should follow in a future TWaB blog.
Many users see this buff as a kind of compensation for the potentially unlimited primary ammo and the resulting rarer triggering opportunities due to scattered ammo boxes, which would affect the overall effectiveness of the perk. Because primary ammo is currently found most often while playing.
Outlaw: This perk causes the magazine to partially reload from reserves when defeating enemies. A negative effect of the perk was removed some time ago: The reserve ammo is no longer reduced with the triggered reload.
What do you think about all this? Do you also believe that we could be running around with unlimited primary ammo in Season 15? Or do these theories and their arguments sound too far-fetched to you? Let us and other readers of MeinMMO know in the comments.
