He is correct, but it's not a full refill, just a partial...like 30% to full capacity I think.
For which, the running out of ammo or dying in Nightfall? If the latter that is really good to know for when I start running them.

The "run out of ammo" thing is a red herring though. Running out of ammo means you've been pelting a boss with your primary weapon instead of shooting rockets at it which is what the extra ammo allows you to do.
In the nightfall you won't receive heavy ammo when being revived, only primary. But I always just use that to kill the smaller adds (acolyte, thrall, etc) and then pick up heavy ammo from them. I've never once used Ammo synthesis in the 2 times I've gone through Nightfall.
Okay... um. *shrug* Being able to do it without using them doesn't mean it's not a good idea. You can cut down on your boss kill times significantly using these.

Do you guys prefer Stalker or Hungering Blade for PvP? Stalker helps with the whole invisibility on demand build, but hungering blade is good for those "need a quick recovery" after you just got into one of those meeee brawls with people.

Well ok... I'm not gonna spend my hard earned glimmer on ammo synthesis when I don't need to. I'd rather level up the Cryptarch for more legendaries :p To each their own.

Of all the requested changes and ideas for improvement people have talked about I really wish I could simply hide my characters helmet on planets with atmosphere (or all the time if you're an exo I guess). After playing through a good chunk of the game with everyone wearing the exact same helmet and same style armor visiting the tower and seeing what people actually look like is such a breath of fresh air.

Yes, it's for running out of ammo. It fills primary and secondary ammo each to 30ish% capacity. I think special is included too, but not positive though.

I agree that we need a reporting system, even if it's done solely through Bungie.net.

Also, I've been lucky all my randoms have been quite good in the Vanguard Strikelist. They've been way better than randoms in the normal matchmaking for individual strikes.
 
This whole Xur thing makes me realize just how impatient I am when it comes to leveling up. I probably should of just waited until he comes back before spending all my marks on faction gear, so I don't need to spend marks on which ever slot is my exotic. Kind of banking on a Sunsinger exotic helmet now. Would of definitely got those gauntlets that extend the Sunsinger grenade duration last time if I had enough coins at the time.

Is Xur only guaranteed to have an item for each class, but nut subclass? Would suck to have to wait another whole week if he had nothing for my subclass, Sunsinger, and I'm really not interested in the Void Walker.

Anyone want to help me grind out 500 Void points for my exotic bounty? It's fucking frustrating and I'm 213/500 right now.

I don't know how someone can help you lol. I mean, sure they can stand still and let you kill them but that's going to be piss slow. I feel you may as well have fun and enjoy rumble.

I got a really cool Astrolord Vest from a Legendary Engram, but it's for Hunter class and I'm Titan. I suppose I could store it in my vault for whenever I go through the Hunter class, but I really wish the game had trading.

If I dismantle it, what will I get?

Same here dude. I ended up buying boots from the Vanguard because I'll be damned if Xur comes out having some golden kicks for 13 Strange Coins.

I'm hoping he has the Sunbreakers again. I'm a Sunsinger Warlock and I need them in my life.
 
Question about end game armor

If I have one armor upgrade that gives more auto rifle ammo (helmet), if I equipped another piece of armor (chest) will the ammo be increased twice or is there a limit?
 
Well ok... I'm not gonna spend my hard earned glimmer on amo synthesis when I don't need to. I'd rather level up the Cryptarch for more legendaries :p To each their own.

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!!

But seriously, I agree with you that there are many ways to skin the proverbial cat in this game. I think that's one of the main draws for me.
 
How many hours till Xûr appears in the Tower?



How did you get legendary/exotic gear so fast?
bought the exotic gauntlets from xur when he was in the tower. then I bought chest armor from the crucible handler and pants from the vanguard. guess I got pretty lucky getting the crucible helm from an engram. ended up finding a better piece of chest armor in the raid.

Xur is coming tomorrow for a while. Anyway to grind strange coins? Or even motes of light? Im getting those from engrams.

I have a single legendary item. A scout rifle called the A.1F19X-RYL. It seems okay but it's really impossible to get attached to a weapon that's called A.1F19X-RYL...lol

To each their own indeed... I just hope you get that you're playing the lotto. I suppose I don't even consider Glimmer "hard-earned" in the first place, it drops like rain XD And at 950 per heavy ammo pack and 2000+ per green engram it's tough for me to call it anywhere close in terms of an investment.

Faster boss kills from more continuous heavy weapons fire mean you're on to the next thing earning and burning faster. It also makes them feel less like bullet sponges. I hope that anyone who joins a fireteam with me will consider bringing heavy ammo synthesis with them on our strikes! :)
 
So that Vanguard bar (the circle bar), I just filled that. Does that mean I'm Vanguard Rank 2?

And I went to the Vanguard quartermaster...so many marks...no way am I gonna get all that without dumping too much time in it.

Please based bungie. Please don't change this bastard's inventory tomorrow. I need those sunbreakers.

Wat

It's Xur, not the cryptarch.

Lol, you must've missed back in the thread where folks were speculating the Cryptarch was running a scheme passing himself off as Xur/a different person to get us to buy Exotics.
