So, like many players, I purchased The Vanity from FWC because the perks are pretty amazing and I wanted another hand cannon with Firefly. After fully upgrading it, my fiance and I were playing the strike playlist, and it crashed completely to the PS4 menu three times.
This has never happened to either of us before, so we started doing some digging to determine why. It wasn't long before I found the problem. Whenever Luck in the Chamber and Firefly stack on the same bullet, the world explodes and crashes the game of whatever poor sap happens to be looking at the time (cool guys don't look at explosions, I know, but I just can't help it). It even crashes the game of unsuspecting fireteam members.
And you know about this, Bungie. You've known for quite some time. You've personally replied to some of the many Reddit threads complaining about the issue (Cozmo "reported it to the team" three months ago). And instead of fixing it, you decide it's a swell idea to allow a vendor to keep selling it. This is a game-breaking bug that makes one of the best hand cannons in the game completely unusable.
I'd love to be able to use it before the next DLC completely invalidates this weapon, so can we please fix it already? :)

We've gone through a similar issue with armor perks last year and the whole disappearing heavy ammo on respawns. That took a long time to fix because of how things interacted. Most likely they need to rewrite the entire damage calculation coding to fix the issue because of the cascading memory failure that results from those two perks interacting. That's likely millions of lines of code, and they have to make sure any fixes don't have unintended consequences elsewhere. That takes time. Until then, we know it is an issue, and the easy fix is to not use the one or two guns that have these perks together.
