Ruin Wing problems?
Hey guys,
Getting a little frustrated with my Ruin Wings. Sometimes while wearing them I will go an entire strike with seeing no to 1-2 bricks of heavy ammo drop. Other times they work great and I get lots of heavy, but lately the former has been experienced more often! It's just frustrating to see my friends get numerous drops of ammo (without Wings on) while I get nothing :(
Is anyone else having issues with them?

3 RepliesThe Ruin Wings have the effect that heavy ammo drops more often. It does not guarantee drops, though. I'll show you why. This perk works with the ammo mechanism behind Destiny. Basically, this system works like this: [i]The less ammo you have, the higher the chance ammo drops (but it's not neccessarily 100%). [/i] The game keeps track of all your current ammo and reserves. If one of the ammos (for example primary) is depleted, you have a relatively high chance to get ammo for that type on the next kill. But there are a few variables: - the ammo in total (from [i]all[/i] types) - the type itself Means, that, as long as you have ammo in your speical and heavy, drops for primary ammo are not guaranteed. And the second variable is your problem: heavy ammo has the [i]lowest[/i] "drop chance" of all three types, since heavies are really powerful. Ruin Wings heightens the value of the "heavy ammo drop chance" variable, but still, as long as you have primary and special ammo this chance is pretty low, since you have enough other fire power to vaporize anything in your path. The only point where ammo drops for [b]all[/b] types are guaranteed is when you have no ammo at all. In all your weapons. I hope this little explanation helps!

There has to be some balance. If they worked like the heavy ammo glitch everyone would just blast through every level and strike. I know some people have some issues with them but I love them. I have always got one or two rockets to use when I need them, unless I am blasting away at the boss.

I had the exact opposite problem. Before they even got upgraded all that dropped was heavy. No special. And like 1 primary

I have ruin wings and CE boots. When I pick up a heavy brick, I get 7 rockets. However I have not noticed an increase in the frequency of heavy ammo drops, and now I'm also back to losing 2 rockets (if I was carrying 7) when I go to orbit.

2 RepliesThey are not very consistent I have to agree. But even if you only get a few drops you still pick up 3-5 (sometimes 6) rockets at once.

2 RepliesRan the daily yesterday with them. No heavy drops. Ran two more story missions for bounty kills. No heavy drops. I did try taking them off, killing something, putting them back on, several times. Did not start seeing any heavy.

I think it actually increases the drops for people in your fire team because someone always has it raining heavy when I'm wearing mine but not normally me :P

This happens to me all the time so when I see heavy now I'm like "it's like I'm not wearing ruin wings." It become a joke between me and my friends.

No sadly the ruin wings are inconsistent, however they are working wonders in bursts.
