The SURPLUS perk is USELESS in crucible

1.1.2 hit special ammo in the crucible really hard, and disproportionately affects sniper rifles (due to how the weapons use ammo inherently). In preparation for the ammo nerf, I held on to several weapons with the surplus perk. Unfortunately, after doing some testing, I have concluded that SURPLUS is absolutely USELESS in the crucible. The following are ammo pickups in crucible with three very different rifles, with and without armor that increases ammo carrying capacity: [u]Praedyth’s Revenge[/u] (base mag = 4) Field scout + armor = 6 Field scout – armor = 6 NO field scout + armor = 6 NO field scout – armor = 4 [u]Longbow Synthesis with SURPLUS[/u] (base mag = 5) Field scout + armor = 6 Field scout – armor = 6 NO field scout + armor = 4 NO field scout – armor = 3 [u]Efrideet’s Spear with SURPLUS (base mag = 3)[/u] …I didn’t have field scout on this rifle NO field scout + armor = 6 NO field scout – armor = 4
