Bring back Ammo Synths!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, WTF is this BS that we can't buy ammo synths to take into battle? The game is NOT in any way dropping enough ammo in the Raid!!! There is no reason whatsoever to not let us stock up on whatever ammo we think we need and have it at our disposal! The timer keeps it in check. BRING BACK AMMO SYNTHS!!! EDIT: For those referring to power ammo, no where in my post did I say power. This is about ALL ammo synths. In the raids primary and secondary are also slim to none. Here's the thing, ammo synths only apply to PVE which means it makes absolutely NO difference to the players who are saying it isn't needed. How about we put them back in the game and those who don't want them can simply don't buy them. EDIT #2: Bungie please note the overwhelming support of this and take it into consideration... sooner rather than later please.

    When they eliminated the 'bullet sponge' aspect to a lot of the game, they eliminated the need to have synths. Besides, heavy drops like crazy for me. I do tend to run out of kinetic ammo fairly often, but, I think the game penalizes you for sticking to one type of weapon all the time. No facts, just a feel. I also use a scout like a slow shooting auto rifle, so... yeah. ;)

    Hi. The only time I feel like ammo may actually be an issue would be during the raid. However, I've spent quite a few hours in this raid, and indeed have completed it. At no point during my runs did I feel that ammo was an issue. This new system of two primaries counters the problem we had in D1. During D1, ammo was more common, and we only had 1 primary, which meant only a few shots of special and a few shots of heavy. However, now that we have two primaries, this is hardly an issue. At no point in the raid should you be in a state of having no ammo. However, I wouldn't oppose an increase in the drop rate of kinetic/energy ammo, as it does run low sometimes and force me to use one of the other. At the pools, you need heavy to kill the bathers, right? Well, the bathers have a very high chance at dropping heavy ammo. You also have that extra ally with you, so worse case scenario, they can kill it for you. Stepping off your pad for a few seconds isn't going to be a wipe, unless you aren't doing the fight correctly. At the dogs, you just need to spam them. The enemies leading up to the mechanics should drop enough ammo to fill your guns up, so you'll be going into the fight with at least close to full ammo. Since you have 4 attempts to kill your dog, loading all your heavy into it the first run should do enough damage for your kinetic/energy to finish it off the next 2-3 runs. Even they aren't enough, you have your grenade/melee/super, as well as allies to help once they kill theirs. At the gauntlet... I don't even feel I need to mention this actually. Plenty of enemies and barely any need to fight. Shooting the arrows takes barely any ammo. The last boss is where I suppose people have the most trouble. Burning those incendiors (whatever they're called) and the two other enemies that spawn, does take a good amount of ammo. However, all the ads you kill between phases will refill your ammo after DPSing the boss. You'll have more than enough heavy if your team manages to kill all 4 Psions before being teleported to the 'void.' The only time I ever actually ran out of ammo during this raid was during the DPS phase on the boss. However, once you're done you can just melee a dog or two and get ammo back. It really isn't an issue. Ammo synthesis are not necessary. If anything, they can buff the ammo drop rate by a small amount. If you're consistently running out of ammo, then I'm sorry to say, but you're doing something wrong. In simplest terms... it's user error.

    • I quit when I run dry, all guns. Happens 3 times, I’m out. I play for fun not frustration! Life’s too short to waste time on hope. In a War, battles aren’t won with empty guns...

      • We don't need them, whatsoever. May as well ask for end game very easy mode.

        I really haven't had any problems with running out of ammo, but I could be down with them adding synths. Probably because... 1. It wouldn't hurt/hinder my gameplay at all. So it wouldn't bother me. 2. I'm not the the type that thinks I'll look cool, or somehow better than those who want it, if I say, "No!" 3. I don't think I'm an edgelord/hard@ss, wanting people to experience inane difficulties, just because I'm not having a difficulty with that particular thing. 4. Even though I haven't had a problem with ammo myself, I have an open mind. I can imagine that there are situations/reasons for people to run out of ammo, that I myself haven't experienced. I don't think that everyone else in the world should be having the same exact experience as me; and that if they don't, that means they suck, or aren't doing it right. I have a good... oh what's that word? Oh yeah, a good level of "understanding". My head isn't stuffed inside of my own anal orifice. 5. If someone on my team runs out, I believe it would actually help me out, if they didn't have to die, or risk wiping us, just because they happen to run out of ammo. But, that's just me. I guess I'm probably just not cool. Oh darn! What ever will I do?

            Ammo is really an issue in the raid final encounter. There were occasions I was using nothing but harsh language lol. Don't reveal spoiler if you ain't got to the final boss. [spoiler]Seriously though, if you're one of the ones in the shadow realm there's next to no drops and you expend lots. My dps on Callus was very affected by having to spend time punching hounds to get some ammo[/spoiler]

          • I do feel that Ammo Synths should be brought back. Maybe you could only get them as rewards from activities or just let us buy em from Xür or other venders! Ammo Synths were awesome and I usually run out of ammo fairly quickly! #Bringemback

              small tip for others that struggle to find heavy ammo: majors are guaranteed to drop it (there are [i]some[/i] exceptions to this, but for the most part, anything with a yellow or orange health bar will drop that purple gold.) also I agree with op on this. the fact that they already took away the special slot and then take away synths on top of that makes me feel much less powerful as a guardian. this needs to be changed

            • Or they could just increase ammo drop rates I don't like the idea of sitting around waiting for ammo synths.

              • Bring back ammo synths. While doing that can the kiosks be brought back as well please. Oh, and as it was always last gen ps3/xb360 holding vault space back can that be raised above 200. With 'sort by light level' as an option.

              • The thing that gets me is that the enemies, "any that aren't a regular red health bar", that are supposed to drop power ammo without fail.... fail to drop power ammo on a regular basis. Relying on killing them to get more power ammo, and then they don't drop it.... and this is far more frequent in more challenging events, and especially during strikes. FFS, fix this.
