Edit: Turns out this might not be any sort of bug, it's actually intentional! Amazing! Bungie, please don't nerf it. It is balanced by the kill-requirement and low reserves. It really chews through ammo. My title is saying, you should have hyped this up more! It feels great!
No wonder people looked at your exotic changes and just saw them as small bugfixes/QoL upgrades. Merciless is such a beast right now I have half a mind to think it's bugged. It's performing so well!
Here are the two missing patch notes you need to know:
Removed the on-kill removal of Conserve Momentum(Edit: Nevermind that was actually in the patch notes. I thought they just extended the timer by 5 seconds. Super awesome though! That means it's intentional!)Merciless now gains stacks of Conserve Momentum for each bolt landed, up to x15
Along with it's built-in hidden Feeding Frenzy perk, and pre-nerf Kill Clip (+66% damage on reload), this is a f*cking monster.
It now only takes TWO shots (out of 8) to reach extremely fast charge times, so fast that when you reach x15 it's basically an instant on-fire command at max stacks.
The stacks you've gained no longer expire on kill, despite what the gun's still-existing description text tells you, meaning that once you just fire off two volleys you can clear entire rooms, burst down champions, destroy majors, all in the same magazine, reload super fast because it has Feeding Frenzy, then just effortlessly keep mowing people down with an insane:
66% damage boosted
High impact
Instantaneous charge time
Ultra-fast reloading
8 Magazine liquefier
Like holy sh*t Bungie, have some faith in your sandbox team. This gun feels downright broken, and I'm talking like Pocket Infinity levels of broken. It's a long-boy Fourth Horseman.
Tell us this stuff next time. I would have never known if I didn't read some random person in a youtube comment mentioning this.
