So everyone knows the artifact allows you to carry extra sword ammo. At the moment I believe the max for sword is 81/82 without the artifact. With the artifact I believe it goes up to 101/102. However, when the artifact is equipped the ability of carry more sword ammo doesn't work UNLESS the sword is in your hand. If the sword is stowed away and you walk over heavy it doesn't add the ammo to your total. Bungie please fix, thanks.

Edited by RiDONkulous: 11/4/2016 4:46:02 PMIf you can find a special with surplus, use this as well. In case old guardians forgot or new guardians never knew this doubles ALL ammo drop types. I have a sniper with surplus and use Memory of Radegast. I get 50-51 ammo per brick. In my experience this is MUCH better than using the raid gauntlets as Scavenger's Boon (again for those of you who don't know) CANCELS surplus as well as makes heavy drops SMALLER than normal (9 sword ammo the other day during aksis from purple brick). Edit: If you can't roll a special with surplus, it's more of a pain but a heavy with surplus will do as well. Ammo bricks retain their capacity from when they are GENERATED, not from when they are PICKED UP. So if you use a heavy, make some bricks, switch to sword, and then pick up the bricks, you will also get 50-51 per brick.
