I came here to talk about my problem, not because I want all of you to feel sorry for me but because I need to start changing. Yes, I reload too often and I have come to terms with who I am and am ready to fight for a new me. It's a serious problem you see, every single time I'm done pew pewing I hit the X button. Even if I only shoot one bullet I reload and it gets me killed more often than I'd like to admit. Please. Help me get over this terrible habit I beg you. its an addiction and sooner or later it's going to lead to sprinting around every corner.... DON'T FALL INTO THIS TERRIBLE CHASM. BE READY FOR EVERY ENCOUNTER YOU GET YOURSELF INTO. DON'T GET CAUGHT WITH YOUR PANTS DOWN [spoiler]and no magazine in your gun[/spoiler]
Thank you all for your time. Now excuse me as I stare at my motion sensor and fall off the map.
Edit 1: About the Author
Punisher24689 was an avid year 1 destiny player. He was there when Xur sold Gjallerhorn for the first time but thought why "spend strange coins on a stupid rocket launcher". His first love was The Last Word, "dude this thing makes me look like a -blam!-ing cowboy g'damn" and it remained a faithful firearm until the end. Problems started when he received a Fatebringer. It's outlaw perk led to quick reloads - and lots of them. He became a frequent reloader with other weapons, fearing paranoia of not having enough bullets to kill that one hunter who keeps blinking all over the place. He was able to manage Trials of Osiris well, using the Y-09 Longbow Synthesis to SNIPE THE -blam!- OUT OF THOSE REVIVES WHOO unfortunately he got into the habit after reloading only after one shot. Coming from an extensive Halo and Battlefield background, punisher had it ingrained in his mind to press the reload button after every kill or kills. Using quick reloading weapons helped but it wasn't enough from saving him running into a blueberry with an autorifle who filled his face with bullets. In one fateful Trials match, punisher faced two opponents with both his teammates down on the other side of the map. Quickly dispatching of one enemy and then hitting the other with his favorite sniper he was confident in a one hit kill with his Jewel of Osiris. We could say that hubris was his downfall, as he put one shot into he thought he would have gotten the kill and instinctively reloaded. He lost the match.
Literally haven't played in a year. I just really like these forums.
Be honest. Have you been reloading lately?

Your build should be this: Gunslinger w/ Chain of Woe (Gunslinger's Trance optional, but helpful) Any guns with high reload speeds having these perks: Outlaw, Triple Tap, and DEFINITELY Reactive Reload. Now, you don't have to worry about always reloading. It can be a GOOD addiction!
-
I think a good step toward recovery is first admitting that you have a problem. I salute you.... I, too, reload more often than I should. It started slowly. Just reloading with friends.... no big deal.... But after a while I was spending hours reloading. Looking for perks like Outlaw and Spray and Play.... One of the things that helped me was the Cocoon perk on Kings Fall weapons. But that led to other problems. I began switching guns that weren't raid weapons when they were empty and when I switched back they were still empty! This led me to other problems.... We are all in this together. One day at a time.../

I do this all the time with a 5-bullet-magazine Ill Will with base reload speed. It's impossible to get a multi-kill for me.

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible

Hi, I've been clean of this reload addiction for 2 years. My trick was putting tape over my reload button so I could only reload once my mag was completely empty. Do let it consume you
-
Get them Transversive Steps on a Warlock. You'll be loaded up all the time.
-
I caught myself doing this during the lantern phase of Crota's End with Bad Juju. Almost got myself killed a few times.
-
You aren't the only one caught in this trap I've been an addict since beta couldn't survive wrath of the randle without dying while reloading.
-
Use red death. I have the same issue
-
I am addicted as well. Even when there is no backup ammo in my fusion rifle, i pull out the mag after each shot and put in a new one, to find out the mag is no more full than before.

Edited by BRB-Rob: 11/24/2016 11:46:35 PMGet reactive reload on some gun with a super fast reload and it'll work wonders!
-
Bad juju my friend , and it's viable even in this meta ;)

Hello Punisher24689.
-
This is awesome, because this is me too...where's the support group meetings!!
-
Edited by zJDz: 11/24/2016 11:36:28 PMYou need weapons with outlaw or feeding frenzy. No need to change. Just use weapon perks that help your habit. Or just practice it a few games.
-
Same. I reload after every kill even if there's a second enemy shooting at me
-
Hi punisher24689
-
*everyone else in unison* "Hi punisher24689"
-
I used to forget to reload after pew pew, so I would die all the time after just pew.

I'm addicted to not helping my friends in raid

Hi Punisher. I am also a reload addict. I always have to go into ANY fresh engagement with a full magazine. Never know when you will need that last bullet or 3-4 burst
-
My name is Hot Tasty Grits and I also am a reloader. I know not to do it but I can't help myself. I do after every kill instead of seeking cover first and then reloading . I can't even tell you how many times this has gotten me killed because my movement speed was drastically diminished and I became an easy target. Looking for help. What time is the first meeting and do I need to bring punch?
