I heard running double special increases heavy drop rate, is it most optimal to run heavy ammo finder on double special or a special finder mod?

The drops that you get by using double special and the ammo finder is different

More optimal to run heavy ammo finder (and scout for teamplaying)
When running double special weapon and a heavy, use heavies to get higher chance at getting special ammo.
That’s from my expetience 😄 not sure about the facts tho!

okay ty vm

When running ...
Specifically, hold out your heavy and use a grenade/melee
Or shoot a grenade launcher and quickly swap to your heavy
Because this game was programmed in a vat of boiling spaghetti, that’s what causes more special ammo to drop

Oooo it’s all about what you have out? I forgot about that
wise valley
On the inverse, if you, say, shoot a rocket and swap to your special you’ll get more heavy ammo despite the fact you got kills with your heavy

Yup. It’s weird tech

In speedruns people use wave frame GLs like forbearance and just swap off of it once they fire, spawning tons of special ammo for themselves once the wave cleaves through the adds
It’s like lunafactions being a swap exotic, it’s exceedingly unintuitive but the behavior in question is thoroughly consistent

if you run double special run a special ammo mod if and if you need special pull our your heavy and get kills while you have it out (doesn't have to be with the heavy) and it drops more special ammo
and if you run double special and you pull out your special weapon it drops more heavy
wise valley
Yup, pretty much
As I mentioned it’s independent from the source of damage, ANY projectile or attack will take on the ammo-generation properties
finite delta
yup

Using double special with sunbracers gives you a ton of heavy despite you getting grenade and not special weapon kills
finite delta
yea
wise valley
And as I mentioned you can do wacky stuff like shoot forbearance and swap to your heavy to make more special ammo
finite delta
its quite literally if you want special ammo shoot special and then swap heavy or get ability kills while heavy out

After 9 years in development, hopefully it will have been worth the wait
