So, I took my shiny new siphon shadow for a spin in platinum yesterday, and for some reason, it was not priming with disruptor ammo. Anyone else noticed this, or am I just a buggy potato? Is it working as intended because otherwise siphon weapons are so stupidly OP? EDIT: Update - thanks to Lennybusker for testing. Seems that Bulwark and Concussive still prime. Siphon lowers the priming rate by a metric fuckton. This may or may not be intentional. Twerking as nintendo.

The gun was clearly afraid to prime within sight of your greatness lest it risk overshadowing your aura of majesty.

Good. Because ammo priming is for scrubs so I don't do it and even when I do, I don't.

I don't have a Shadow variant but I could check with some other weapons if you like. I was priming with Shadow X and Cryo, so that still works anyway.

I can confirm that the Siphon Weapon Variant is not priming on the Raptor at least: Raptor X: Cryo Ammo: Primes Raptor I (Siphon): Cryo Ammo: No Priming

I can confirm that the Siphon Weapon Variant is not priming on the Raptor at least:
Raptor X: Cryo Ammo: Primes
Raptor I (Siphon): Cryo Ammo: No Priming
Just tested A Concussive, a Bulwark, and a Siphon weapon. Concussive and Bulwark primed as normal.
Siphon primed after like, a shitload of shots. trying to retest to get it accurate.
Ed: 50 shots with Phalanx (disruptor)
ed2: 50 shots for cryo prime on Predator S

The P.A.W. (Siphon) primes fine for me with disruptor ammo.

Cool. No wonder mine appeared to not to prime. 50 hits? Wow. Well, I don't use my Raptor Siphon for priming anyway. It's my extrator and "in emergency" weapon. Switch into it, blind fire towards a few enemies, get about 35% health back per clip. But that's definitely something Siphon users need to be aware of then.

I bet this turns out to be similar to previous iterations of bugs we have found, where some weapons inexplicably have different behavior than others.

Did the base Shadow always take 50 bullets to prime? It never "felt" like it but WTF do I know. I wouldn't be surprised if as part of the Benoit Shadow Nerf they not only ganked it reload time, they ganked its priming bullets as well.

Maybe they have an INTENDED different priming formula for the new weapons. Best case scenario.

I need more weapons to test, but from this early result I'm expecting that Siphon weapons are all simply set to require the MAX rounds for priming. 50 is the ceiling and both my Predator S and Phalanx needed 50.
