One of the tools that can make your Destiny life easier. If you can get to Gunsmith in time, definitely buy 3 of these.

On the same note, it's worth running Roc strikes to try and land a good Shoot to Loot gun since they'll have 294 max attack. I managed to nab a 294 Shoot to Loot Pickpocket Saint and it's good enough to use in Hard Mode Crota. DLC Crucible also drops higher-attack rares so you can land a decent Shoot to Loot rifle from that, but they only get up to 267 attack or something (still better than gunsmith rares but not as good as Roc strikes obv).

Holy crap, how have I never heard of this perk before?
Is this for any ammo type, or just for that weapon type?

It's a weapon perk that only appears on blue and below weapons. I believe only ScoutR and SniperR can have it.
There are two great things about these guns:
1) You can pick up ammo from afar: this comes really handy when you are at a cheese spot, and/or the ammo pack is in the middle of some melee maniacs;
2) You can shoot the ammo pack multiple times before they disappear and each hit will grant you ammo. One ScoutR I picked up from a random loot has really high RoF, so I can shoot a heavy ammo pack 3 times before it disappears, usually fill up my heavy all the way to full.

But if it is attached to a scout rifle, can it be used to get heavy ammo?

Yes, you can pick up any ammo drop, and like wittyscorpion said you can shoot them multiple times as they disappear. You cannot pick up the triangular drops (glimmer items) or engrams, though.

Also, fun fact, if you get a rare Shoot to Loot gun with Explosive Rounds any ammo packages hit by the explosion are picked up, meaning you don't have to be as precise and can waste less ammo picking up packs.

I am there right now, there is no loot to shoot on any of the guns.

Shooting an ammo pack won't instantly regen Icebreaker ammo, correct?

I am there right now, there is no loot to shoot on any of the guns. Gunsmith's stock refreshes every 3 hours. If you did not get to him fast enough when qupie started this thread, you'll have to wait for it on sale the next time. You can get shoot to loot weapons from random drop as well. So the next time you pick up a green or blue ScoutR/SniperR, check the perks first to see if they have shoot-to-loot before dismantling. Shooting an ammo pack won't instantly regen Icebreaker ammo, correct? Since Ice Break regen ammo instead of needing ammo packs, so ammo packs have no effect on it, whether you walk over a pack or shoot a pack to loot.

Am I the only one that seems to constantly get rare scout rifles with Shoot to Loot as drops? It seems like one per day.

I had one in beta, though I didn't have much use for it at the time.

So... just so I understand this... because this almost seems too good to be true.
Polo runs out of heavy ammo Polo sees heavy ammo across the map Polo equips scout rifle with the Shoot to Loot perk Polo shoots that heavy ammo that is far far away from him Polo..... gets the ammo
This is correct?

That is correct. Also, Polo shoots the pack multiple times before it disappears, giving him more heavy ammo than had he picked up the pack by walking over it.

Because until Crota, no one really cared about the perk, because we were free to just walk over and pick up the ammo.

I have a sniper that does it, but it's too slow for multiple hits. You gotta be quick. Someday I'll have a scout with it. (I hope I didn't dismantle one, back before I knew the value of it. I used to have some blue scout rifles that I ditched, because I didn't need them. heh)

I'm at school and this week, my playing time is going to be limited to none... my brother is in open heart surgery as I type this. Honestly, Xur could sell Hawkmoon and Gjallie for 5 coins with a 10 coin mail in rebate coupon, and I'd doubt I could find the time to do it. Things might change though....

This distinctly puts into perspective that there are many things far more important than our typical complaints here on the site.

Thanks... it all went well and instead of visiting him last night, he was sedated and we were told not to visit him so he could rest... so I ended up doing some crota runs and got an Abyss defiant and The Last Word handcannon
