Shoulder Charge

We’ve removed a bug that allowed players to shoot immediately before activating shoulder charge, which allowed players to apply the 1-2 Punch damage buff to shoulder charge.

This bug was caused by a quality of life change made for Tempest Strike. Before Shadowkeep, if player's had the sprint button configured as "hold to sprint", then they would need to be holding the sprint button while sliding in order to activate Tempest Strike.

With the release of Shadowkeep, we added a small window of time where players could activate Tempest Strike after letting go of the sprint button.

This change had unexpected effects on other melee abilities, so we have reverted this change until we can find a better fix for Tempest Strike.

So... we’ve been able to shoot then shoulder charge since destiny (1).

The nerf they are proposing should solve the OP 1-2 punch, Peregrine Greaves combo.

So what I’m saying is we should still be able to say, throw on Synthocepts, slide, shoot a shotgun then shoulder charge.

It won’t be as OP as greaves, but it will still be a very huge chunk of damage you can inflict on enemies.
