About new legendary (golden) hop up: Boosted Loader

So I have a wingman with purple magazine, with 9 bullets. If I reload after 6 bullets, I will then get 11 bullets good, but from that point I have to reload after using just 9 bullets to again get 11 bullets with hop up... get my point?

Without hop-up I will have 9 bullets in total and I have to reload empty mag to get another 9; now for hop up to work and constantly give me 11 bullets, I still have to reload after each 9 bullets... why this is a legendary hop-up? Both this one and quick draw (last season, 9) seems really unnecessary to me.

    @Alphabets Dear Respawn, please bring back the skullpiercer and hammerpoint rounds instead of this non-sense and shattercap rounds.

    While the hop itself is kinda useful, I don't feel wingman and hemlock where the right guns for it.

    I'm not gonna go and try to argue that this hop up is great, but if you watch experienced wingman enjoyers using it, the benefit is pretty good.  Emptying five bullets from a wingman after picking it up with the hop up is part of using it now.

    @pandareno1999 Yes, it might be useful in some cases, 1 or 2 extra bullet might even help you win a fight, but still this really doesn't have qualities of a legendary item in my opinion and I believe all experienced Wingman players would also prefer Skull piercer, over this one and Quickdraw.

    @Alphabets The anvil was a much better hop up. It was actually useful in all scenarios. Boosted loader is only helpful if you reload early and then run the mag out the next time.

    I'm not seeing how the boosted loader can be considered niche lol, yeah the boosted mag is a bit janky but the reload speed increase is real useful.

    I mean people shouldn't be reloading on an empty clip anyway,as it's slower. So this is just a matter of playing as usual except with quicker reload times really lol.

    Yeah its not a mind blowing hop up, but its still pretty good.

    It was something I built in the fabricator but I won’t go looking for it.

    Wingman, sans Skullpiercer, really just needs a bigger magazine.  Even scope is optional, though I love 2x and gold scope
