While it sucks we needed years to collect all the exotics. Yes it takes time but many players dont even visit Xur at all and then when they realize they need it for a rank they get all upset it takes so long And why does rank matter, theres nothing prestigious about Destiny 2 ranks. I usually get up to rank 10 which is free and then leave it. But even rank 7 is fine. For the loadout slots. It really doesnt matter at this point, TFS is nearby There also are a bunch of weapon quests for exotic guns all over the place so check out those. Its called putting in work and time and having access to all guns for basically free , guns you can outright buy guns we did quests for to get. Lenghty quests
