Weapon reskinning needs to go.

What i mean by this is that all weapons is just the same. Every Stasis needs to have headstone and rime steeler. Every Solar needs to have Scorch, incandescent and heal clip. Every Void needs to have Destabilizing rounds, Demoralize and Repulsor brace Every Arc needs to have Jolting feedback, Voltshot and Rolling storm. Every Strand needs to have Slice, Hatchling and Tear. I remember when these perks first came out, it was only found on the weapon that dropped alongside those perks. Even weapons that came after didn't get these perks. It took awhile before every weapon started coming with them and old weapons got updated and came with these perks. The uniqueness of those weapons got removed, no need to farm for those specific weapons or even keep them anymore. What doesn't help is that Bungie don't like exclusive perks. Raid weapons used to have it but now all weapons can get those perks. The problem with this is that as soon as a new set of weapons come, there is no reason to go for them because it is just a different looking gun to what you already have. The worst one is for the healing auto rifles. Why do they need one of each element ?

  • So I mostly agree with your post, but understand better why this has happened. The main issue is that without reintroducing those perks, new weapons stay outclassed by those which hold the aforementioned perks. That's just the nature of a Looter Shooter. Power Creep is inevitable and must be implemented, otherwise there's no incentive for new gear. [quote]The worst one is for the healing auto rifles.

Makes no sense for me to be using a Solar Support Frame on a Void support build. Seriously stifles potential, all because an elemental affiliation holds me back. It is ideal when we have archetypes that the community wants to craft around extend the available pool of weapons to choose from.
