Hey guys, so here's a little tip if you didn't know this already. Don't immediately dismantle those Rare weapons you're getting running Strikes! Let them pile up in the Vault for a while. After you have several of each Primary, Special, and Heavy, make sure you have plenty of Motes of Light and go get one of each type of Telemetry. Or if you are like me, you might have a bunch of specific ones left over from Year 1. You can use one of each of those too. Use your Telemetries, then equip a full set of Rare weapons and start going to town with your Motes of Light. Get all nodes unlocked on a weapon, switch it out for the next one, rinse and repeat until all nodes are unlocked on all those Rares. Obviously you don't need to purchase the nodes, just make sure they are all unlocked fully. Then just get to dismantling! You will get anywhere from 3-6 Weapon Parts from each, and also 1-2 Motes from them. You won't make up for all the Motes you spent doing this, but you'll get back a nice big chunk of them. Plus, Motes drop like crazy nowadays. You'll most definitely be rolling in Weapon Parts though, and that's what we were going for anyway!
EDIT: Forgot to mention that Primaries tend to level up significantly slower than Specials and Heavies. So if you do this often, it's a good idea to have a Class Item that increases gains on Scouts, Pulses, Hand Cannons, and Autos, one of each. Then when you are doing this, just slap on the class item you need to help with whatever type of Primary you're doing. This will save you some Motes.
I know this isn't breaking news guys, but I'm sure there are some out there that hadn't thought of this so I thought I'd share. Since I started doing this I've not had ANY Weapon Part shortages, so it is definitely worth the effort. Happy Infusing, Guardians!

Good comment! You should make it an actual post =) maybe add some in depth numbers based on your findings. I.e. 10 primaries=35-40 parts 10 secondary= whatever and so on. Thanks for the tip!

I will keep stats the next time I do a load of them and share that info. No problem man enjoy!

Nice! Thanks.

But I'd rather level my faction with my motes
-
Well then go for it. This is just for people struggling with Weapon Parts.

Never thought of this strategy. Thanks for the post!

No problem man. It helps a ton if you're like me and have to fully upgrade every weapon before deciding to keep it or trash it haha.
