Hey guys,
Maybe I'm just dumb, but when I play games like this, I find my "pet weapon" and shun everything else. I'm not quick to abandon it and I find that I get more out of scrapping my other guns than I do with keeping them. In Destiny, this practice is WRONG!! and I found it out the hard way.
Harder missions don't just give the enemies more health or better weapons or higher numbers, Destiny also gives them SHIELDS! And these shields each have their own weakness (based on matching shield color to a weapon's element type). The thing is, some of these harder missions also make ammo scarce.. really really scarce. So it's in your best interest to attack a shielded enemy with a weapon that can take down its shield in as little ammo as possible (shotguns work well). When you're in a fireteam, you'll need to fill many roles as well. So having the option to switch between an Arc, Solar, and/or Void weapon when it's needed is EXTREMELY valuable. It'll help you win more consistently and much more quickly (something us Dads could definitely benefit from, right?!).
So if you're like me and have a pet weapon... STOP IT!!! You'll need to break this habit for the later strikes/raids in the game.
