1) Weapons and armor can also improve stats and abilities. Bungie team decided to not take the route of incremental numerical differences and rather focused of more descriptive potential (like boosting speed, reducing headshot damage, enhancing a specific ability, speeding up health regeneration etc...).
2)Similar to focus', gear also has talent trees that gains exp through use.
-Four tiers of classifying gear: Basic (White), Common (green), Superior (Purple), And Gold (Exotic!)
3) Can only wield/equip one exotic armor and one exotic weapon at any given time but can carry as many as we like and switch between them whenever.
...They proceeded to show all the weapons we have seen but with greater info of special attributes they have... but i leave out just to surprise you guys unless you really want to know.
[spoiler][b]Red Death:[/b] Can increase health regen and has perks that trigger frequently during pvp
[b]Closing time: [/b]Camouflages entire body when zoomed in and if you shoot an ammo-pick up from a concealed location the goods go straight to your bag)
[b]Gjallarhorn:[/b] Shoot out rockets, and then secondary sentries deploy on site of impact to hurts enemies that pass by.
They all sound awesome. I'm assuming these abilities come after you upgrade them significantly though.[/spoiler]

I'm bumping this because this is relevant to Game Informer Destiny Cover Story from that was recently re-released for free. Here it is: http://www.gameinformer.com/games/destiny/b/playstation4/archive/2014/04/04/a-player-39-s-journey.aspx

Perks, camo and xp stuff in pvp... I'm beginning to think...perhaps i'm too old for this.
-
Closing Time.......... Can I have it for my Christmas gift Santa? I promise I'll be a good boy....
-
Now I definitely have to get the gjallarhorn. A Rocket launcher that deploys turrets and has a wolf motif? Hell yeah.
-
okay now I have to have closing time and red death , A I like to be sneaky, and B if and when I screw up and jump the shark , ill need that health regen to save my ass
-
How many of these are you planning on writing? Will there be a #6? Thanks for doing this. I'm sure you realize how much we all appreciate it. But no, seriously, thanks a ton.

Edited by DannyB513: 12/4/2013 6:31:12 AMThank you soooooo much for these summaries!!!! They are an early Christmas present to me. I am in Afghanistan right now and won't get to read my Game Informer until I get home. Also, love your name on here. Who is John Galt? Objectivism is where its at: All men deserve what they are willing to work hard to acheive!!! No one deserves a free ride!!!
-
just read all your updates (thanks :D) And the weapons with some weird crazy secondary traits sounds awesome!!
-
i really like the closing time i was always the type of person to stay back and cover my team now i can do it while camouflaged even better and i can get ammo by shooting ammo pick ups this is all i ever wanted in a sniper
-
I'm curious as to how powerful the camo is on Closing Time, I must admit that I was not the biggest fan of cloaked Snipers during Reach. The secondary ability is really interesting however :) Also we need pictures of the Gjallarhorn turrets. They had better damn well be wolf shaped.
