Gunsmith what's the point???? (UPDATED)
Once you get to say level 15 the gunsmith becomes well redundant. He never has anything of use to sell other than ammo refills.
Why bungie could you not have given him a random loot stream which involved exotics and legendary. I hate it when games make characters that have a 2 min role but never leave the game.
Just a thought give him a random loot stream and mix up the currency used, so many use them.
What does everyone else think?
(update)
I realize I should have said Gaurdian outfitter as well, I have more emblems that I care for but shaders are in short supply. I guess I didnt mention her because I forgot she even existed. Don't get me wrong I don't want things handed to me I like the idea of earning things but why do people think that going out and collecting glimmer or other bits such as strange coins to purchase an exotic is not earning it, if you ask me it's far more earned than all the little turds out farming loot caves for engrams. I am not asking for there to be an exotic up for grabs every day just make him and her have some more value to the end gamers.
(update #2)
Can we please stop posting the obvious now, we all know he sells ammo and has a small role in a bounty these two very small points do not make his role in the game anymore relevant. I would love to to see more interaction with all the NPC's, but I think the GUNSMITH should be one of the more relevant NPC's of a SHOOTER. Having him build guns or change perks simply would not work in this iteration of the game. Why? well that ability would render exotics redundant and pointless cause we could all just make one no need to find/earn/buy them.
I think the future games will have far more customization, but the best course of action for these NPC's I think would be to just give them random loot streams, also removal of glimmer cap. Setting exotic at say .9% chance of drop and legendary at say 2% rares 5% GIve other stuff to sell as well like energy for coins, weapon parts. And make the purchase of exotics require x amount of weapon parts and x amount of strange coin, this would make acquiring them a bit more tricky as one might not have the required parts at the time of the exotic drop. Also involve the gun smith in some new side mission, something this game is seriously missing side missions that is.

I think a huge part of the problems with the vendors is that this game has next to no loot variety, and it shows. Even among the vendor refreshes we see that the loot is laughable. This is also one reason the tower is so boring, outside of the cryptarch and bounty guy we know what the other vendors have so there is next to no reason to ever go and check them. It's kind of funny, they wanted the tower to be a big social hub, but then they put next to nothing to do in there. They make a big deal about the tower opening up, but it end sup just being that back door that leads to the emissary and iron banner dude. There was a tweet before this weekend about there being a use for our strange coins and it just ends up being Xur. Sometimes i wonder if the Devs are even gamers themselves or if they try and make every decision based on what is the safest and most encompassing but also ends up being the most boring to try and appeal to the broadest range of gamers. I think the fact that devs are started to try and cater to as many gamers as possible instead of trying to do creative and new things ends up making very boring and safe gameplay elements that really show in this game with the tower, vendors, static events. The VoG is the only thing that really feels amazing and fun, i wish we had more missions that had that much creative and thought into it.

As long as he keeps selling ammo packs, his existence is worth it.
-
Pocket infinity bounty and ammo, but he didn't give me one rare fusion when I needed it, so him and the cryptarch can, well, I won't get into what they can do.
-
you can get blue level 20's.. i say this just because of pocket infinity bounty. >.>
-
1 ReplyYeah just ammo packs...but he could sell custom weapons tweaks for high $$$$.
-
The point is ammo synthesis. Those things are quite pricy but can save you in many situations
-
Ammo, and to buy fusion rifles for that Pocket Ininity bounty. Also when you do exotic bounties he usually has stuff that you need to get from him. But seriously, he needs to sell some good stuff at high prices.
-
I think, at the very least, the guns he has on the wall should reflect what he is selling. They are all the same! There is even a gun rack in the hall on the way to the shipright that has the same guns on it. If I were to walk past a shop in real life that had only 2 or 3 different things on display, I would keep on walking. Otherwise, I totally agree with OP
-
2 Repliesbecause that "special orders" woman is integral to the game... Dude, the majority of the characters in this game are simply UI interfaces for menus.
-
I still use him to buy Ammo Synth. It's very useful in raids and strikes.
-
To sell guns
-
Why not have him give out bounties or missions that give extra experience for your currently equipped weapons?
-
I'm sure someone has already said this, but it would be neat to exchange weapon parts and armor parts for other stuff. Like glimmer, synthesis, or the ability to re-roll an armor or weapon skill.
-
4 RepliesHe should add were you can get weapon parts from him at a price
-
Or at least let him have a feature that allows you to do a materials exchange with your respective armor material (e.g. plasteel plating) for glimmer or rep. There is absolutely no point in having 999 of anything.
-
4 Repliesammo synthesis and exotic bounties, that's the point.
-
So right!! What should happen with his gun stand is upgrade materials. If you buy enough he should offer you a exotic weapon after you re supply him with x amount of materials. They also need another feature where the player are allowed to sell their materials to other players. That's 25K glimmer cap needs to go. Tired of buying random useless crap just so I don't feel like I'm waisting time gathering glimmer.
-
If anything someone should sell things that we need like ascended shards/energy. I don't even care if it's for 20,000 glimmer. Glimmer becomes pointless in this game unless it's to buy engrams to get increase cryptark rank ri get a weapon package or to buy weapons/armor and break down for parts.
-
So far I've used him for spare weapon parts when I needed them.
-
I just go to him either to continue exotic bounty tasks that involve him or I get those ammo refill consumables for those stages that has the juggler modifier.
-
They should make it so you can sell him weapons and get more glimmer, but no materials.
-
Ammo synthesis and using him to do my exotic bounty

Edited by Hellheaven: 10/4/2014 3:47:20 PMsomething i was thinking of that may be nice is sorta like the pokemon system for the gun smith you basicly throw a weapon in there and get one back of equal value but its from random players that also throw theirs in there(of course i assume you have to pay a fee with either glimmer or certain items/quest) but it be sort of like a trade system and people who get duplicates or items they cannot use can launch them in there for another random item of the same class(exotic, legendary, rare, etc). This would probably be restricted to once per day or week but it be kinda cool imo.
-
The gunsmith is used in atleast 1 exotic quest but other then that is mainly used for ammo boxes, which are the main thing to dump extra glimmer in. I speak with him 15 times a day to buy more ammo. Can never have too much. And the outfitter gets checked once a day for any rare emblems. Don't mind the no shader stock as I have about 15 different ones already
-
Edited by SgtThroatPunch: 10/4/2014 3:36:46 PMHe is great when he sells rare fusion rifles. I bought 8 in case I ever get that bounty. (Yes I know you need 10)
-
Ammo and blue fusion rifles about it.
