I feel sorry for the Gunsmith. Standing behind that counter all day. Nothing to do. No one to talk to. (Except maybe a lvl 8 character) maybe the occasional Exotic Bounty lead.
A couple of my ideas:
[b] Allow him to upgrade weapon levels[/b]. The Stranger's rifle is cool, but at lvl 16 it lacks punch. What if I could upgrade it to 17, 18, 20? 300 attack on the Khovostov? Think about it!
[b] Allow him to change the elemental effect[/b] Let me take a rocket launcher that I like. Maybe its one that upgrades to the triple clip but it's only a lvl 18 with Arc damage. I could use my glimmer to get it to 20 and then change it to Void.
The fact is I don't even care if it's expensive. Give me (and the Gunsmith) something to do with my marks and glimmer. I'd pay 5000 to level it up. I'd pay the same to change the elemental. And I don't know if glimmer is the best fit for upgrade currency, the developers know best on that one, but let's put this guy to work again.
I hope he's on salary, cause if he's getting paid by the hour, bungie, you need to let him go.
[b] Update: [/b] After the House of Wolves Twitch reveal some of the most requested stuff will become reality! Thanks Bungie!
[b] Reforging weapon perks[/b]-[b] Check![/b]
[b] Legendary weapon Engram[/b]
[b] Vendor reputation level[/b]
[b] Weapon Telemetries[/b]-[b] Check! [/b]

Gunsmith has his purposes. He's good for ammo synthesis and for lower levels to purchase weapons. But it would be nice to see his duties expanded. I like the ideas of a gun range, or perhaps switching out your skill tree or elemental damage.

I love your idea but I think you could add more. Earlier in one of Bungie's weekly updates they talked about Iron Banner weapons being able to be reforged. I believe that the gunsmith should be able to do this with every weapon. If you have ever played Terraria you will know what I'm talking about. I would want to to more or less change "perks" of the gun, and you would spent Motes of Light on this. I believe it's a good idea to implement.

GUN RANGE! He is a gunsmith for Christ’s sake. He would have a way for us to try out guns he is selling, try them before he mods them for us ( if this were included of course ) or we could pay a small glimmer fee to try guns we already own. Nearly all of the rest of the ideas in this thread should be included.
-
Let him buy weapon parts off players. Let him sell a few legendary weapons for big stacks of glimmer. Still don't understand the point of glimmer.
-
just make his items scale better with your level
-
It's called heavy ammo synthesis
-
Make him a female. And naked.
-
Ass-less chaps will make him relevant as -blam!-......
-
nice ideas
-
This is -blam-ing great. ~bump~
-
Better question: Can this game be made relevant again?
-
make it similar to borderlands
-
Turn him into a drug kingpin. Sell a variety of drugs for strange coins. Allow guardians to deal drugs for Loot to shove it up RNG's ass Stay away from the speaker due to possible repercussions.

This......I like it. Very much indeed

I wish we had a weapon crafting system make the gunsmith actually an gunsmith and make weapons. You spend a lot of time carrying around spare weapon parts for legendary/exotics you probably won't get so why not let you craft a weapon with them. I was thinking of making it like so 1.) you throw in a weapon of your choice any rarity ( except exotics ) you want and the crafted gun will come out that type ( auto rifle, shotgun, mg etc...) 2.) you throw in a second weapon and the crafted gun will have that appearance 3.) crafted guns will average the stats of both weapons and both guns must be fully upgraded with you picking the optional perks that you want ( like if fitted stock or lightweight are in the same column pick the one you want on the gun before using it for the crafting ) 4.) throw in 50 or so weapon parts and 10 upgrade material of your choice (for legendaries) The way the weapon rarity is chosen I guess would be kinda like Borderlands TPS's grinder throw in a purple and a blue and get a fairly decent legendary and blue and green for a blue and so on

Sell materials
-
rename him from Gunsmith to Ammo Merchant. Then he'll be relevant.

What if we could pay MoL or glimmer to get or old guns upgraded to better guns. You've seen the big machine next to his stand right? Example: I really like the looks of the Khvostov 7G-02 (starting rifle) so what if we could take this sad little pos and have him upgrade it to an uncommon? So it gets a damage upgrade and some stat boosts. Nice right? But wait there's more! Then I have him upgrade my uncommon Khvostov to a rare. Now it can receive the upgrade tree rares have and it might get a stat boost. Now we've got a good gun, but I don't want a good gun I want a great gun. So I take it to him again and it comes back as a legendary with legendary damage and a legendary upgrade tree. And I now have a gun I will be using for awhile.
-
I wish he would sell telemetries.
-
Become engram smith sell legendary engrams
-
Put this in #feedback
-
He was selling FR5s last night. First time he was truly relevant to me.
-
Allow him to reroll weapon abilities.
-
Or a trade in system with the gunsmith?
-
I like this idea, makes smitthy more usefull. bump.

It's simple, we kill the gunsmith. --u know u read this in The Joker's voice
