Certain Year 1 exotics are getting a Year 2 version: new model (Kinda), new perks, higher base damage, ect
The Year 1 exotics that [i]don't[/i] get a Year 2 version will [i]STILL BE VIABLE.[/i] They made that abundantly clear: you sacrifice other weapons to your preferred Year 1 exotic to make it more powerful.
Gjallarhorn? Still good, sacrifice weapons.
Thorn? Still good, sacrifice weapons.
Ice Breaker? Still good, sacrifice weapons.
They made this really, really clear, but so many people immediately ran to the forums to complain about it before they finished explaining how it works.
EDIT: If you recall back to when Weapon Balance 2.0 was announced, Hard Light is getting a crap ton of buffs. Why buff a gun that's going to be, "useless," in a month?
Because it's not going to be useless. It's just not getting a new paint job, like SUROS Regime or Hawkmoon.

What were you saying? Have you read the weekly update? Eat those words, eat em good.
-
They made it clear you could upgrade year 2 weapons by infusion (sacrificing another weapon) but infusion is not available to year 1 weapons.
-
Infusion is for Year 2 legendary's only, they said nothing about Infusion when it comes to Exotics.
-
False. The infuse option appears on both the legendary suros scout rifle and the new exotic suros auto rifle. http://i.imgur.com/vGymwz2.png http://i.imgur.com/TsMWUbV.png

They said Year 2 Legendary and Exotics.
-
I listened to it twice, I did not hear any mention of infusing exotics. I did hear them say that you could infuse any year 2 legendary.

He said it at exactly 55:41 of the stream. "Legendary weapons, Exotic weapons, Legendary Armor, Exotic armor"
-
but only year 2 stuff right?

Edited by turbtators: 8/20/2015 12:51:52 AMThey also nerfed somesome year 1 legendaries but as it sounds we aren't upgrading those. So its a possibility that some year 1 exotics won't be going along for the ride in year 2 even though some were nerfed and buffed.

Edited by ABlazinRedToe: 8/20/2015 12:17:05 AMThey said infusion only works with year two weapons, what part of that is not "really clear" to you? And as far as Hardlight and other buffs, I believe some of those are strictly for crucible.
-
Sorry but infusion was only explained as it applied to year 2 weapons and not year 1, you wont be able to sacrifice weapons to make year 1 weapons better.

What Jermz said... Can you point out where they made this "really, really clear?"

The year one Warlock helmet is brought up on the blue print page it has no upgrade bubble. :'(
