Gunsmith rep is stupid slow.
The gunsmith change is terrible! It takes hours to level it up. All to get 1 messily trash reward. Please increase the rep gain Bungie.

Stupid slow like fanbois Viva la revolution

1 ReplyJust when you thought that reppin with the drifter took forever, here comes the gunsmith and showed us who the real snail is.

He's meant to be a source extra rewards, another thing to do along side your other reps. Not a rep equal to the others. Ya don't need to be getting a reset every other day like ritual reps.

3 RepliesIt’s literally the same rate dude. Banshee required 100 gunsmith material to rank up and now he requires 100 points to rank up. A legendary dismantle provides 3 gunsmith material and now 3 points. It’s the same amount! So are the blues. The only difference is now you have those daily bounties to give you additional progress. So you are actually ranking up at a faster speed.

5 RepliesEdited by Xero: 3/6/2022 1:37:20 PMOh, believe me, I understand this bit. But at the same time...you can't [i]really[/i] say this wasn't expected lol. I'm facepalming, while laughing thinking all of this over. Think back to the "Vault space" posts on here Think back to the "hoarding" arguments. All of this was a clear indicator to Bungie, that at the very least, there was a pretty hefty number of folks who had their Vault near full of items, while still chasing/collecting more items. So how does one solve the "Vault" issue without saying to players "You really don't need to have that many weapons/armor". Something some folks don't want to hear? Wait for it- Weapon crafting introduction (Right. We knew that was coming)....and Gunsmith rep increase via [b]dismantling[/b] (Wait. What? Isn't it 1 Reputation XP per gun? Ohhh no lol) It's completely genius and simultaneously "evil" to others. lmao How often are we dismantling blues when we hit soft cap anyways? It's so normal to us, that we don't pay attention to it. Heck, I've seen feedback posts about the blues dropping after hitting soft cap. Some folks wanted it to stop completely. Bungie knows this Gunsmith Reputation would have been capped and reset over, and over, and over again for materials, especially those who play this game intensely. Compared to the other Reputations. So not only has the Gunsmith been given importance in a "new way" via the revamp, but the interaction behind it, is a "subtle" nudge to keep blues in place & not need to adjust vault space for the moment. Since there's a perceived "incentive" now to dismantling beyond stored materials. Combine that with the weapon crafting and how it's getting rolled out. See where this is going? Unless some folks really don't care for Gunsmith rep, then it's not a big deal. Since there's Vanguard, Crucible, and Gambit. As well as Trials/Iron Banner when that comes and goes. Like I said, it's genius because it takes such a simple component and just flips it on its head...but also evil because it has to be across the board for all players (including those intensely dedicated players). Collectors are really going to feel this one. Bungie got balls to pull this plan off. Lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2 RepliesBungie needs to remove alloy from the reward track so they can massively buff the rep gain, we all know that’s the reason for the absurd rep nerf.

6 RepliesI've already reset mine. 😂 Do you even dismantle anything? 😂
-
5 RepliesYeah, it’s pretty bad! Dismantle 50 legendary items no rank increase 😤
-
1 ReplyI thought I was tripping at first… I’m like, why in the world is this so slow?! I literally had like 10 engrams waiting for me with Shax because i play alotta Crucible, but i’ve only got to like level 2-3 with Gunsmith and i dismantle MAD stuff all the time. They need to adjust that.

1 ReplyWhat are you doing to level it up?

Week 2 going in 3

1 ReplyPeople might be forgetting that the daily bounties from banshee give rep. Make sure you are doing those as they give a decent chunk. Those bounties take no time at all to do so you could easily do all 3 characters in no time. So just be patient & that rep rank will happen in no time.
-
Gotta make sure you can't have that crafting alloy.
-
It is slow, but gotta remember we get rep for everything we dismantle in game. We get a lot of loot we dismantle, plus what people have in their vault, f they increased it, people would abuse it like they did by taking things out collections lol. I think a compromise would be to just tier the rep we get by the status of the item you dismantle. By that I mean exotics should give most, then legendary, then blues.
-
RIGHT

1 ReplyI had 315 trash legendary weapons in my vault ready for the season to level him up..... dismantled them all..... I'm rank 8. Not to mention all the legendary gear/weapons I've dismantled last couple weeks from just playing. Makes no sense.
-
3 RepliesNo it's not. Dismantle all the trash blues after activities, and it levels up quick.
-
1 Reply[quote]The gunsmith change is terrible! It takes hours to level it up. All to get 1 messily trash reward. Please increase the rep gain Bungie.[/quote] That was the whole point to throttle leveling up.
-
Yeah really feels like we have to do the bounties to get more ranks. In my opinion dismantling legendaries should give 10-20 xp.
-
I have been waiting for a double XP. It's crazy slow.
-
I've been doing gunsmith bounties it's way faster for rep
-
1 ReplyWhat’s even worse is that you don’t have a simple way to get weapons from the world loot pool like you had in previous seasons.
-
9 RepliesYou get rep passively. It’s fine as is.
