Gunsmith rankups

Anyone else dismantle a crap ton of weapons and aren’t even half way to a reset with the gunsmith? I understand the bounties are there for a reason but like… forced to do them just for rankups compared to the old gunsmith materials is kind of.. lack luster. I used to like getting surprised by him with a decent rolled world loot pool weapon now I come back to the tower well over ten times without even visiting him anymore except for upgrade modules Edit: a good suggestion would be to combine weapon leveling system for crafted weapons and reward a generous amount of gunsmith rank on weapon level up or objective completion of red bordered weapons Credit to: xbroggiex Their response [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/260857975/0/0/1]here[/url]

  • Considering what my three characters are at, when I dismantle every weapon, do every bounty, and purposely get more legendaries to dismantle, I am only rank 10 of 16, and considering I need to dismantle 300 legendaries or 900 blues JUST to hit rank 11. I will not be able to reset this season, even though I play everyday. Cause by rank 12, if I can even get there, my options literally are to play another game cause I have literally done everything and will have 3 characters max power (1560) OOORRR play Destiny solely to play 8 weeks more than I want to, just to rank up the gunsmith and MAYBE reset him, if I play everyday just trying to do nothing but reset him. Even then I will likely come up just short. [b]Tl:dr: even if you play every single day like me, you'll be not even close to reset (rank 10 or 16) so far. Even though I rank my gambit 4 times already.[/b]

    • I didn't even know Bounties levelled him up until you just mentioned it. I'm at level 13 and stopped doing bounties after I reached 100 on the season pass. Bounties are super easy - finish an entire round of them in less than 20 minutes - but yeah, the number of weapons you have to dismantle is pretty high - but there are also a lot of trash rolls they give, so it goes up quick.

    • Honestly, I get the frustration, but on the other hand, it’s a totally passive rank up, which is actually quite refreshing. You’re gonna get stuff to dismantle no matter what, so even if it takes forever, it’s not like Bungie’s dictating what activity you have to play for it, ya know? (Hi, Wellspring. 🙄) You can just play what you enjoy and get the rank up when it happens. I wish more stuff were set up in a less activity-specific manner, particularly for the bland participation-trophy activities. For example, instead of 3 strikes, 3 gambits, 3 crucibles… it could just be, “Play 9 playlist activities and get a pinnacle drop at 3, 6, and 9.” Just slight changes like that would allow people to play what they enjoy most without missing out on drops.

      • Reset his rank once already and at rank 7 again. Not hard or time consuming at all.

          • I don't see a problem with it. I've reset mine rank once and it's "working as intended"

            • Season rank 261 and just reset the gunsmith for the first time. Progression needs adjusted for sure.

                Yeah, its insanely slow now. But I think since its a passive gain basically its why its so slow. Honestly they should add reputation to the repeatables and bring back a feature from D1 where he had those base foundry weapons you could use to gain rep. You could even tie this into the weapon crafting system as well by having the weapons he has be deepsight and on completion grant the usual rewards + gunsmith reputation.

              • He is a little slow, bungie seems to aim for 2-3 vendor resets per season and we are about half way through the season and I'm almost to my first reset. By comparison I'm at 1.5 resets with my other vendors.

              • Its not as bad when you aren't infusing half your legendary drops for leveling. Still slow though

              • they want you to do all the bounties every day thats really the only realistic way to level it up. you can dismantle 1000 items and not be half way to a level up lol

              • I’m somehow sitting at rank 15 and 9% after only doing bounties during week 1. So I’m nearly reset, but that’s with having played like 120 hours since WQ launched. Way too slow, especially compared to what it use to take. At least still give us something every 100 points even if you keep the total rank progress speed the same.

                • Just got my alloy yesterday. Since almost everything is junk rolls, it was the easiest level up of all vendors.
