Weapon Parts Anyone?
Ever since House of Wolves released I for the life of me need weapon parts. I wasted about 2000+ weapon parts across all 3 characters reforging weapons. I have the worst luck when it comes to reforging weapons. I always get the new crappy perks that I don't ever tend to use on my weapons (Battle Runner is the best new perk). If I get lucky enough to get the 2 perks I want the middle tier is bad. So does anyone like myself want Bungie to implement some sort way to easily get weapon parts. Like maybe exchange exotic shards or any other material. For example, 1 shard equals 30 weapon parts. As of right I constantly play Vanguard Dragon to get engrams but it gets boring.
I find it funny that all the weapon parts I manage to get since day 1, a 10 month period all gone within a few weeks after HoW launch cause of reforging. I think I may have a problem with reforging.
Hopefully this topic can get a ton of likes so Bungie can see this and maybe do something about it. Cause I strongly believe Bungie will probably never issue some sort of easy way to get weapon parts, unless the community ask for it.
Also, Hidden Hand is another new good perk but for Snipers, nothing else.

1 ReplyEdited by NoShanksImFine: 7/5/2015 2:23:21 PMStarted playing in November. Still have 499 weapon parts as of today and a mostly full vault of well rounded, diverse weapons of all kinds that I enjoy using (except auto rifles). My secret? I never go for a "perfect" roll. I have a couple perks that I'll have in an acceptable range and it's much easier to come away with a gun that I'm satisfied with. For instance, I got a NL Shadow 701X Scout the other day and with its high rate of fire I wanted to try to get Full Auto and Firefly on it. I stopped when I landed Triple Tap and Firefly with the middle column having HCR, APR, and Oiled Frame. Firefly was the one perk I had to have, Triple Tap would be well used for a high ROF scout, and Oiled Frame took a little range in favor of faster reload. When you're going for a perfect roll, you're pitting yourself against RNG multiple times in a single instance, so the odds are terribly stacked against you. Snipers tend to be the worst due to people wanting a specific scope as well. And if you want a particular burn on top of that, too? Ouch! What I've heard a lot of people do is get a gun within an acceptable range (similar to above) and hold onto it until they get another one. So when another NL Shadow drops for me, I can hold onto my very decent one and not risk giving that up to try to get something different. I've run into some guns that are really fun to use by knowing that I have a backup.in my vault. Another example - I was rerolling a Low Grade Humility for something interesting. I stopped when I rolled Mulligan in the first slot....because it had performance bonus as well. I have a chance for bonus ammo when I miss OR when I get a kill. With how special ammo is given in the Crucible, I'm really happy to have that. If I was going for a "perfect" roll, I would have rolled right over there in search of what I thought I wanted instead. [b]TL;DR - lower your expectations about what a good gun can be, and have a several perk options that are "good enough" until you get a duplicate to retry on while you enjoy your new weapon and not throw weapon parts at the screen.[/b] Edit - I am definitely in agreement about a needing a better way to get weapon parts. I'd say trading in planetary materials would be the way to go. Each perk in HoW costs 5 weapon parts and 5 of a random material. The Vanguard or Crucible armory should make the swap, as they sell materials for marks right now as it is. I'd be fine with a 2/1 ratio of materials to parts.

Here is another way to farm weapon parts. Buy the green weapons from the gunsmith and turn in one bounty with a green equipped in each slot. A green with xp on it will yield 3 or 4 weapon parts. The weapons cost 800 glimmer so that is an average of ~230 glimmer per part. Its not bad.

Just wait till we reforge armor. All that sapphire wire will have a purpose.

Guess I've had pretty decent luck when it comes to perks dropping for me. If it's decent I'll keep it. Only a few weapons I've "had" to re-roll and usually get something to fit me in 3-5 rolls. I got a Scrooge McDuck vault full of weapon parts

Lol I'm in a similar boat. I only have 75 weapon parts left when I started with like 3000. How ever I have some great guns! Great shotguns on every character and some great launchers

4 RepliesJust so you know there is a weapon parts farm using the trails gun and it works very well First get 7 wins in trials then go the brother Vance and buy as many weapons as you can then... [spoiler]dismantle them[/spoiler] The cost 500 I'm pretty sure and you get 3 weapon parts from each one it worked for me so Happy hunting guardians ;)

Edited by Drakan: 7/5/2015 11:05:51 AMI'm broke when it comes to weapon parts post-HOW. This is clearly a new problem they have created. I can't re-roll anything because I don't have enough.

Same.. tried to reroll my radegast to perfection

I have yet to re-roll a single weapon but am still struggling for parts. Only thing I can think of is ascending weapons used all of mine up as nothing else seems to have changed in HoW regarding weapon parts, at least not that I've noticed.

1 ReplyI think something needs to be done. Marks or coins something because I know what you mean. I had over 4000 and only have about 200 left. I'm afraid to even try to reroll due to the fact I won't have parts to upgrade them
