Should i buy Red Death or..?
I got an old Red Death from the VoG chest. As a matter a fact it was my first exotic drop, so i kinda have some nostalgic feelings here.
Now Xûr sells both the weapon and the upgrade. I have over 100 coins but i am wondering if i should buy the upgrade or the weapon.
I am leaning to buying the weapon, but i would like some opinions.
Edit:
Thanks for the feedback guys, i will buy myself a 331 Red Death and keep the old 300 one. I have used the 300 one in crucible and it was pretty solid. And when House of Wolves hits i will upgrade the 300 one if the upgrade is available before the weapon itself. Now if i know my history with Xûr a bit, i will most likely get another Red Death from a nightfall or something else -_-
Edit 2:
Take into consideration the fact that i have 20 exotic shards, 100+ coins, 20k glimmer and almost 800 heavy ammo synths ( i spend a little too much after the 6 week drought).

5 RepliesWell, there were some posts a while back doing the math on upgrade vs buy new. And generally speaking it's more cost effective to upgrade the old [b]Primary[/b], but that assumes you are okay with only one. I myself figure on, like you said, buy a new one if possible and then upgrade the old in a later DLC, sort of leapfrog them over time. On a side note for armor, the stats are definitely a factor, I've almost upgraded a helmet only to realize I was going to lose 30 Int. Totally not worth it, and if he'd had one for sale with better stats I likely would have bought new. (or in the case of less frequently sold stuff, like HoPF I bought the crappy one he sold hoping to upgrade it later, since upgrades are much more common than actual sales of some items. (this is why you can upgrade already upgraded gear, lets you roll to a better stat roll, [b]on armor only[/b]) Sadly he hasn't had a decently better one.
