I always get more gun parts and armor materials out of upgraded weapons, but its always less then i put in. Do weapons you have leveled but haven't actually purchased the upgrades return the same as leveled with upgrades paid for? If that's the case I may start saving unwanted legendaries so I can turn a few bounties in with them first. My main guns are waiting on materials and not xp anyway.

  • I'm thinking rather than the buying the upgrades, it's only the exp on the weapons/armor that matters. I'm fully leveling 2 legendary weapons and 1 armor without the upgrades to dismantle and test this theory. Hopefully, I can post the video up late tonight.

  • I know on all of the green/blue items, you get more mats out of them if you have the xp in them, but you get nothing extra for actually purchasing the upgrades. That's why I equip gear I don't care about at all when I turn in bounties, just to get the mats. Haven't tried it on purple/yellow items yet, as I haven't had enough yet to test on. Hope this helps!

  • Dismantled a purple chest I got and maxed the xp on, however no upgrades, and I got 3 ascendant energy. Don't have a control to test against, but I hope that helps. I know it's late bit it took me a few days to max it.
