Is it possible to do armor and weapon crafting...

Or is Bungie too lazy to allow a simple mechanic? A good example is if you’ve obtained an armor or weapon, you can use materials to craft another one with custom perks. Armor 2.0 is coming so the armor thing is somewhat handled. [quote] [i]You mean like rerolling from HoW? How’d that turn out?[/i][/quote] I don’t mean rerolling them, I mean actually building one. Like how the Khvostov is customizable, so too should custom weapons. I don’t mean turn custom weapons into the khvostov but being able to build an auto rifle, pulse, and so on from scratch using materials. White requires less materials while purples require the most. [quote][i] Wouldn't eveyone just craft god-rolls and only need 1 weapon?[/i][/quote] I’ve already thought of that. The customizable gear would need to be unlocked in your collections before this is possible on the gun you want to customize. You’re allowed limited perks so the weapon isn’t too OP or broken. Plus this would put glimmer and gunsmith materials into USEFUL currency with the gunsmith or whoever does gun crafting.

  • There's a way to bring weapon crafting in this game that wouldn't reduce grinding for the rolls on the weapon. I've mentioned this before in d1 because trying to grind for God rolls was ridiculously tedious. I've grinded for a God roll luna but I never got one. Bungie could bring back gunsmith reputation ranks and test weapons. Gunsmith bounties could also be added to increase your rank. As you increase your rep every 5 to 10 levels you unlock a weapon perk that you can customize on your weapon. The low ranks unlock the crappy perks and the higher ranks unlock the better perks. Same goes for barrel and sight options. RNG can stay in the game to give new players a chance to obtain good rolls early on. This would help people with terrible luck and have grinded everyday for months and got nothing. But it wouldn't take away any grind. They would have to pick up the test weapons and the daily bounties and grind through the ranks to get better stuff. Nothing will just be handed to anyone. In d1 the gunsmith was useless after rank 6. I'm sure there were people that used the test weapons to give themselves a challenge in pvp or pve. But after you got your first curse there wasn't an incentive to keep grinding the ranks. Rank 6 is low. But it took a few weeks to get there. They only had the weekly test weapons that increased your rank. Still rank 6 is low. And you got nothing else after that.

    • Wouldn't eveyone just craft god-rolls and only need 1 weapon? Seems like this would be a bad idea (and it was in D1 with gunsmith)
