Ah, that does help a bit. I was wondering how I would acquire the commendations for some of the armors and all of the weapons. I already thought that maybe I had to rank up to get these, but you just confirmed that. I do wish however that they would have at least given us one commendation to start with xD or at least give us an option to earn one by completing one of the new missions or something, that would be nice to start with at least. Not a big complaint or anything, just speaking outloud. Do you have to fully rank out your Exotic gear to upgrade it again though? It would be a bit of a hassle for the weapons at least to maximize their potential once more, even with telemtries the process was pretty slow. O another note, to help cheer people up, for those who have the Dark Below DLC, Legendary Engrams DO have a chance to drop the new weapons. I got a new Pulse Rifle, The Three Words or whatever it is xD and it's pretty nice. I also got the Murmur Fusion Rifle, and that's a thing of beauty in and of itself. Just the option to change from either Arc to Solar damage and vice versa is enough for me. Wicked little piece, truly a worthy weapon.
