Ruin Wings vs. Armamentarium?

Ruin wings (Gauntlet)

600

Armamentarium (chestplate)

396

Does someone think that Ruin Wings could be a better piece than the Armamentarium? The perks seem to be somewhat in the same direction. RW reloads special weapons more quickly, while Arma´gives me more ammo for them. RW increases heavy drop rate & rounds per pack, and Arma´, again, lets me carry more ammo from the start. Arma´takes longer to fully upgrade, but gives me that extra grenade. Personally, I would prefer to go with Armamentarium, but it seems Xur forgot the upgrade pack for that piece at whatever dark pit full of tentacles he calls home. But what do you guys think?

    Ruin wings + corrective measure is kind of a godsend for the crota fight. Armamentarium for everything else... Once i get the updated helm of saint 14 though it's game over for both those pieces lol.

  • I prefer the arma to ruin wings just because it gives additional special and heavy ammo and an additional grenade which is amazing!

  • I say ruin wings. Arma is amazing, I used it since week 2 or 3 when I pulled it from an exotic engram from xur, and upgraded to 2.0 when DLC released. That second grenade is incredibly useful. And +special and heavy ammo too? Awesome. But ruin wings are just godly. My machine gun with field scout holds 296 rounds total. Arma ups that to an amazing 301 (WTF?!?) but I've seen ammo drops of 70-99. Ruin wings I lose those 5 shots (seriously, 5 shots for +heavy ammo?) but the drops I've seen are 170-190 rounds each, not to mention they're everywhere. Haven't tried with ghorn yet, want raid boots with +heavy ammo first, but I can only imagine the number of rockets that drop. Next problem is the only raid gear I've gotten so far is the gloves, so yeah. Fun times...

  • Both situational, gotta <3 double flash nade in PvE or PvP ;) but the amount of heavy drops from wings is a win so both are awesome.

  • I actually just made a post about this. I'm literally using GHORN as a primary in roc strikes. And during that time you might run out of heavy ammo, a couple of fusion kills (special kills=more chance of heavy dropping) and your back in blow man's land

      Wings for pve and arm for pvp. Edit: You missed week one of upgrades. He offered Arm upgrades first week.

    • Ruin wings are definitely better. Armamentarium: 1 extra rocket (x number extra mg rounds) and 1 extra grenade Ruin wings: 50% more heavy ammo per pack plus much higher chance to find heavy ammo packs. In other words, slightly more max ammo vs much more ammo overall. Easy choice if you ask me

    • If you have gjallahorn and arn't using ruin wings I don't want to speak to you. That combination has made this game a joke for me. Boss isn't dead in seven gjallahorn shots? don't worry there's 12 more lying on the ground in front of you. All I do anymore is go into a room fire 1-4 gjallarhorns, clean the rest up with fatebringer, refill my heavy ammo and walk to the next room. Add on weapons of light and you can sleep while you raid.

        • I'm finding that with armamentarium, I tend to hang on to heavy ammo until the end of a level/strike/raid section. Now having all that heavy ammo at the end is great, I think my ruin wings come in a little more handy. With them, I tend to use my heavy throughout a level/strike/raid section, knowing more is on the way, and typically am still well stocked at the end. I do miss my extra 'nade /tear

        • Armentarium. Bonuses are guaranteed. Ruin wings you have to hope you find heavy ammo. Not always guaranteed.
