thx but its already downvoted and I wish they would respond about how they love being high rank and keeping loadouts from us is important...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe it's because they wanna feel special. But i agree, everybody should have access to loadouts. No matter the rank.

Unless something has changed, I think another QoL move would be to unlock some of the mods, specifically the Siphon mods. That may have already happened, but I seem to remember those being locked behind a Rank as well.

wait there is more hidden behind ranks? There are rank specific mods that open up? Why are they doing this... I thought ranks was the chase of itself for those who aspired to it.. man they are missing the middle-class chunk of folks who want to have an easy time getting into the content

Bungie wants you doing ranks for some reason. They tied it to loot and mods in EoF. Kind of dumb because all the speed runners refused to rank up due to some weird speed related issue (that I do not profess to understand coz I'm not a speed runner). EoF forced us all to rank up to get loot drops but no one really cares about it accept for 11's. They think it makes them look special but all-too-often the '11' is the one who hogs mechanics, runs ahead, leaves the fireteam and is a general pain in everyone's @rse.

I'm pretty sure there used to be at least. I seem to remember helping someone through some activities and he told me he hadn't unlocked those mods yet because he needed to reach the next Rank. Of course, my memory isn't quite what it once was so I could very well be wrong about that.
