Will trade my 2500 useless baryon bough for mod components...

Buy blue weapons from collections. An dismantle

I initially thought we were going to be able to dismantle a weapon drop and put it's mod into our inventory if it had one. We need Gunsmith Day back and it can be reworked to include mod components as well.

Solution: rename them "Enhancement Components". Problem solved.

For some strange reason Bungie believes if people are able to buy certain things that once they acquire them they’ll stop playing. I play the The Division as well as Destiny. In The Division you basically are allowed to hold (nearly) unlimited currency, buy ANY mod you want, craft ANYTHING you have a blueprint for as many times as you want until you get the perfect roll and tons of people including myself still play the shit out of it and can’t wait for the sequel to come out in March. The Division is still a grindy ass game but it at least allows to you purchase/craft nearly anything. I don’t know about other people but once I get a roll/perks I want I can’t wait to run right into a mission start wrecking shit with said weapon. I don’t say “cool, got that now I’m done”. WTF, apparently Bungie believes this to be the mentality of their player base. Otherwise there is no reason NOT to allow people to purchase mod components or ANYTHING else, as well as capping currency. Bungie thinks their player base is a bunch of idiots and sometimes they’re not far off. Bungie raised the max of glimmer to 100k but then turned around and raised the purchase price of things 5x. People were excited, “ya we can hold 100k glimmer”, dumbass, it now cost 5x as much to buy something then it did when glimmer max was 25k. And people fell for that shit. 🤦‍♀️. So in affect, they didn’t change anything except the numbers. Back to the point, allowing people to purchase things such as mod components will do NOTHING except allow us guardians to enjoy weapons/armor quicker than grinding for them, we’ll still play the damn game, that’s the point of buying mod components is so we can enjoy them and just wreck whatever comes our way. I don’t know which direction Bungie is going with Destiny and I don’t think even Bungie knows where they’re going with it yet. But Bungie seems to be taking the fun out of the game a little bit, then they put a little fun back in the game, then they take a little bit out. Point is a video game is supposed to be fun (fun is subjective to the individual) but they’re turning it into work. Grinding can be fun, hell, the first year of Destiny one was a grind fest (if you didn’t play year one you have no fukking clue) like grinding for planetary materials just to upgrade a perk or two on your weapon or armor piece (ya shit didn’t come unlocked with all the perks like they do now). But you can still make the game fun and exciting without making it too much like a job. Streamers don’t go to work and put in an 8-12 hour day at the warehouse or at the office then come home and play destiny for a few hours. They sit on their ass ALL day playing video games telling YOU what to do 🤦‍♀️. Just think about the masses not the few.

I’m surprised this hasn’t been addressed. I’d like to see something in the game that makes it more clear how to get mod components. Heck you know what? Give the gunsmith bounties, each bounty gives a mod component, and give maybe only 3 bounties a day like patrol vendors, since 5 a day may seem too much for players with three characters. Regardless of the numbers that seems like a logical path to take.

Mods are so rare I just don’t bother using them. Absolutely stupid game design

I hate to suggest more bounties on this game, but Banshee should have daily bounties worth mod components. 2 PvE, 2 PvP, 1 Gambit; all revolving around different ways to shoot things in the face.

500 Weapon parts = 1 Mod Component We burn through so much gear and weapons that those numbers should be easy to achieve IMO.

I get you're one of those awful xurner types. Gross.

The funniest thing about the whole mod system is that it barely makes a difference when you have one equipped... Mods are just another failed system as far as I am concerned.

It might just be me, but other than Back Up Mag, I cant find a use for or even tell a difference on most mods. Not saying they dont do anything, just that most of my gear either came equipped with what it has on it, or I didnt bother putting a mod on it after the first few. Now, just like Y1, I have a ton of mods "just in case"....

Pve ammo synths.

Just buy that one gun that has about a 10-15% chance of dismantling into a mod component from the collections. I do agree though.
