My guess on why it is hard to fix (Destiny)

My guess is that your character, along with their gear, stats, and ammo, is reloaded/rebuilt each time you respawn.

But why? I see no need. The data is already in memory. If you've changed nothing, why rebuild? I guess my point is that I want to know why those variables are touched in any other circumstances than the ones I listed.

Again, I know very little about programming, so this is simply a question by which to further educate myself. It's not an accusation.

Often it's simpler to run everything from the beginning again rather than making assumptions about state or setting flags and message-passing and all that sort of thing.
