Weapons (Destiny)

On weapon slots, will we be limited to always having a primary, special, and heavy slot? What if I wanted to not carry a special but instead carry two primary weapons? Could that be an option?

You can access your 27 reserve weapons at any time (even while in combat) from the 'Options' menu. Duck behind a crate, bring it up, swap to the weapon you want and get back to shooting. It's not as elegant as if you could just press Triangle (Y), but it achieves the same job.

In the Alpha, you could even switch between Primaries with no ammo penalty.

So basically, you can carry around 10 primaries - go wild!

In the Tower there is 'The Vault' were you can store an additional 20 weapons of any type. Note that it is shared between your characters.

And why can't they give me a cool futuristic crossbow for my hunter?

I hope so. I think they're saving up cool stuff. The Fallen had a weapon that fired slow projectiles that tracked you. A bit like a Needler. I hope they let you try that out.
