He gets to play stuff early, so maybe he knows what he's talking about.

If this is true, you are essentially trading in your fully leveled 300 attack exotic, and getting back a 300 attack exotic that can be upgraded to the new max, with no perks. So, given that none of Icebreaker's perks are really that good, in THAT case it is a 'free' upgrade :-) I can live without mulligan and the victims exploding so long as the damage is the same.

Obviously this is not as bad as having to re-level from 260, but we should keep the perks. One simple change could alleviate everybody's concerns and literally have no negative impact on the game: trading in your weapon simply adds additional upgrade nodes onto the end.

Done. Expect the patch changing this in 2 weeks.

P.S. It is unclear whether the Mythoclast can be upgraded, or if it is already at the new max. I hope the weekly update covers all this.
