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.

I wouldn't be surprised if that were the easiest way to respawn your character. Depending on the design, your character's physical model could be a part of the object and rebuilding it may just be the way they originally handled respawning you. It's impossible to know how they designed their system. That's the beauty/horror of code - it's all a construction of the programmer's mind so it's entirely dependent on how they think about things.
