Destiny is a game filled with awe-inspiring sights and fantastical locations. The weapons are cool, but the more I play the less excited I am about acquiring new gear. I've already got Gjallarhorn 2.0, Icebreaker 2.0, Mythoclast, Suros Regime 2.0, and a basket full of top-level legendary weapons. Like most of us, I have a short-list of guns that are the most effective.

I think this collection of sentences puts you in a very, very small subclass of Destiny players. I don't have ANY of those weapons, much less all of them - and I think I'm about as well-outfitted as the average player.

I like finding/buying new stuff, because I'm NOT maxed out. I'm very, very far from running out of new gear excitement - and I think that except in the rarified camp you're in, that's probably the case for most of us.

Probably, but eventually you'll find out that of all the choice Destiny seems to offer, there really are a small subset of weapons that will get you by any situation. There are a few that you may use for ultra specific scenarios.

If you have:

Vision of Confluence
Fatebringer
Gjallarhorn
Truth
LDR 5001
Icebreaker
Corrective Measure
Vex Mythoclast
Atheon's Epilouge
Any void fusion rifle
Hunger of Crota

You can do all of Destiny's current activities without much trouble. For nightfall with burn elements, you may have to use something new of the right element. You can add in a few that suit your playstyle, or legendary alternatives depending on the Exotic you equip, but that's my list. I could go in with nothing but those on my character and do just fine in any PvE scenario.

So I get where he is coming from, when pretty much everything I get now I shard immediately.
