With all the posts around here recently about dismantling a bunch of stuff, I think there are going to be some really disappointed people once more details come out over the next few weeks. Remember, the weekly update also contained the following warning in connection with this week's upcoming Twitch reveal: "Pro-Tip: Don’t dismantle anything until the full developer briefing."

I'm still torn up about Sharding my TDYK and LHF

Days after they tell people to wait a bit before dismantling things, people go on a dismantling frenzy.

With all the posts around here recently about dismantling a bunch of stuff, I think there are going to be some really disappointed people once more details come out over the next few weeks. Remember, the weekly update also contained the following warning in connection with this week's upcoming Twitch reveal: "Pro-Tip: Don’t dismantle anything until the full developer briefing."

I didn't shard everything. Each of my characters has a variety of weapons to suit my various play style and moods. There's just no more excess. No holding one to anything but the most memorable or important Legendaries, no duplicating up of exotics. No hoarding of resources who I can't even trade in for Glimmer because I'm at max + several Royal Amethysts.

So, sure. Some people might be disappointed. Those that don't know what they're doing. But that's not me. :)

I'm so far on the other end of the spectrum, I just bought my 4th, 5th, and 6th Gjallarhorns in case we're able to do something really cool with our un-needed weapons in TTK. Probably won't amount to anything, but what the heck. It's not like I'm short on coins :)

I know in my heart of hearts that Three Little Words will be just slightly more powerful thanks to its Headseeker perk... but Fair and Square was when I first adopted Pulse Rifles as my primary weapon of choice. And remember, I was kickin' ass and taking names with Fair and Square back before Pulse Rifles got their nearly 10% damage buff!

Plus, Fair and Square is prettier than Three Little Words. :)

Not even a good roll, but for sentimental reasons.

Doesn't matter. Light/Beware's a great roll so I've devoted a spot to my Bad Seed Down as my "keep even though it sucks" gun.

My Super Pox Vlo is staying at 300 until they no longer let us play lvl 26 VoG.

Ascended it too! Solar Comedian with Full auto and Shot package.

Has Firefly and Explosive Rounds. The first perk is unfortunately "Last Round", which isn't helpful on a 16-round clip scout rifle that I obsessively reload after every break in action.

But I'll never shard her. She's my baby. Once I get my next etheric light I'm planning on ascending it!

Actually it was a Hex Arc Caster (or whatever the word order was), but it was an awful archetype with terrible perks, so it eventually got sharded when I ran out of space the first time.

My second Legendary was my Red Hand IX that I got from hitting rank 3 in New Monarchy. Awesome archetype, with Outlaw, Explosive Rounds, and Crowd Control. It turns out this is basically Fatebringer (which I don't have), but with more stability (and no Firefly/Arc damage, but oh well). Still planning on hanging on to that one, one of the first I ascended.

Bungie has said don't delete your vault weapons. You'll see why Wednesday. Hint: trophy display in your apartment. You can move them out of your vault and still keep them.

…allegedly.

I hope this is true... but I have another couple theories.

I think Bungie is going to do something that changes the way we get rid of weapons we don't want. Instead of simply sharding them for parts, we'll be able to shard them towards a weapon we already have, in some way. I'm thinking 1 of 2 possibilities:

1) Lets say you have a weapon you don't want to keep, but that weapon has a perk you'd like to add to one of your other guns. Perhaps there will be a mechanic that allows us to take a perk from a gun as we shard it and add it to another gun of the same weapon type.

or...

2) We'll be able to take XP from a gun we don't want and dump it in to a new gun that we do want. So if I'm deleting an old sniper rifle that has all of its upgrade nodes unlocked, I can pour those XP points into a new weapon to upgrade it.
