Old guns are obtainable. You just have to know how. You know how Vanguard Dragon is the only strike that says it gives engrams? Right. But did you know Vanguard ROC annnnddd Vanguard Tiger both drop engrams still? No? You didnt? Well they do. So, here is the massive amount of research on these strikes: (not really) Vanguard Tiger = Vanilla strike of destiny. Doesnt require any DLC Vanguard ROC = Dark below strike. Contains dark below related items. Vanguard Dragon = HoW strike. Contains house of wolves related items. This means that if you farm the crap out of a tiger strike, you can get a legendary engram, turn it in to the cryptarch, and get ols vanilla gear from destiny. Thank you for your time guardians.
