Your not forced to use new weapons go ahead use old weapons it's just going to make the game harder for you. It's just more optimal to use a new weapon as I stated But if you did your research mmo games do this yes I know it's not an mmo but it's not a shooter it a combination And that's doing this to stop all this same loadout crap And did you honestly expect a way to ascend old gear And they're not saying your old gun yeah it's obsolete, you can sacrifice it to make a new gun better I love my ALLFATE I've only had for a few months and it's been overshadowed by thorn but hell I'm still gonna use it in crucible until year 10 If I still had my zombie apocalypse I would use that until year 10
