true, but even here in TTK they gave everyone a god-rolled CT-D, handed it to you personally, plus the only modes where your old stuff doesn't work so well are IB and Trials so you don't have to wait for RNGeezus to drop you a great Party Crasher. i still get sniped across a room with both weapons even if i'm not shoulder charging the guy, lol. Bungie gift-wrapped a means of Y2 defense and served it to us all on a silver platter. Vestian Dynasty works about as well as any other sidearm against a sc, too -- which is to say 'quite well'! put the snipers down, people.
