I'm saying buying weapon doesnt give you any advantage. It'll still have all it's old perks. for your first purchase which then unlocks it to be a world drop. It's like buying silver for Eververse engrams of we still could, break down whatever into legendary shard then turning I. those shard to Rahool for an engram, basically giving us the ability to literally buy weapons. only this time, we can select which weapon we wanted to buy, which would be at the relevant years power cap, so you can't just buy weapons to play end game content for the new year. There are 2 types of games at play here. Whether you're keeping up with the newest DLC or if you're playing for free and are just after certain looks. That's all cosmetics ste anyway.
