Now we remember when Bungie sunset more than half the weapons and armor in the game when Beyond Light came out. There were so much backlash that Bungie had to bring back some weapons from the Pit of Heresy and the Shattered Throne to give them relevance and remove the power cap for weapons from Season of the Worthy forward leaving the weapons from the previous seasons to die and be forgotten. With this system that will be no more.
[u][b]The "Sunrise" Update[/b][/u]
This update would change the way Sunsetting works for past weapons. They will return to specific activities (Ex. All Reckoning weapons will drop in Gambit. Gnawing Hunger, Lonesome, and Night Watch will be transferred to Gambit.) Weapons that don't have a home anymore or doesn't fit in any activity can be acquired by using the Umbral Decoder (Like Faction, Black Armory, Menagerie, etc). Strike Specific weapons from Year 1-3 will actually be with Zavala and would cost a bunch of Vanguard tokens for one weapon. Now Raid weapons that can't be acquired by its original activity can be collected by Benedict 90-44 in the tower. He will grant you one random raid weapon with Spoils of Conquest, but will use a large amount of Spoils. Now with this in mind some of you would probably say, "What about my Weapons in my Vault, are they worth keeping?" My answer to you is yes they are.
[u][b]Job for a Gunsmith[/b][/u]
In the Beginning of the "Season of the Splicer", Banshee finally became a bit more relevant to the population with his weekly rotation of weapons and perks. With this idea, this will make him even more relevant like he was during Year 3 of Destiny 1. There will be a [b]ONE[/b] new item which would be called "Gunsmith Blueprints". The Gunsmith Blueprint would be acquired by just killing enemies, Emphasize in killing enemies *COUGH* Transmog. This item can be collected infinity without a collecting cap.
You can use these blueprints to "Sunrise" the weapon which would change the power cap to be infinite like the Weapons from Season 10-present. To help with the the perk pools, the weapon can be rerolled twice. After the second re-roll, the player can choose one out of the three rolls to chose which roll is the best for them, but after the final choice of the perks it can never be rerolled again. Present weapons can also be rerolled like the old weapons.

for every sunrise, there is a sunset for every dawn, there is a dusk for every birth, there is death
-
Bungie should hire you
-
OH MY GOD! I have never seen a better way to get rid of sunseting this is genuinely the best thing i have seen in a very long time!! Bungie you better implement this right away
-
Dont you worry they will resell those weapons sooner orb later. Once they milk the crap out of their recycled contents. Theyll find a way to add those back, I mean they doing it with the season we sre in now, getting escalation gear/weapons. Although I miss my spare rations :/ I literally got one that's a God roll so late that it was gone before I got to enjoy it.
-
I miss spare rations and austringer
-
Not happening. Sunset/unattainable weapons will continue to be sprinkled across future seasons as “new” weapons and pinnacles will forever be sunset.
-
I will not stop until they unsunset the legendary collectors/limited edition sword. It was an incentive and it shouldn't have been capped.
-
Unless this gives me back [i]all of the gear[/i] I dismantled under the belief that sunsetting was going to be indefinite, then no. I would be far more livid if they turned sunsetting off for hoarders but didn't restore gear that people deleted as a result of sunsetting, and I know it's not possible nor plausible for any game company to easily perform the latter.
-
They've already stated that the weapons that reached cap won't have their power increased. They may be reissued, but the weapons that already dropped won't be. And honestly, that's fine. It's been 8 months since sunsetting was implemented, we were explicitly told that sunset weapons aren't going to increase, and most people dismantled a number of their sunset weapons. Because that's the information that was given. People don't have a way to get those originals back, so they should stay capped.
-
So long as Recluse and mountain top stay permanently gone I think its fine. Honestly i still think sunsetting is good. but not how much they sunset. When more then half of your guns vanish its a bad thing. slowly pulling with something to replace it in the coming season is a good idea. Pulling everything and saying "Deal with it" does not spark joy.

Edited by Sweet Lew 88: 6/9/2021 6:32:28 PMLol, just let it go.... You wasted a lot of time on this.
-
Their day has come and gone. Move on.
-
How about we don't give people an excuse to start using Revoker and Mountaintop again?
-
You'll get your guns slowly trickled back in with each season, gotta work for those guns you scrapped when this update hit
-
I would love to see this happen. The weapon i want back the most is not forgotten. Now that theres more weapons that can compete with it, I dont see a problem bringing it back
-
I miss spare rations
-
I would just be happy to get austringer back.
-
Nah - I’ve deleted most of mine. It’s over, sunsetting was just a ploy to get pinnacles out of the relevant game types. They made almost all of them too good and needed a way to get rid of them without removing them from the game.
-
I'd kill to get the old Gambit weapons back. [i]I WANT MY [b]TRUST[/b] BACK[/i]
-
I think for sure that the most recent pinnacles (Randy’s, Python, etc) should be un-sunset. Maybe even the older ones too, but the minute they try to undo it to every weapon everybody (including me) will be in outrage because they dismantled their God-roll weapons and what not. Sunsetting sucked, but the best thing we can do now is clench up and deal with it. There’s a lot of amazing new weapons in the loot pool anyways, and I’m excited to see what the next expansion has to offer!

Edited by Infamous067: 6/9/2021 11:38:12 PMI would love to use recluse again, I had some fun times. I dont want to see a return of mountaintop though, recluse was actually balanced after it got Nerfed. Mountaintop is still a monster
-
I just want my Gnawing Hunger ornament. The only one in that set I’m missing 😟
-
I love the gunsmith idea, especially choosing 1 of 3 options (big throw back arms day in D1). From the other side though this would be a massive thing to integrate into the game but very awesome if it was.
-
I just want Randy and Python back.

Good post. Be even nicer if bungie would implement somethong like this, minus the busted ass weapons that made them implement sunsetting originally
