Holofoils Need to be Unlockable Ornaments
So...don't get me wrong, I like the idea of Holofoils being this super rare skin for a gun, and often look really nice. But my problem is, and I've been saying this since Into the Light, if Bungie cares about optimizing our use of vault space more than just increasing how much we can actually hold, then the glaring issue here is when Holofoils drop and are trash rolls you wouldn't use...normally you'd scrap it but wait! You may not get the holofoil to drop again because rare RNG. So now you're conflicted with keeping a trash gun as a trophy since you may not get it ever again. This is made more annoying with this season, with guns that have multiple holofoils...and requiring a copy for each if you want them all.
Bungie, you taught players to want to keep stuff like this because they tend to be a one time thing, you should know better by now on how to make life easier on everyone. Holofoils need to be a permanent unlock once you get them. That way, we only need the god roll we want, and can toggle the holofoils we have. Very simple solution that would help with vault space usage. People can argue it doesn't matter, get over it, delete it, whatever. The point I'm making is, this is a quality of life improvement so we can actually enjoy the holofoils, there isn't a downside to it, doesn't diminish the value of getting it in the first place, and I can't fathom why anyone would be against this idea. I rest my case

1 ReplyI and a friend for past 2 days doing that event to get sub machine gun holofoll and not one… Have had 5 shot guns 1 bow.. Drop rate is pure unbelievable.. not to mention the rolls !! Need a system to input a perk from the same gun and infuse to make the the roll.. RNG has been pathetic!! Switched guns banked motes, hit the purple crystal.. no deaths.. full lives private and match making.. 15hats some times 5 or 3 Boss glitches and wipe… you name it I done it all different ways.. Got better things to do and I don’t mind the grind but this drop rate of none is a bloody joke!! Rank 30 and gun roll from the one you get at the 25 rank only one I have had.. shard .. would had been nice to make a holofoll from one that you like the rolls on.. a man can dream Also MAKE!!! cosmetic ghost, ship, and vehicle.. they take up to much space.. better to use customise and chose a look rather store and not ever get the chance to use again!!

2 RepliesDelete it, may look pretty but a garbage roll is a garbage roll. I’ve had a lot of holofoils…. All deleted.
-
100 sorrows or 1200 silver. Maybe 7000 bright dust if the player base and moral is low enough.
-
If you want to keep a shiny, keep it. If you're worried about the roll, throw it out and keep farming. It's never that deep. You decide what the value is

1 ReplyEdited by TheGiantCheeZe: 10/25/2025 1:34:59 PMSince there’s no mechanical/practical value in them it’s not a big deal and they should be kept as a rare drop to maintain the prestigious status they have, especially the ones with good rolls And at least in my experience, I’m not getting enough holofoils to be stressing over that being the reason why my fault is too full lol

I rest my case[/quote] No. They should remain a chase. They’re basically the only one left. Your odds of getting a good roll on a tier 5 shiny is pretty high since there are 3 perks per column.

EoF isn't about making life easier. It's made for the anti-crafters and the people who want everything to be harder to grind for. It's designed to be grinded, not played.
-
For me now, if the roll is bad , they get deleted just like everything else. The way they look is not good enought to keep them anymore.
-
My very first event drop was a foil smg but it was missing all good 4th colemn perks. Since then, 0 smg, 4 bows and 1 shotty. I’ve hit rank 30 and gilded the title. 2 bows came from eva engrams. That rank 30 shader looks great on the non foil smg, so I’m rocking that for now.
-
If Bungie did that no one would be able to tell players that complain about vault space to delete their holofoils first lol

9 RepliesI've said before during the ROTN that we should be allowed to "upgrade" our weapons to the shiny versions. It's not like they offer an advantage, and if we really will be able to upgrade our gear tiers in Renegades like I've seen a few people on here and reddit mention, then would we not also be doing that very thing technically? The closest to an argument anyone gave against it back then, and it was downvoted into oblivion, was that shiny weapons came with extra perks, but now that T3 and T5 all get extra perks, the very justification not to is null. Bungie can just turn it into a Memento that adds an ornament rather than a shader or something.
-
Agreed. So do the ornaments from the Into the Light weapons from Onslaught.
-
Or more event mementos to collect....and while I'm at it armor mod socket for set bonuses like on the mask helmet that function similar to mementos that you can get from Ada ....
-
Yes. Especially weapons with multiple holofoil skins. Like Trachinus, Ribbontail, Phoneutria Fera, and Synanceia.
-
This is actually a really good idea 👍👍

OP: Bump! 🖖👻

Bump 🍻🫡

1 ReplyOne could argue against this suggestion just because the one guy they still have coding stuff is near burned out and this would be one more thing on his plate
