Well, dunno about Loadouts per se, but forcing equips, at least one by one, does work while in combat. Even with the gun you're currently using.

DOH! (reply)

Also I think it only works if you are In Orbit or not logged in.

Ditto. Thanks! (reply)

Yeah, it confused me too (reply)

So I resorted to clicking all the things until it worked.

Loadouts on DIM definitely allow you to equip items. As you're building the loadout, you have to click the item in the loadout bar to make them equip next time you select said loadout.

I saw the little note about the red spartan logo - but I didn't understand it. Got it now. Thanks!

Thank you for providing these reviews! (reply)

You'll know you're doing it right when a Spartan (no, not that one) helmet icon shows up on the item.

I used DIM the other day and saw you could do that, which is cool. Have not seen another app do that. I haven't tried moving 10 items and seeing if it sets one as the current one.

I've never used loadouts, mostly because I'm lazy. (I use DIM on a computer, and nothing on my phone, though I just downloaded Little Light to try it out.)

The problem I'm having with Loadouts is that the items just get dumped onto my characters; is there any way to actually EQUIP them automatically? (I use DIM to equip stuff all the time, one item at a time. So I know the API allows it.)

It's not that useful if it just makes sure the stuff's on the right character; I'm attempting to speed up the changing in-game from one subclass to another, or from one burn to another.

Thanks! (reply)

Okay, not a big deal. I can see how quick perk-swapping without going into your menu could be OP - that's why I wanted it in the first place :p

Thanks for answering all my questions :)

Also works on phone version of Tower Ghost. (reply)

Gives the same warning prompt.

As long as there is one empty spot in the vault + 1 empty spot on one of the two characters, it will transfer perfectly.

However, on both DIM and Tower Ghost, this functionality is limited to application of loadouts, not for single gun transfers.

This is what I was worried about (reply)

But from the looks of it (based on Funk's Appendix post) that's not an issue on the Chrome version. This is very important to me - I currently have 3 characters with mostly-full Primary slots, and a nearly full Vault.

Thanks! (reply)

Funkmon — Thu, 25 Jun 2015 19:25:45 +0000

Armor, yes. Perks, no. DIM has option to pick your class, but neither has one to choose fusion grenade versus solar grenade or any of that stuff.

Thanks! (reply)

I have so much stuff that takes forever to shuffle about, so the Loadouts feature is 100% the most important part to me. Everyone keeps telling me about DIM but it sounds like I need to give Tower Ghost a good look.

One last question - Can you set armour/perk Loadouts? I realise that's micromanagement stuff that's pretty easy to do on your character, so I'm not especially bothered, it'd just be a nice addition.

So for you, you would have 3 loadouts. VOG, CE, and IB. You would apply these to each guy. If the guy has spare guns, like a Red Hand IX, it will stay on him. You would need to manually move these to the vault.

What if he has the Red Hand IX and I put a Loadout with 9 guns on him. Does the Loadout push RH9 out, or does something not get moved over?

The beauty of these applications is that you really no longer need the vault. Everything is the vault.

Because everything you're not currently using is available space, right? Hadn't considered that, but cool.

The way Tower Ghost works on iOS (the only place I've used it), it replicates what you would do with the Destiny app. It moves it to the Vault, then to your intended character--the difference being that it automatically does both steps when you indicate where you want the item to end up. If your vault doesn't have space for the item to move "through it," then the item doesn't move. Likewise, if your character doesn't doesn't have space for the item the item doesn't get moved.

I don't use loadouts but I assume they follow the same logic. It's not uncommon to try to move a gun from one character to another, and the gun ends up in the vault because my character's slots are full.

Red Hand gets pushed out.

Tower Ghost tells you exactly what will happen.

DIM just does it, and it rearranges stuff in the vault and on other characters the stuff's being taken from, plus wherever.

Here's a before and after, moving Crota to my Hunter with full inventory. Notice my Warlock gained a Thorn somehow.

Winner: Tower Ghost. Again.

But they both do basically the same thing.

Step 1: Pick guns for loadout.
Step 2: Save loadout.

Is it time to use the loadout?
Step 1: Pick loadout.
Step 2: Apply to dude.

The guns go from wherever they were to that dude. If the dude is full, his stuff goes wherever there is space.

So for you, you would have 3 loadouts. VOG, CE, and IB. You would apply these to each guy. If the guy has spare guns, like a Red Hand IX, it will stay on him. You would need to manually move these to the vault.

How exactly do they work? I assume you select a loadout then apply it to a character? Can you also have an overall Loadout (I like to keep my VoG guns on my Warlock, CE on my Hunter and IB on my Titan when I'm not doing endgame activities - keeps things from getting samey), or would I have to have 3 separate Loadouts and apply them
Individually?

What happens to the guns currently on your character when you apply a Loadout? Do they get moved into the vault? As a followup - can you set a Vault loadout? There are some guns that "live" in my Vault, but would be included in some Loadouts (my LDR, my Gjallarhorn, my Swarm). Course, if non-loadout guns get put into the Vault that solves my problem.
