Outlaw

Obviously we don't know how that works at all, whether it'll only work with/for TTK weapons, etc. But we'll know within the next few days, so why not just wait?

Granted, it's not an issue I have to worry about:

My second Legendary was my Red Hand IX that I got from hitting rank 3 in New Monarchy. Awesome archetype, with Outlaw, Explosive Rounds, and Crowd Control. It turns out this is basically Fatebringer (which I don't have), but with more stability (and no Firefly/Arc damage, but oh well). Still planning on hanging on to that one, one of the first I ascended.

But I'll never shard her. She's my baby. Once I get my next etheric light I'm planning on ascending it!

Bungie has said don't delete your vault weapons. You'll see why Wednesday. Hint: trophy display in your apartment. You can move them out of your vault and still keep them.

…allegedly.

I hope this is true... but I have another couple theories.

I think Bungie is going to do something that changes the way we get rid of weapons we don't want. Instead of simply sharding them for parts, we'll be able to shard them towards a weapon we already have, in some way. I'm thinking 1 of 2 possibilities:

1) Lets say you have a weapon you don't want to keep, but that weapon has a perk you'd like to add to one of your other guns. Perhaps there will be a mechanic that allows us to take a perk from a gun as we shard it and add it to another gun of the same weapon type.

or...

2) We'll be able to take XP from a gun we don't want and dump it in to a new gun that we do want. So if I'm deleting an old sniper rifle that has all of its upgrade nodes unlocked, I can pour those XP points into a new weapon to upgrade it.

The smart thing to do would be to wait until wednesday, when they reveal the ultimate plan for transitioning into year two. Then decide.
