Well you reload them with ammo you acquire through picking up a translucent colored box, so obviously they had to account for that.

In the grim darkness of the future there is only Oakley.

They can keep Greebling the gently caress out of guns as far as I'm concerned. Definitely look better than most futuristic weaponry I see in other sci-fi.

Two exotic boots for warlocks, one pair gives them the titan jump, the other pair gives them the hunter jump.

You sometimes get trash and treasure confused. It's ok, friend. Hatchet is really good, I have the recent CB, PB, Rangefinder one which I clean up with. All the same, my Z is a nearly effortless gun, more so than any other in class to my experience. The feel is perfect.

yes, he has an exotic piece of armour for each class and an exotic weapon.

Some things to consider:

If you don't like the item you don't have to buy it, he refreshes every week.
the items are 280 light. That's probably a big boost to you if you're new but later on when you're above 300 or so you're probably better off buying three of coins.

3oC are another item Xur sells (7 strange coins for 5 3oC). You activate one, then complete a crucible or kill an ultra pve boss (yellow bar with a skull, usually named, like a strike boss). You'll have a chance at receiving an exotic. Now pop another. If you didn't get an exotic you'll have slightly higher chance the next time. Repeat until out of coins.

3oC I think get more exotics in general than buying them from Xur, on average, but if you want something specific and Xur has it then go for it.

I'm a fresh new lvl 40 with like two total Legendaries. My helmet is a rare with like 220 defense. I really shouldn't get that exotic helmet? (Titan one - inconceivable skullfuck or something)

It's a shame you need to be logged into bungie.net to pull the stats for a particular gun roll because without that we'd have a kickass site somewhere that let you create links directly to your poo poo hot roll.

That would be a lot more effective if the game actually built a narrative as you played the game, instead of just dropping in an over the top voice clip on you with no preamble or follow-up.

The upside is it probably means they straight up deleted all the old bounties and IB has a new set to taunt us with.

I mean I didn't have an issue with the bounties as they were, but new stuff is always cool.

Except when it takes away a windfall of marks you thought you had stored up.

Certain iron banner bounties would reward 25 marks each when turned in. I had 3 saved on each character to use for buying new gear post ROI because it's so easy to hit the 200 cap.

They were removed from my inventory on the patch and we were not told it would happen. Even if they didn't want us to be able to carry them forward in RoI a heads up from them would have been nice because I would have drained my marks for mats and guns and then cashed them in.

Total loving bush league move and them deleting poo poo is the one thing I actually cant abide by.

Pretty sure that's exactly what happened. The old bounties were removed from the DB and this invalidated the records of the ones attached to your character, so the migration process deleted them. It always comes back to databases.
