Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and its audiobook, and The Earthborn Trilogy, also on audiobook. These can be thrown on the ground and smashed open, often containing ammo.

I think all of this is a question mark until we get more information about crafting, but it was an odd choice this entire past year, and I’m hoping we don’t see it repeated in the future.įollow me on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. If it does continue, however, I’d just like to see this level of 50/50 randomness stripped out of it.
I can see crafting theoretically replacing the entire Umbral system, but we don’t know that for sure yet.
Bungie has pitched Crafting as a way to save on vault space, which implies to me that this system may let you say, have one gun with access to multiple different perk options within that gun, as opposed to saving six rolls of one weapon. The sense I’m starting to get here is that Bungie’s new weapon crafting system may kind of entirely replace the sort of random roll/engram/umbral farming we have right now. Now, what I don’t know if this conversation will even be relevant by the time Witch Queen rolls around.
