Featured Gear and the Avant Garde modifier feel far too restrictive, especially with such a limited pool of Exotics and new weapons to choose from. I enjoy using bows, glaives, trace rifles, swords, and linear fusion rifles, but there’s barely anything new in those categories to keep my loadouts fresh--particularly when building around a single element. Right now, the system ends up feeling almost as punishing as Sunsetting did. If you’re going to push Featured Gear as a core part of the sandbox, please make sure there’s enough new gear to actually support it.
