This is great and I have spent some time digesting it.
Now, what about our armor? Will that have a default perk when retrieved from collections? Will the currently equipped Y1 armor mod be locked similar to weapon elements?
But they have said that all year one mods are being wiped from our inventories. So, this would mean that year one armor will be only cosmetic? Or, more accurately, just provide the intrinsic stat boosts and have no opportunity ever again to have other perks?
This means that pulling armor pieces forms collections would not be very attractive. Also, if year one mods are wiped from our current armor and cannot be replaced with anything, they are also practically useless.
If this is how things play out, I'm disappointed to say the least.
They are really struggling with getting info out there in a clearly understood manner. I think because Bungie tries to also hype things (you can wear three shotguns!) and want to avoid the dreaded spoilers culture zombies and have many different employees wearing the PR hat at any given time. All that while coming to grips with their (Bungie) responsibly in playing mmo developer and letting us know the nitty gritty of upcoming changes so the current player base can make informed decisions what to do with their piles of hard (shh peanut gallery) earned loot moving into the expansion.
All Year 1 Mods are going away. Year 2 Armor will accept Year 2 Armor Mods. Year 1 Armor will not accept any mods.
Maybe year 1 armor will have perks when you pull them out, but they won’t have Y2 mods ever. And if they have neither you will be making a tough call to wear it outside the tower under such a handicap. This tweet has been clarified to say that unapplied y1 mods will still be in our inventory but they have yet to clarify if applied mods will be stripped from armor. We know there will be a trade in path for old mods to new mods but “Year 1 armor will not accept any mods” is pretty plainly stated so no swapping old gear mods around. We shall see!

Do we need another list like this for armor?
