Inventory management questions

[Elegant Caveman]

500 vault slots is laughably tiny for a hoarder/collector who's new to the game and doesn't know what they like or what they should keep. So:

Any reason whatsoever to keep blues/rares?

Any reason to keep multiple copies of vehicles? (I seem to be getting an Anti-Paladin every time I do a forge activation, recently)

Any tips from other hoarders/collectors? How do you cope with the terrible inventory limits? It's bad enough with one class, but I intend to try out other classes later, and I don't see how I'll manage that, with three different types of armors.

Any way to save "Origin Story" and "The Last Dance" from the campaign other than to simply keep them on me at all times? Can't put them in the vault, and I don't see them in my collections.

Thanks!

My advice would be "don't keep a load of useless junk in your vault".

[trek1994]

dont put blues in vault and unless u really like the look of the armor set there is really no need to keep it if it has really low stats

There's no point at all in keeping legendary sparrows. I have 3 exotic sparrows with transmat preloader on each character, which is easy to get, now that you can roll from collections with legendary shards. Also no point in keeping any ghosts that don't have Guiding Light.

Stop keeping junk

[PhellAsleep]

Learn what items you can purchase out of your collections menu and just scrap those from your bank.

I was the same way when I started but pretty quickly discovered it was a mistake in the way we (as hoarders) think. Your stash is strictly meant to keep weapons you can't get a hold off easily...for all your hoarding needs there is the collection tab. So if you find that purple godroll weapon; stash it...anything that's lower than your current lightlevel and NOT a godroll; trash it.

So, no reason to keep blues or extra vehicles. Check. Thanks.

The collection tab is useless for anything with random rolls, though, isn't it?

The thing is that most of THOSE weapons are REALLY easy to find (most weapons in collections will list an origin on where you found them) and also note that I don't just mean godroll as in maxed rolls but also a weapon you just REALLY like.
I REALLY liked Ringing nail for PvE against wizards when doing EP (for instance) and it's listed as gotten from Black Forge....so playing a couple of them it took me no time at all to get 5 copies of said Ringing Nail in my inventory...of which I kept the best. Stuff gets different for stuff like exotics or that random prime engram drop...those I might store for a while...but the same can't be said for stuff like Ikelos-type weapons.

Much like the commenter before me said (with a little addendum of my own); learn what type of missions drpop what TYPE of weapons. Remember that stuff you scrap net you weaponsmith components which can be turned in for weapons (either with Banshee) or by buying directly from your collections page.

You're not keeping 15 copies of the same weapon in Borderlands either; right? You store the best one IF you use it at all...Destiny 2 works under the same principle.

[Overeagerdragon]

Here's another good example. The Ar you got from the sundial seasonal was REALLY nice imho...SMG-fast fire rate but still the punch of an AR....however; I already have a really good AR atm so I stashed the seasonal one because I don't know if it can be gotten in other configurations easily...

Once I figure out how (or IF) you can get that AR in other configurations I will farm it for a godroll one and scarp all others.

Meanwhile; the exotic scoutrifle was nice enough but I have a wavesplitter in that slot...so I stashed it. along with the Vow from last season because I don't use handcannons that often (having trashed 5 others I found...yes people I found 5 eriyanah's vows last season -_-)

I dont normally listen to banned people, especially if this is how they talk. But i need to point you out on something...

You didn't get the context, destiny 2 has tons of armor, weapons ect. And he likes to stash, so 500 slots in comparison is definitely tiny. Maybe you should read a little more lol.

Good advice in general, thanks, though a special thanks for reminding me of this. I think I noticed that some time ago, but I'd forgotten, and I don't look much at the collection.

I appreciate the support. Context is, indeed, important.

Well there is your problem. :)

Since Shadowkeep they do actually have a purpose now that they can drop at your power level and fill out any low level slots for your gear, but if you're at the powerful gear cap they are useless aside from dismantling.

Nope, you can pull them from collections like all the other cosmetic stuff like ghost shells, shaders, and ships.

Over time you'll identify your favorite or good perks/stats/looks/energy type and instantly identifying what you think is trash will be easy. I personally think "Am I actually going to use this gear this season?" If I think not then I obviously trash it because there is no point in keeping useless armor. I recently 90% of iron banner armor I collected from season 5-8 because I'm never going to use it so why bother keep it. The only ones I kept was the titan set from season 4 or 5 because I liked the look and some from season 8 for each class because they had good perks and I like the look, but those are coming back this season as armor 2.0 so I'll probably get rid of the old ones.

TL;DR - If you're not going to use it then don't keep it, and I'm not talking "Oh I might use it at some point" sure keep telling yourself and all those skyrim potions that.

Just scrap the story weapons. They're not worth keeping once you get a higher power weapon. I believe you can also get a legendary "Last Dance." I think from Crucible, but I forget.

Delete blue gear once you outgrow its power. Delete 99% of purple gear. Purple gear is all random rolls, so check to see if it's worth keeping.
For armor, probably delete stuff with stats less than 55 that you're not wearing. Recovery is generally considered the best stat, and then whatever else you like (usually intellect or discipline). Mobility is good pvp. You also have to pay attention to energy type, as it's important for what kind of mods it can equip. So, it's less useful to have 3 sets of void armor, since you can only wear one at a time, than it is to have 1 of void/solar/arc sets.
For weapons it's more complicated. It's probably safe to delete sidearms and scoutrifles, since they're not really meta (but if you like them, keep 'em). Rampage and Kill clip are usually good stats. Too be honestly, you probably won't accidentally scrap anything too important, as the best weapons you usually have to grind for (so you will know what is what). Keep what you like to use.

You can repurchase shaders, exotic/rare ships and ghosts, and transmat effects from the collections tab in your inventory. It's not expensive. Even exotic weapons you can easily rebuy. Exotic armor has random rolls, so it's not easily replaced.

Forget about the blues unless you want to save a few for infusion. As for the purples, chose one good roll for each weapon and disassemble all the others.
