How to break down Weapons?
So I am in NG+, and I looked all over the game before completing it for ways to get rid of
weapons that I will never use. Like a vendor or even to break down and get materials
from them.

Being in NG+ I see now that there is no way, and one problem is present and that is the
fact that picking up weapons or getting rewards from bosses will just clutter my inventory.

Did I miss something at all? is there a way to break down weapons?

If there is none, I have to say that this is a really silly idea and it needs to change
because it makes no sense what so ever to have my inventory cluttered with items that
I know I will never use or just dont want. Why would the game allow you to destroy
armor and implants, but not weapons?

The second that I killed P.A.X and got his weapon again its when it made me start
searching the forums, but yet I have found nothing.
I typed (How to break down weapons) but nothing about this comes up.

In all my games that I play be it mmo's or even souls games, one thing that I really like
having is a clean inventory.

Please Dev's, if you read this, make it so we can break down weapons!

I was just going to create a thread for this as well; no lie.

I'm on NG+5 and boy does item management become tedious with 6 of each boss weapon taking up space.
I can't believe the oversight for not having an option to "destroy" them for either Tech or Tungsten (equivalent to the player's NG cycle).

Thank you for this.

That´s why I think with each NG+ at least bosses should either drop something different or nothing at all.

Some thing better or new sounds great, <this with the option to break down will be amazing.
I will be happy with the break down atleast.

When you fight The Black Cerberus and already have his weapon(s) you will automatically get materials instead of a duplicate weapon. Why that wasn't done for the other bosses, I don't know...

Tell that to my inventory with 6 variations of the MG Judge.
If that happens for you, then consider yourself lucky for having ONE LESS boss weapon with duplicates.

That's very weird. I've gone through several NG cycles by now and The Black Cerberus is the only one who's weapon gets turned into materials (probably because he is basically like any other human enemy, only way beefier).

Honestly, I'm of the opinion that we should just get blueprints for weapons same as we do for armour, that we can then craft ourselves. There's no real benefit to giving us weapons other than for simple thematic reasons. "You found THE Pax Imperator!" Since that doesn't work for unique armour sets like Black Cerberus' custom-paintjob armour, I don't see why it has to apply to weapons. I'm willing to suspend disbelief enough to believe that, if it means removing the heinous clutter from my inventory.

Bumping this again in hopes that the dev's read it and give us an answer if we will
ever get the ability to break down the weapons in game.
I stopped playing till an answer is given, I already have collected more weapons
that I care to carry.

Having so many weapons in inventory is just a huge clutter that I never like to have
in any game I play, plus throw in the new same drops that I got from being in NG+, it is
just a mess that needs clean up.

When I made this post I did do research on how to break weapons down, and
found nothing.

Huge thx for this tip.

Odd, I again did a search using the question>(how to break down weapons) but nothing
comes up only this thread.

Can you drop some links of the threads that you mentioned plz?

What do you mean "break down weapons?" Like how you break down armor for scrap? You can't break down weapons for scrap.

Did you read what the post is about? or did you read why I asked for a link regarding
breaking down weapons?

Read the post please, or even by reading the comments that were placed by others
in the thread< that would help you understand this.

We all know that you cant break down weapons lol, which is why the post was made.
Neunmalklug Jun 12, 2017 @ 7:00am 
the thread the devs responded was german so this is why you didnt find it ;)
the upgrade stuff from previous ng cycles will be gone too. both will be in next patch.
