Why does bungie keep useless perks?

[echo matrix]

Perks likes osmosis, attrition orbs, full auto retrofit just don't make sense to me

[trim pelican]

To bloat weapon lootpools intentionally to force people to grind harder

A question we cannot 100% answer.

Skinners box

[echo matrix]

Like why the duck does attrition orbs roll on undercurrent

[static field]

Because of the skinners box effect in mmo

Destiny has this for guns

[trim pelican]

So when you get a roll of undercurrent with attrition orbs you have to go grind another one

Increasing playtime and thus making bungo more money

[echo matrix]

It takes 12 shots to make a orb

[trim pelican]

Sure does

[blissful trail]

osmosis is good for some weapons

[echo matrix]

Its not it only rolls on kinetic weapons

[blissful trail]

traveler chosen >:D

[echo matrix]

kinetic weapon

Osmosis proper description
Lowers dmg by 15% after throwing a grenade

[bold sedge]

Attrition orbs scales differently with each weapon, wave frames can make an orb in 2 kills
