Costume Parts: Weapons

I have a simple suggestion for this, and that is this: When you unlock a particular weapon for use in costume parts, make it account wide. It'd be nice to be able to start a character with a rikti sword :P

Any opinions/reasons why this is a bad idea? Maybe there's something I'm missing.

Out of curiosity:

Why would somebody that's never worked for the Vanguard have access to the Vanguard Weapons?

Why would somebody that's never come across the Rularuu have access to swords from their dimension?

Why would somebody who's never fought a Nemesis troop have one of their guns?


Are there RP reasons around this? Sure, but there's just as many against, really.

Game-wise, it's probably don't to encourage people to play through a variety of content on each character.

Anything that improves the ability to make concept characters is a good thing, IMO.

I'm not really clear on what RP oppositions there could be.

Of course, I'm still a little nervous about making everything a global unlock. Giving out special recipes for earning the appropriate badge/kill count for the weapon which can then be transferred to another character has always been a favorite alternative of mine.

That's a much better alternative. I agree.

Edit: This is why I come to the suggestions forum where people think outside the box. I'm so uncreative hah.
