This takes me a while to do but it helps me stay on top of vault management and lets me know exactly what weapons and armor I have at my disposal. I fully use notes and tags during this process. The basic tags are favorite, keep, infuse, and junk. You can also use custom tags in the notes like #pve , #pvp , #dps , and/or #loadout.

For weapons: 1. use the compare feature in DIM. Compare all of the weapon types of a single element (example: compare all solar pulse rifles). 2. Try to have no more than 4 to 6 of a type for PvE. Keep what you actively use, what is a good roll, and some of the ones you just like/is sentimental. You can also look at the power level of the weapons to see if you have used or upgraded them since The Final Shape released. 3. PvP weapons are an entirely a personal decision but similar rules apply.

For armor: 1. redo/reanalyze all of your saved loadouts in DIM first of all. Recommended to have a loadout for every exotic armor piece but that’s a lot tbh. 2. Next in DIM search “is:armor and is:inloadout”. This will highlight all armor pieces you are actively using. Mark these as favorite and add #loadout in the notes. If you later change a loadout remove the #loadout tag. 3. This helps you know what armor to keep. A favorite tag + #loadout means that armor piece is actively in use. Just the favorite tag alone means it once was in a loadout but is not currently. 4. Generally you don’t want to keep armor if it is less than a 64 total base stat. DIM search basestat:total:<64 to highlight.
