TIP: New Season & Popularity Ranks
It's a new season! Popularity ranks can change rapidly at the start of a new season, especially on new weapons.
Be careful jumping to conclusions for a week or so as the meta starts to shake out.
TIP: Popularity Ranks
The letters F thru S below are Popularity Ranks. They measure how popular your roll is versus the most popular roll for this weapon among the global community. The most popular roll is ranked S+. The least popular is ranked F-. Popular doesn't necessarily mean "good"; unpopular doesn't necessarily mean "bad". Use what you enjoy!

That isn't to say spare is garbage or doodoo water. It isn't. But when held against the juggernauts that dominate the kinetic slot, it looks lacking. It undoubtedly is. Further, the fact that the weapon cannot be crafted further starves its anemic stat distribution, and makes the experience for players obtaining their desired roll just that much more difficult. While there may be some potential in PVE, it then has to go toe-to-toe with the likes of Timelost Fatebringer, which is yet again, another losing battle.
Spare Rations long had the reputation of being a deceptive beast. Even during its hayday, its stats were nothing remarkable. Yet it's access to meta perks like rangefinder along with some "under the hood" magic, made the gun feel superb. It being a 150 and receiving the lightweight bonus in addition to its .8 ttk made it a worthy pick for any HC fanatic. Now, 150s no longer exist, and the lightweight bonus is relegated to a weapon that is, as of season 21, unobtainable. The game has simply moved past Spare Rations and Bungie has done nothing to help the weapon catch up to its competition. However, what will really solidify this weapon's place in the game is the looming zoom changes and range retooling. Rangefinder will no longer boost range, which will likely place more emphasis on the range stat. If this is the case, then kiss any chance of this weapon being great goodbye. It is a darn shame such an iconic weapon is returning with little gas in its proverbial tank, but after we received Mindbenders Ambition a few seasons ago, should we be surprised?
