Items from the armoury are now useless, removing level 3 blessings is great

It was necessary cause it is linked to the system they have put.
So yes, this was needed.

You can disagree, but it is seriously linked. I put again what I quoted above:

@FatsharkCatfish

Acquiring weapons through this new requisition system in the Armoury, will give players a common (Profane rarity) weapon of a varying item rating according to their character’s current level. It is worth noting that Profane weapons in Darktide have the most potential of becoming powerful weapons in combination with their base modifiers and via upgrades through crafting. To accompany this new feature, we will improve the selection of items in the hourly catalogue in both the base item rating range and their potential.

@Fatshark_Hedge

The Armoury Exchange requisition list will often see items with Tier 1 & 2 Perks / Blessings, while Sire Melk’s Requisitions will often have items with Tier 3 & 4 Perks / Blessings for characters at level 30.

This is a system. So the changes have to be seen in the coherence of this new system
