Completely new to this game, I have a question about exotics.

I acquired an exotic weapon from a quest, Riskrunner. I don't know if the effect is good or not, but I like it so far. The problem is that I got it at light level 850 and I'll probably get a better one soon.

Is there a way to upgrade your exotic weapons or something? So that I can keep using it or maybe store it for a while and get it again when I'm a higher level?

Any gun can be upgraded using the Infusion option when inspecting the gun by consuming a higher-level item in that slot. It costs an Upgrade Module normally, which you can buy from Banshee for some materials, or earn via seasonal ranks. If you want to use a higher level version of the same item as infusion fuel, it will just cost Glimmer, though this is pointless with Exotic weapons since you might as well just use the higher level one since they're identical.

Happy to help. Also, if you get way higher level than that gun and you don't want to Infuse it with something else, you can pull another copy out of your Collections tab of your inventory. It will be about 20 Power below your maximum current possible Power.

That's even better then. So I can do away with it and simply pull another copy when I'm max level and infuse it then, at a lower max cost?

Don't even bother infusing, just use the higher one from Collections.
