Idea for Veteran rewards.

So with the knowledge that we are NOT keeping our gear, emblems, shaders, weapons etc etc etc. but veterans will receive some kinda reward. here is my idea for the rewards. for veterans who complete VOG hard mode, they receive a heavy weapon the functions like the relic/shield in VOG barring the indestructable bubble of course, give it a ammo count and balance it as a UNIQUE one of a kind heavy weapon with NOTHING comparable in d2, of course make it a exotic . for veterans who complete hard mode crota ala lvl 34, give players a hive sword, exactly like what is available (barring it's super use) in crotas end. for players who went to prison , and defeated skolas, give them a scorch cannon like heavy rocket launcher , with the charging delayed explosion and everything. and for the players who took on the wrath of the machine, them a iron lords flaming axe, as a heavy with ammo. now the big thing is to make this weapons exotics and to balance them for the intended heavy role where they don't overshadow new heavy exotics, but another huge point is to make them UNIQUE, their should be no other weapons like them in destiny 2(barring battlefield pickups that are used for limited times ala current cannons, axes swords etc) now i'm positively the balancing of these to bring them in line with current heavy weapon damage models will be difficult, but i have some faith left in bungie that they can do it. so...What y'all think?

  • In a word, No. Veteran rewards should be strictly cosmetic. I'm all for allowing a Scorch Cannon skin for rocket launchers, or an IceBreaker skin for snipers, etc, as long as there is some kind of transmogrification system where I can apply the skin to new gear as I go through the game. I don't want to get an item that's great for me at lvl 1, and have it useless by lvl 5. I'd rather be able to continue using the skins. I'm okay with veteran-exclusive ships, shaders, emotes, and titles as well. But it should all be cosmetic only; nothing that gives any kind of a gameplay bonus. You don't want them giving out actual weapons or armor. They'll be great early on but will quickly be superseded by regular game drops: you'd never use them after the first month. For example, when I bought TTK it had a code for some kind of exclusive Vanguard weapon set. Yeah, they were junk compared to the regular stuff in the game: never used them. Might have been good if I was started from scratch, but as a veteran player they were trash. I've got a longer thought on how they could handle veteran rewards: I'll see if I can post it in a few hours when I'm not at work.
