I think if they added the build your weapon option to the gunsmith it would make him more interesting. For example: Incorporate exotic bounties into dealing with the gunsmith. Say your doing an exotic bounty, it would require you to collect each piece of the weapon the exotic bounty guarantees, but you have to see the gunsmith to assemble the weapon piece by piece and for a price. Another idea for him would be to create your own weapon for a price by buying the certain aspects and pieces of the gun you want on the weapon. A list of pieces/perks would be things such as; Perks we can choose from to put on our weapons, limit of 2 like most weapons have now. Perks might be; reload speed, active camo, increased damage, rapid fire, targets explode dealing splash damage, tracking rounds, etc. Camo/shaders for the weapon Weapon attachments; extended mag, silencers, iron to long range sights, grenade launchers, laser sights, foregrips, different stocks, etc. Choice to add elemental damage types such as; arc, fire, void, acid, explosive, frost, etc. The ability to reforge or reroll stats on current weapons for a price and a one time change. Lastly a suggestion, but I don't see it happening sockets for weapons/armor to add elemental stats or bonus base stats.
