Many in the community have come up with several good ideas as to upcoming exotics in future DLC content. And even though I doubt that people's ideas will be FULLY considered into a new weapon. There's always that chance that Bungie may take pieces of ideas to create an exotic of their own. So here's an idea of an exotic that I believe people would agree as being an interesting addition to the Special weapon category: Name: The Sidekick Type: Handcannon Elemental: None Category:Special weapon Statement: When all else fails, whip it out... Kinetic Damage Fire rate: 80/100 Impact: 60/100 Range: 10/100 Stability: 30/100 Reload: 30/100 Ammo: 6 per mag (12 extra on reserve) 18 total Ballistics: N/A (up to Bungie) 1st permanent bonus: Mulligan- Missing a shot has a chance to replace ammo straight to the magazine. 2nd Column bonuses: Agility- plus 2 character points when held. QuickDraw- switch to this weapon quicker. Field scout- extra reserve ammo carrying capacity (increased from 12 to 18) on top of the 6 currently in the weapon. 2nd permanent bonus (Signature): Wingman's Whip- Upon switching to this weapon its first shot deals additional damage, and when switching out from the weapon it automatically reloads itself (using whatever reserve ammo available, if any) My thoughts: When deciding on the make of this weapon I was thinking of how nice it would be to have a pistol secondary to finish weakened foes, like sidearms usually are in other games. I wanted this weapon to focus on immediate power and fire rate. It lacks the range or stability or reload speed for it to be abused other then it's purpose as a last resort... It's not a PRIMARY Handcannon, and should be used in the manner of a finisher when you run dry with your primary amidst a gunfight. It can be thought of as a more situational and narrow purposed "Last Word," but with very little chance of winning a straight up gunfight alone. It's signature ability is achieved later on to resolve its reloading issue, but if used as a primary, it's other setbacks will prove to be more of a hinderance and make it difficult to abuse. I hope you enjoyed the idea and that maybe you have comments on it with constructive feedback. I'm sure the idea of a special category Handcannon is in the making by Bungie. But I just wanted to see if I could come up with some likable ideas for one that people would find reasonable, balanced, and above all... Useful! Thanks again for reading!
