love or hate Destiny I think a little of all of us can admit that; although solid and awesome, the combat can become a little stale after a while, especially when you've levelled up all 3 classes so I'd like to make a suggestion, which could offer a completely new and fresh combat mechanic. Quite simple put 'Corruptible or hot wire-able Shanks.' [b]Corruptible or hot wire-able Shanks[/b] [u][/u] As you know those pesky Shanks are pretty stupid unless you get the shielded 'Noble Shanks' which are just a pain in the arse, I suggest being able to hot-wire a heavily damaged Shank in order to have it fight for you until it dies. The spawn rate would be just as random and rare as purple loot drops (to ensure that when you do get one it's exciting, also ensures that not everyone will have one flying around with them) To further add to the depth of having a Shank with you, they could also level up buy getting kills, so say levels 1-10 are achieved by standard enemy kills like 5 Vandals or Cabals then levels 10-20 are achieved by killing Captains or yellow health bar enemies. Levels after 20 and up to 30 could be achieved by boss kills. The unique thing about it would be that, in order to level up it's your Shank that would have to be the one that GETS the kill. Adding a new level of tactical play to your game as you would have to weaken the enemies and then let your Shank mop them up (whilst protecting it from other enemies) to increase in level. Each time your Shank levels you could be offered upgrade options for it, for instance: More health shields different weapons (like Fusion or Rockets) different weapon element damage output the ability to revive you a set number of times (cool-down possibly) Ammo pick up Chest locator Increased Glimmer extraction the ability to flush out enemies that are hiding behind cover Shock capabilities (freezing enemies for good melee or head shot advantage) Also some basic cosmetic upgrades too (which could require the dismantling of weapons and armour) in order to make your Shank personal to you. This would be a PVE only feature, I really can't see how it would work on PVP. Also if your Shank dies it dies and the next Corruptible Shank you find will be a level 1 again. So it'd pay to really protect and level it. So that's that, what do you think? If you do like this idea please spread it, the only way stuff like this is going to get put in the game by Bungie is if they actually see it. 1 last thought for you all, Sparrow combat (not guns on your Sparrow) but being able to shoot your primary weapon from your sparrow 1 handed whilst moving. Also maybe add some sort of pike on the front of it which could impale enemies when you run them down!
