Okay, so I've been playing Far Cry 4 basically all night and while I was playing I found myself really enjoying the bow. I loved everything about it from the way you moved with it, the arrow mechanics, the satisfying Fffft sound you hear whenever you strike a member of the royal guard. Then I got to thinking, what if they put a bow in Destiny! IMO this would be great because it wouldn't be overpowered, sure it would kill in one hit but your actually have to land the shot, plus you have the draw time and arrow drop off. Honestly how fun would it be to hunt vandals or vex in the forests of Venus? It could be classified as an exotic weapon, maybe a special, and perhaps it's special upgrade could be that the arrows are formed from the Guardians light, causing it to fire faster, farther, and not require ammo. These are just a few ideas (bare with me I literally stayed up all night so these ideas might sound far fetched) lemme know down in the comments what you think! Oh and a crossbow would be cool to have, in case any of you had that idea, but let's stick with a regular drawn bow for this discussion.
Edit: Great Feedback so far! Thanks for all the ideas and sugestjons guys, keep em coming let's see if we can catch bungies Eye!

Yes! I freaking love bows! I'd choose one over any gun any day!
-
An Arc bow would be super sweet, it shoots bolts of elemental damage!

-
"Vex Mythoclast" of the house of wolves confirmed!
-
2013 was the year of the bows, 2014 is the year of the broken games.
-
Love bows! Great ideas!!
-
Haven't played destiny since inquisition and far cry 4.
-
You should have to use the to kill those stupid gorgons in the raid.
-
Yes love bows in every game warframe, crisis, far cry hell even games like dragon age
-
There already is a bow in Destiny. Play an awoken and use your "wave" emote. Instant bow.
-
Far cry is superior in every way to destiny. The story is comprehensible (until the mission when your in the jail on the mountains..I'm kinda lost there...) the gameplay is just as good (once auo aim is off) world is so much bigger and so much more to do. So many different weapons not just once legendary from each weapon type. Looks just as nice. And who doesn't love a good psychotic bad guy who seems to want your D. That guy kills me. I can't put far cry down
-
Bow and/or a special melee animation for bayoneted weapons. It would be great to be able to pick up the arrows again
-
If it was as cool as in Crysis 3 , especially if you get temporary invisibility and different mods for arrows ...
-
No I don't think so.
-
No. Keep that stuff for enjoyable games like Far Cry.
-
Yeah, I wouldn't mind some more melee oriented weapons. I really enjoy the thrown Knife aspect of my hunter, and would love to see other things of that nature. I wish to RNGesus that there were stealth kills in this game, like in Halo4. Imagine sneaking up on a Fallen, getting nice and close, and then Shanking him? Or breaking his neck? Something fun. I mean, hell, there Are ways to go stealth, this is just the next logical step...
-
Sounds cool. Lets just change the name from Destiny to Warframe 2 while we're at it.
-
Make it a special weapon, basically a variant of a Fusion rifle. The draw time would be the charge time, and instead of sending out a medium ranged shotgun burst it would send out a medium ranged single shot.
-
It could be an energy bow. Kind of like Chewbacca's Crossbow. Medium draw time, no drop. Would be cool if it was a traditional bow and arrow, but precision kills didn't register with AI enemies (didn't register in the collective mind). You could stay unseen and just drop enemies without them seeing you or pinpointing you. True stealth.
-
I'd love a bow, as long as you can keep it drawn for as long as you want, with a penalty to speed/movement or something.
-
That would be pretty cool and the arrows would be the type of elemental damage
