So in the bungie stream, it was revealed that materials were needed by grinding strikes, crucible and public events to forge these vex themed weapons.
This is a good start. BUT, I believe Bungie has missed the mark on this, at least in terms of potential.
Random rolls don't seem to be coming back. So my idea is:
There are 11 forgeable weapons. If Bungie were to say, OK, there are 5 variants of each 11 guns, whereby ONE perk is different, this would increase the grind further to find the variation you want.
IE:
Gun1 - Snapshot sight, Adaptive Frame, Firefly
Gun 1 (Variation 2) - Snapshot sight, Adaptive Frame, Cocoon
Gun 1 (Variation 3) Snapshot sight, Adaptive Frame, Outlaw.
This could be a start, and if successful could be rolled out across all other guns in the game. IF a OP god gun is found, then they could simply reel that one variation in.

I wrote the same in a bungie s post months ago But for all the weapons in the game
