When I first completed the storyline for Destiny, I couldn't help but feel underwhelmed by my reward. I mean, I've gotten better gear out of a purple polygon that dropped from killing a Dreg. I'm referring to The Stranger's Rifle of course. Here is a suggestion to make this weapon a viable part of our journey ahead. When fully upgrading the Rare version of this weapon (acquiring all Perks, maxing out the Damage, you know), a unique item will be sent to your postmaster. This item is actually the start of a special, elaborate Bounty to improve on The Stranger's Rifle. The initial item is called "The Stranger's Plea". Its description reads "[i]I helped you on your journey, Guardian. Now I need you to help me with mine.[/i] -The Stranger". Here are some possible steps for said Bounty. 1. Speak with Xur, Agent of the Nine. At this section, you will purchase an "Unresponsive Vessel" for one Black Wax Idol, one Ether Seed, one Resupply Code, and one Blue Polyphage. With this Vessel you will collect various samples of the Darkness. 2. Collect 75 Ether Capsules from Fallen enemies. Drops from almost all Fallen enemies, excluding Shanks and Walkers. 3. Gather 75 Timestream Droplets obtainable by killing Vex foes. Only drops from Axis Goblins, occasionally Hobgoblins, and Minotaurs. 4. Obtain 75 Summoning Wisps by eliminating Hive enemies. Drops from any Hive Majors or Ultras, Knights, Wizards, and very rarely Acolytes. 5. Collect 75 Fuel Canisters by taking out Cabal opponents. Drops will randomly occur from killing any Cabal enemy with precision damage, excluding Psions. 6. Bring the Vessel back to Xur. You will now return the Vessel to him, and he will activate it, becoming an "Unstable Vessel'. 7. You must Stabilize the Vessel. Do this by earning experience. You must earn 15,000 experience. Dying will subtract 5,000 from your count. 8. Upon completion of this section, the "Unstable Vessel" will become an "Attuned Vessel". 9. Speak to Brother Vance in the Reef. Here, you will be asked to give the Attuned Vessel to him, along with your maximized Stranger's Rifle. 10. Now you must wait. You must wait for the next arrival of Xur. Any time he has returned since you initiated the Bounty will work, as long as it is after the first visit used for the Bounty. For storytelling reasons, I thought I should share an idea for the description for the last segment, to shed light (no pun intended) on why exactly The Stranger had you do that: "[i]For ages, there was fear that the Darkness was more powerful than we could ever be. Now, you have changed that Darkness into a brighter Light than I could dream of[/i]. -The Stranger" With his arrival, you will receive a shiny, fully upgraded, Legendary-version, 370 Attack Damage "The Stranger's Rifle", with identical Skill Trees, Statistics, and the same cosmetics as the Rare Version, only a higher Attack Damage. However, its slightly unique Perk titled "Rewind" will be applied in the Tier Zero (Inherent Perk) Slot, like Full Auto on Bad Juju. In Rewind's place will be another unique Perk, called "Exo". Here's what it does. [b][u]Exo[/u][/b]: [i]Radar stays active while aiming down sights. Aiming this weapon at an enemy's critical point for a short time will deal significant damage, as well as electrocute it and other enemies around it.[/i] Please, if you work for Bungie, are part of the Destiny creation, and have any sort of heart for what you do, take this into consideration, and at least bring it up with someone within power. Thank you so much for reading, I know it was a lot for someone like you to take time out of your schedule for. Love, A forever-loyal fan
