We've all seen the Kvostov in action in the Crucible. We've all seen the killstreaks and upsets Guardians achieve with it. I think it's time that it gets its own quest and upgrade, much like the Husk of the Pit got.

The venerable Kvostov auto-rifle was a versatile weapon platform, able to change firing modes with the flip of a switch. Most examples are damaged beyond repair and only able to be used in fully-automatic mode, but some are found in pristine condition. A marvel of the Golden Age, this model was further upgraded and imbues each fire mode with a different elemental type.

Quest: Reunited - Fallen have been raiding Golden Age caches all across the Cosmodrome. It falls on you (and your fireteam if you have one) to step in and deal with these looters. Bring any interesting finds to the Vanguard (and possibly Xur, your Faction Leader, Amanda Holliday, etc) for glimmer rewards and possibly something special (the weapon itself).
