What was your first exotic weapon that you got that you really enjoyed? These are pre DLC exotics. State your reasoning below if you'd like, just curious of what people liked way back when. Try to shoot for pre-DLC and pre-patched (fixed) versions.
Personally, I loved the Thorn back when it had fewer bullets, slower fire, and less DoT; back when no one used it. It was just a fun fun for me. Unfortunately, it's ruined for me now. The fun is all gone from it and I miss that.

The only exotic weapon I have is Bad Juju. When I first got it, I hated it. Burst fire is far from my favourite thing in shooters, so the fact that I'd been saddled with a pulse rifle of all things as my only exotic set me off to a great start. I equipped it anyway, and hated it exactly as I'd expected. It was weaker than my beloved blue hand cannon despite being exotic, had a tiny magazine, and had those annoying bloody particles that obscured the view down the sights. I started equipping it for bounty experience only, and finally managed to level it up to String of Curses. Finally, I had a gun that I didn't hate quite as much, and did just enough more damage than anything else I had that I couldn't justify not using it. Fast forward a few months and the much-needed buff to the thing, and now, against all odds, I love the thing. I still don't like pulse rifles, but my plucky little unloved Juju has carried me so far it would be hard not to have grown attached. I ascended it today, and now I've gone from doing well in Iron Banner to regularly placing top 2 or 3. I didn't choose Bad Juju, I never wanted it. But I'm glad it's my only exotic because it's a great little gun that won my heart against all odds, and that will forever make it special.

Ice breaker, greatest gun ever

People will probably laugh at me, but I enjoyed my Super Good Advice for a while. First exotic I got and I was stuck with it for a damn long time.

Hawkmoon
-
Monte carlo. First exotic and probably the best looking gun in the game. Not used it since the buff on auto rifles tho :(
-
Suros always
-
Bad Juju all the way. Greatest exotic in my opinion, or maybe that's my inner Warlock speaking.
-
Plan c was my absolute favorite. It was amazing in pvp, and good in pve. Kinda sad that it sucks now, I had some of my best crucible games spamming it.

Ghorn :o my mates raged at me for getting it straight away I laughed away the rage with the tears of my fallen foe :)
-
Favorite was vex pre 34% damage nerf. Holy shit that gun was a beast. Oh and second favorite would be ice breaker cause it was my first exotic

Thorn
-
My first exotic was ice breaker and I got it before I even knew what exotics were. I enjoy the hell out of it in pve and pvp
-
My first was the thorn. And i still enjoy using it
-
I love the hard light because it's so unique.
-
I got the SUROS Regime the 2nd day the game was out from a legendary engram. Then the next day I proceeded to get the Truth and Monte Carlo. None of those are my favorite, but I just like to brag.

Invective. Slow reload and high recoil, but damage output was so worth it, especially with the buff they put on to it pre-TDB
