I know that there have been a few forum topics that have addressed this, but I want to see if we can actually get some of these ideas to Bungie to put into the actual game. I've often thought that it would be cool if they had a contest or a system in the game for community-created content, particularly exotics and even some legendary items. That said, if you have a cool idea for an exotic weapon or armor piece, list a name, a brief description of what it looks like, and what exactly the exotic perk would be for it. Any other perks to help make these weapons and armor stand out would probably help. Here's some of my ideas: [b]The Whole Nine Yards[/b] [i]"Studies of Pre-Golden Age conflicts prove that the more lead you throw at your enemy, the more likely you are to win."[/i] Exotic Machine Gun Would look like an air-cooled WWII machine gun, either .30 cal or .50 cal. Could also have Dragon's Breath style paint scheme, or similar fighter plane aesthetics The Whole Nine Yards (perk): weapon damage increases with each round fired (becomes more powerful the longer it is fired, rather than based on how many rounds are used) [b]Evil Twins[/b] [i]"How do you tell which one's which?" -"Don't know. I don't trust either."[/i] Exotic Sidearm, sidearm as a primary weapon Would be a pair of pistols being dual-wielded. Could look like any black semi-automatic pistols. Doppelganger (perk): Increased stability when firing from the hip, critical hits from the hip return a round to the magazine [b]Over the Horizon[/b] [i]"It's like distant thunder. You can tell how far out it is by counting seconds between the flash and the explosion."[/i] Exotic Sniper Rifle, Sniper rifle as a heavy weapon Would look like a very large-caliber sniper rifle with an extremely long-range scope Very high damage, small magazine, low rate of fire. Maybe bullet overpenetration as well. One Shot, Many Kills (perk): Fires significantly more powerful explosive rounds. [b]X-25a ICFS (another placeholder kind of name) [/b][i]The X-25a Individual Combat Flight System was pulled from a Golden Age schematic found within the archives at Old Accra. Titans were quick to adapt it to existing movement strategies. [/i]Exotic Chest Armor (Titan) Looks like an armor piece with a large jetpack kind of mechanism on the back that has thrusters or things like that on it. Jetpack (perk): Significantly improves Lift (either by increasing Lift height and/or distance, or granting the Catapult perk). Adds a short dash ability (similar to the Hunter's new Shadowstep ability) Please post your ideas for not just weapons but also armor as below! I'll add more as I think of them.
