So I tried to make this thread earlier but it all got wiped. Basically this is a thread for discussing potential weapons that we might like to see in the game. I already thought up a few exotics earlier and hopefully I can put them down as about the same as they were. I'll also be suggesting a new weapon type for some of the exotics to belong to along with their current closest types. This will let us both be creative and since I know Bungie is watching it could help to give them inspiration. Exotic Jackhammer-Machine Gun "If at first you don't succeed, bring more bullets." Appearance:Slate/rust color scheme.Long octagonal barrel.Inner parts are exposed through open lines in the stock, and steam begins to pour out when fired.The end of the upper barrel has "wings" like those seen on some pulse rifles.The barrel does not spin, and is stacked vertically, giving a uniquely tall fire zone. *To accomadate, only the center barrel counts as a headshot. Scopes, firing mode is at default. Oiled Frame Jackhammer: Quick trigger pulls result in a quick burst. Accuracy and range increase with each pull, but impact drastically decreases. Insistence: Impact increases the longer you fire, but stability and fire rate greatly decrease. Hammer Forged Large Magazine but overheats if fired for two long. Don't expect to have much reserve ammo. Is meant to be a utility weapon. The user is expected to manage the large magazine and put it to the best use. High initial fire rate consumes rounds very quickly.Suggest firing in quick "punch" trigger pulls.Has a uniquely grotesque appearance. KINETIC Dunecaster-Shotgun(Heavy) "But a single grain of sand is the foundation of a tomb". Appearance:Brown with pearly white accents. Unique. Has a long body which resembles an implementation kept by ancient fireplaces.A large sliding piece moves back and forth rapidly while firing. Bulky tubes adorn the back end. Fires in full auto Clown Cartridge Dunecaster:Fires a wide group of many small rounds that do partial damage that stacks. Eye of the Storm: When firing in full auto there is no recoil. Feeding Frenzy Has a very fast fire rate and reload. Can be compared to other "focus weapons" from Bungie shooters. KINETIC Olympia's Finger-Rocket Launcher/RPG (Special) "Though her flames may burn slowly, they lick at infinity" Appearance:Golden scheme with firey red accents. Sleek and futuristic.Resembles a fuel rod cannon from Halo, albeit smaller. Reloading mechanism is reminiscent of the concussion rifle from the same series.Rapidly cycles cannisters to align with the barrel during burst fire. No scope Icarus Send It Omniscience:This weapon fires in bursts. Less rounds fire and explosions are larger when more targets are nearby. Olympia's Finger: Rounds that miss have a high chance of sending waves of solar fire at targets. Very adaptable weapon.Meant to balance the field when outnumbered. SOLAR Limitation Denied-Pulse Rifle "I said...NO." Appearance:Brick red with orange "plug" lights around the magazine area.Resembles most Cabal weapons in aesthetic.Barrel expels a fine black smoke after firing, and open magazine drips dark sludge while reloading. Pistol sights only Mulligan Focused Fire Headstrong: Rounds are explosive.Precise trigger pulls extend the burst up to three times. Limitation Denied:During any partial reload, the remainder of the magazine may be fired. Only the difference will load. Grenadier Confined Launch heavy recoil SOLAR Meant to be a weapon reminiscent of the Cabal.Heavy payload but packs quite the kick.For those who prefer pure damage. Calamity-Auto Rifle/SMG(Special) "What could possibly go wrong?" Appearance: Fleshy, pulsating appearance. Appears to be alive.Bone-like gears spin at the sides and bony pistons line the top of the barrel,moving during fire and glowing white-hot after firing. QuickDraw Injection Mold Hot Swap Calamity: The lower the magazine, the higher your impact and damage. Sympathy Pains: Bullets shatter, dealing damage to close targets. A weapon built for support and turning the tides of battle.Would likely dominate in team objective settings. VOID Jackal's Tooth-Sidearm/Repeater(Primary). "Back again for some fresh blood" Appearance:Silver with tan camo print. Long barrel with sharp teeth-like plates along the side. No ammo counter, but a row of pistons on each side that depress one by one as the magazine approaches empty. Crowd Control Jackal's Tooth: This weapon fires in a staggered burst. Consecutive hits increase accuracy but fire fewer rounds. (roughly half) Once Bitten: Precision shots slow enemy movement. Firefly High Caliber Rounds Hakke- style iron sights. A weapon that rewards persistent and merciless tactics. Each trigger pull "locks you in" for a battle with the recoil and stagger effect of the long burst. Continuous struggle against this rewards the player. KINETIC Brute's Lasso-Hand Cannon(Special) "Giddy up" Appearance:Ornate and rustic.Black with wooden-looking inlays.Muzzle splits in three and opens in a triangular fashion shortly after fire, as if pulling the rounds on invisible rope. No scope Oiled Frame Shot Package Brute's Lasso: Shots split into 3 rounds shortly after being fired. Wrangler:Hitting with all three rounds has a high chance to pull the target toward you. Outlaw Large magazine Great support weapon that rewards quick thinking. VOID Ahab Special-Scout Rifle(Heavy) "One persistent gun of a son." Appearance:Very long, lance-like. Dark green accents on a marble body.Sight juts from the side, like a rocket launcher. Shots appear harpoon-like. Hammer Forged Expect Complications: Near misses will linger and explode upon the next trigger pull. Ahab Special: Shots over penetrate and increase in damage for each target pierced. Focused Fire Grenadier A good choice for dealing with snipers and closing threats alike. Suffers somewhat at mid range, but a good player should be able to overcome this. VOID Second Thought-Sniper Rifle(Heavy/Special) "I thought I knew everything-does everything know me?" Appearance: Pumpkin orange with color- changing lights that run the length of the barrel. Clearly built by an indecisive soul. Cascade Second Thought:Double tapping the trigger causes the barrel to split and shoot a round to each side at a random angle. Then Again: Near misses will sometimes redirect at the nearest target for half damage. Can swap between heavy and special weapon mode. Heavy is very slow with massive damage. Special is quite fast with a damage debuff save for headshots. Hidden Hand Skip Rounds A jack-of-all trades weapon that rewards(you guessed it) indecision. Ever changing strategies are advised for best results. KINETIC Comet Console-Fusion Rifle "Like a bolt from the black" Appearance:Snowy grey color with geometric systems of lines that emit a faint light.Blocky and minimilistic.Triangular HUD at the top displays info in unknown glyph system. Has what appears to be a rectangular bayonette with a flat glowing tip. Send It Rodeo Explosive Rounds(special monochrome graphic) Single shot per-reload Comet Console: Projectiles fan out before curving inward and meeting again. Does not use ammo, must have time to recharge. Afterglow: Projectile trails linger and cause damage for a short time. A fusion rifle with a different philosophy.Takes a while to charge and feels almost like a rocket launcher. Best for precision kills when you see the enemy first.Excellent for trapping reinforcements behind the line of fire.Literally. KINETIC (think hard light)
