We have had a lot of gun quests, I think this boils down to, would you prefer to get your guns via RNG or skill?
Which quest to get an exotic gun was your favorite, and why? The Ice Breaker (yr3), or Gjallarhorn (yr3), or The Last Word, or Sleeper Simulant, or Touch of Malice, or The Thorn, or No Time To Explain, or the Necrocasm? Or something else?
We've had a lot of gun quests, some easier than others. Some requiring skill and others just having RNG on your side.
What was your favorite gun quest? And would you like it to be a model for gun quests going forward?
[I tried to do this as a poll, but we have far more guns to list than the poll system supports.]
-
Sleeper
-
Y1 Thorn was by far the most rewarding.
-
No time to explain was so unique
-
Spindle, NTTE and Sleeper. I thought they were all pretty challenging and rewarding quests. Biggest pain in the ass? - Imprecation.
-
No time to explain - all about the vog
-
Thorn. That strike was a challenge back in the days of forever 29.
-
Original Thorn. Great quest with an epic end battle. Done on Titan (!) and only had Swordbreaker and a heavy machine gun that was Void (didn't get Epilogue or Word of Crota until later). It took ages, and I was abysmal at crucible too so a real struggle throughout. The reward felt fitting for the effort too.
-
Outbreak Prime
-
Y1 Thorn on a hunter with no void primary and a blue fusion. Sitting in the entrance of the Summoning Pits killing adds until the 3rd tomb ship came. That was a quest. [spoiler]And the gun was worth getting.[/spoiler]
-
Yr1 Light in the Dark.
-
Black spindle No time to explain Gjallerhorn Sleeper simulant
-
Had a lot of fun with outbreak prime , thorn and gally!!! Although the sleeper quest and ntte were fun as well!

Many of the Year 1 Exotic Bounties were awesome in my personal opinion, because most of them were hard to complete and felt very rewarding. Soloing that Strike for Thorn before The Dark Below released was easily one of the greatest challenges for me. Currently, I think the Quest for Touch of Malice is my favourite. Because it simply requires skill (and a fireteam for the Raid) and there's no RNG in it. The Quest for the Exotic Sword is cool too, the last Strike at least. I love helping people with that Strike. I prefer Exotic Quests which have no RNG elements, they only require high skill and reward you for having that skill. Even while I'm reluctant with potentially shutting out people of obtaining a certain Exotic, I think a Quest which only the best in PvE or PvP can complete would be awesome. So that everyone knows "They have that exotic, they're good!". It also should be hard to carry people through that Quest. Maybe make certain parts solo only. :-) The most touchy Quest was for the Exotic Khvostov, hands down.

Original Thorn quest. Also really enjoyed the mission to get Black Spindle.
-
Outbreak prime. It took me days because I never looked at dattos video. Guess that math class paid off...
-
Quest - Y1 thorn Gun - Y1 gally and icebreaker low RNG. It kept us playing!!!
-
Year 1 Thorn quest
-
I have to say the original thorn bounty. It felt like a true challenge when it was done on a hunter.
-
Either Invective or Bad Juju.
-
Definitely Gjallarhorn or the Khvostov quests. Both of them felt like you were bringing back some old friends for another ride.
-
Mine has to be Outbreak Prime. I've never felt so accomplished in all my time in Destiny.
-
SGA Year 1. Reason: it was so damn easy to complete, the only draw back was waiting for Xur to return if you got it during the week. LOL
-
The one where you kill undying mind 1,400 times to get Y3 Fatebringer
-
Bad juju. Year 1 quest.
-
The most memorable ones were spindle and sleeper.
