Should Xur Sell Replacement Damage types for special and heavy weapons?
I believe that Xur should sell a random Damage type replacement for primary, special or heavy weapons for 30 strange coin or 30 mote lights. That could only be used once per weapon. It would randomly select a different damage type for it to change to void, solar, or arc damage.
Example: if you got the ice breaker sniper rifle for the 2nd or 3rd time. You could buy a random damage type replacement for it and it will change to void or arc damage.
Edit
If they would add Primary weapons that could be add damage type would be exotics like hawkmoon, Suros, Red Death and etc.
Special weapons and heavy weapons that could be change is all legendary and exotics.

1 ReplyI think it would be OK only if that weapon already had elemental damage. Like, you shouldn't be able to add elemental damage to suros regime, but you can change Atheon's Epilogue to a different elemental damage.

1 ReplyI wouldn't mind that. For the longest time I couldn't get a decent void special, and that made nightfall and such a pain.

1 ReplyAt some point people are going to accrue a lot of Strange Coins. Adding Element Kits for Primary weapons at 50 Strange Coins wouldn't be unreasonable. 15 Strange Coins for Special and Heavy weapons, since they are commonly already Elementally charged.

I don't really care one way or another, but I can tell you right now there's no effing way I'm spending 30 coins or motes on a random chance for a slightly different version of a weapon I already have. If you need different damage types then carry a damn backup.

1 ReplyMaybe he could sell one time weapon mods that change your damage type for the duration of a strike, mission, raid or crucible match? Or for a set time limit like the damage boosters.

1 ReplyI really like the idea of Xur selling elemental options for exotic primaries. This makes sense

Edited by Artoria Pendragon: 11/5/2014 7:54:58 PMNo, people would just use this every week for the nightfall. Make it like 40-50 strangecoins to change ONE exotic only gun (can't be used on kinetic damage guns like suros) and MAYBE that will be balanced enough Edit: Just re read it and saw you want it to cost 30 and give only a random damage type not a specific one, so that's not as OP, but if it weren't random it would have to be as I stated earlier or similar.

No op

6 RepliesNo one would use any exotic besides icebreaker or gjallarhorn in pve. Get three of each and then just match element to burn modifier.

1 ReplyEdited by x_8-BitZombie_x: 11/5/2014 6:58:56 PMI doubt they would let us reroll anything on raid/exotic gear since they are themed items; but I like the idea just be prepared for people who 'wasted' all of their coins on rerolling the same damage type they were trying to replace....

That would be stupendous

1 ReplyMaybe like 12 strange coins or something but great idea.
