Boredom, a stroke of creativity and a burst of excitement playing Destiny made me come up with a few deigns, edited co-designed by my lady, who is a much better and more knowledgeable player and patron of the series. I tried to make something that either I haven't seen done yet, or would add more mystery to the World of Destiny. I mean, we really need to be paying more attention to story, design and the overall mythos that is Destiny and not just killing/teabagging each other for drops if we want to be more invested in the game and have a richer experience. Then again, I'm one of those dorky ass dude that read the grimoire cards at times and watch the youtube for the theories. So egh... Anyway... Lemme know what you folks think! Also I apologize for the crappy quality of the design sketches, I don't own photoshop and MangaStudio isn't equipped to make crappy phone pics look like visual gold. http://i.imgur.com/sGvHYoD.jpg [b][SPECTRUM][/b] There is nothing unnatural in this world. All things must exist with it's equal and opposite counterpart. VOID-BASED EXOTIC PRIMARY Scout Rifle Usable by all classes (since there is supposed to be three of them ;) ) Stats would be like Hand Of Judgment or Last Extremity. [b][u]Perks[/u][/b] [b]Slot 1 [/b] Prism: Phos- Precision kills will endow the user with any random buff. (ie; hot swap, crowd control, reactive reload, etc.). Stackable up to 3X [b]Slot 2[/b] Red dot-ores Ranged Lens RLS3 Truesight IS [b]Slot 3[/b] Hip Fire [b]Slot 4[/b] Perfect Balance Rangefinder Casket Mag [b]Final slot[/b] Prism: Schwartz- Precision kill will randomly cause an enemy to explode causing fallout damage to surrounding enemies and cause a series of stacked random debuffs (ie; poison, burning, surpressed, weighed by darkness, etc.) Sort of like Bad Breath in Final Fantasy. [u][b]Appearance and Aesthetics:[/b][/u] It's a lever action Winchester-style Scout Rifle, so each shot would need the latching animation. Think Erron Black in Marksmen mode when he does the backing up while shooting. The hilt of the gun is made of stained dark redwood finish, ahamkara bone that has grooves and indentation that looks like a simple map of some sort. The metal is a more rose gold or even faded gold, and the barrel is made up of a quartz crystal designed to channel and focus the energy to be shot. The reload would be swappable crystalline packs that act as a collider or negotiator of sorts for the sort of power being absorbed by the gun itself to the point where the energy goes to the quartz barrel to be fired. Said packs can only fire a certain amount before overheating and need cooldown time. Various crystalline packs were created to expedite the process for combat sitautions so as one cools down, the others are on standby. The quartz crystal also glows slightly with a gradient of three different colors from the roygbiv sprectrum and changing from planet to planet or maybe level in presence of darkness. (Ode to LOTR) The sound could be like a hard electrical sound like Plan C or Sleepers Simulant. The bullets that are shot have an aesthetic of that like hard light or sleeper. (If programming wasn't a bitch it may change color like the quartz) I think the more overt mystery as you're playing with the weapon, or any other weapon made from here on out, would be incredible. [b]Possible Pros:[/b] This gun will always give you consistent stackable stat boosts, albeit random, if your aim is right. This would make you a one man army in situation where you'd be the last man standing and have to hold out until revive is available. It's powerful impact and hip fire capability makes it a viable weapon for various combat situations. It's also a void-based primary, so if a void-armored enemy needs taking care of, you won't be short of bullets. Also, something very trolly about killing someone in pvp with a rainbow gun. Fear the f*cking unicorn beams, bro. [b]Possible Cons: [/b] The unpredictability of perks, especially Schwartz, may come across to some players as inconvenient in times of need. The slower rate of fire may be outgunned by autos or pulses for the average player who isn't used to scout rifles like Last Extremity in a close ranged situation where switching weapons isn't an option. [u][b]Backstory:[/b][/u] With many guardians, curiosity of the darkness and it's nature has always been a factor. The small group of guardians in which this gun has origins is no different. A Defender Titan, a Voidwalker Warlock, and a Sunslinger Hunter were curious about the Void energy in order to better tap into it's power, or defeat it if necessary. Upon various observations of this energy; it's energy output, relation to the rest of matter, gravitational forces, etc. They found that void energy, much like light, has it's own unique electromagnetic spectrum and radiation output which, depending on the point of it's spectrum, affects different aspects of nature: Mood, biomechanics, objects, forces of attraction and repulsion, etc. Even more curious is it's relation to light and matter in an almost harmonious manner. It may be possible that the darkness isn't much a complete enemy as it is a force of nature, which needs to be respected and controlled if needed. It is it's excess and ability to consume all aspects of living matter which makes it a very dangerous enemy, but living without this matter would be impossible, and possibly just as dangerous. Using the bones of an Amhakara, and a highly resilient and radiant, albeit rare, tree found on Mercury; the sunslinger crafted three identical guns in type and design that embodies the ideas of balance and synergy between the light and the dark. The weapon's two objects (the wood and bone) have energy vibrations that consistently balance each other out so that it doesn't overcome the user but endows them with tremendous power and knowledge. Even affecting the bone in a curious manner of creating what could be seen as a mapping or pattern, adding more mystery to both this weapon and the energies it hosts. Of course, as many things that encourage acceptance or understanding of the darkness, this gun was seen as an abomination and outlawed by the council, and was never seen of again... Until now. http://i.imgur.com/qu3NJbi.jpg [b][EL JEFE V.2][/b] I made an exotic heavy sidearm, but I realized how retarded that sounded so I just made it into a legendary sidearm with a sleek design. The gun would be a very reflective black with dark grey streaks due to it being made up of obsidian type rock found on Mars, and will have an option for chroma in the back of the gun. It's might have a tad more power than the other guns, maybe by like 5 or so points, and so for balance the gun is about 5 points slower. But any sidearm user worth their salt doesn't fire that rapidly anyway unless they plan to lose. I mean, am I right, fellas? Sigh... Anyway, the thing that makes this kinda cool is that it'll be the first sidearm with explosive rounds. For those of you who don't know about er and how they can f*ck up your day, you need to ask somebody. Now put that with a sexy looking gun with an rof of 95. You got fun in the palm of your hands there, buddy. Now since its a legendary all the stats and perks are likely to change depending on the drop. But cmon, you know you want to catch someone with their pants down, and watch them turn into a pillar of salt like some ode to Lot's wife when you hit them with the rocket's red glare. Anyway, tell me what you think. And Bungie guys, if on the off chance you're looking and you actually like the idea enough to consider using it... Please make this! I don't care about credit or payment. I just want to use this thing and get even more amped. [spoiler]Moderator edit: This thread has been moved to the #Destiny forum.
