If you look at the design of the weapon it has a striking resemblance to some of the weapons already revealed by bungie in the rise of iron. The weapon has a advanced design with the wires and cables resembling the cables shown on new SIVA infused weaponry.
The main focus is the description of the weapon which reads,
"Subroutine IKELOS: status=complete.
MIDNIGHT EXIGENT: Status=still in progress."
As we all know the version of the weapon attained from completing the quest is the IKELOS which is listed as complete. The MIDNIGHT EXIGENT version of this weapon alludes to the weapon not being fully complete and the SIVA technology has been used to upgrade weapons already known to us.
This could mean that the MIDNIGHT EXIGENT version will be obtainable during the SIVA outbreak. I have not done any research into it but I looked for a post similar to this one on this app and nothing came up.
I am sure everyone has a million reasons and a whole load of evidence against this but if so comment so you can prove me wrong.

People need to learn what Midnight Exigent actually is

1 ReplyBungie should make a system where all exotics can be upgraded to a new tier, so they wouldn't be exotic but something even more powerful, basic idea may not sound cool but put some thought into what this could be and there might be some potential

2 RepliesIt's an exotic pulse rifle. And from the looks of it, a damn good one. Not sure if I will be using ghorn or the pulse rifle most of the time (it pretty much has wolf pack rounds on a PRIMARY)

I HEARD SLEEPER

MIDNIGHT EXIGENT is Rasputin's plan for surviving the darkness.
-
Midnight Exigent is the guardians battle against the darkness.
-
Actually it's just his way of saying things, the last part of the weapon is saying that our war with the darkness is still going, he calls guardians THEM and the darkness IT
-
I'm fairly sure that there's just a lot more SIVA like weapons that bear resemblance to rasputins weapon the sleeper simulant.

3 RepliesEdited by DrifterYor: 8/28/2016 1:18:56 PMSorry for the long post. I too noticed the similarity, but MIDNIGHT EXIGENT is one of the protocols Rasputin enacted during the collapse. His goal was always the protection of humanity, but none of his weapons did anything against the darkness. Therefore he enacted MIDNIGHT EXIGENT, and went dark, and began looking for new soloutions. When we found him he created a new subroutine called IKELOS. It was based on the subroutine DVALIN FORGE, which he used to arm humanity with fusion rifles during the collapse. IKELOS was a new version of that subroutine that would arm us with better fusion rifles. IKELOS is complete because we are armed with the rifle, and MIDNIGHG EXIGENT is still in progress because his long term survival is still not guaranteed.

2 RepliesIt would be a new twist to things if there are new hidden quests that add further upgrades to existing exotics. Especially with some items that are not that great at the moment There will be players that complain about this though because they don't have the original exotic or it doesn't give them something new

Glad to see you get hyped, but odds are it's an ornament.

7 RepliesIKELOS is Rasputin helping us in MIDNIGHT EXIGENT which is out fight against the darkness
-
midnight exigent is what rasputin calls the darkness, as long as it's around midnight exigent will be in progress...
-
4 RepliesThat weapon is a new exotic pulse rifle.
-
My only reason against this is... Midnight exigent is how rasputin call the darkness. The description simply means that the darkness isnt destroyed yet.
-
Maybe it'll have an ornament that will make it SIVA

8 RepliesEdited by Haffoc: 8/28/2016 1:18:41 PMMIDNIGHT EXIGENT refers to a longer term plan that Rasputin started just before the collapse. It's possibly something he is working on to make himself the final victor. Something he learnt from the Darkness. IKELOS was created for the purpose of tricking Guardians into defending Rasputin whilst he continued working on Midnight Exigent.
