So an idea I had for a new exotic sidearm would actually go in the heavy slot... and have 0 impact. Basically the sidearm would function as a tool to ping an area to be bombarded from above. At first I was thinking missiles that would be transmitted in from above so it’d have an excuse to work indoors, but then I had a much better idea. Cabal drop pods. Ping an area and mark it with one of those red circles of death, and a few seconds later a cabal drop pod will fall from the sky crushing anything underneath. If Kargen could do it in the insight terminus strike we should be able to for lore reasons. A good exotic catalyst could be to fill the drop pods with random loyalist cabal that would help you/ your team or maybe even random red legion from the prison of elders that just fight everything. Or maybe just fill it with explosives or even just a very small chance for bunch of ammo for [b]everyone[/b] to pick up. This exotic wouldn’t be the best or the most competitively viable or a dps king, but it would be fun.
Edit: It would essentially be the target locator from halo reach but shooting cabal drop pods or maybe a Rasputin Valkyrie air strike like some of you suggested.

Make it Rasputin themed and have it drop Warsats on people
-
sounds like the orbital laser gun from fallout new vegas....

Guy walks into a bar. Downs 6 shots and 6 beers in 5 minutes Bartender asks “why you drinking like that?” Man says “last night I got drunk and blew chunks” Bartender says “Hell we have all thrown up” Man says “Chunks is my dog”

No. Play the game.

Then it will rain water balloons from the sky....

Something I've been asking for on the sidearm front for a while now: dual-wield sidearms. Get that John Woo vibe in the game!
-
When you mark a spot, lord shaxx comes flying down from the sky and starts punching things.

10/10. Also give me a Handcannon that’s an actual cannon.
-
So Euclid's C-Finder? Sounds cool.
-
-
[quote]Exotic Heavy Sidearm[/quote] Yeah, it's called a hand cannon.

I've always liked the idea of "orbital strike" type weapons, but what if our ships were involved? It kind of ties into making jumpships more than just a loading screen; have us able to mod them with different capabilities, and be able to use these capabilities for aerial support. Say you mod a ship with cannons, target the designator between two points and the ship will spray a barrage of suppressive, rapid fire guns along the area in a straight line. Or it could be modded with precision missiles, which would do heavy damage to a single target. Bombs? Why not? Dump a payload in a general area that would throw opponents(and allies alike if not careful) all over the place. Could even have support options, like the ship dumping a bunch of ammo.

So....a hand cannon..
-
So the satellite weapon from gears of war. Ok

[spoiler]the sky begins speaking strange Russian noises[/spoiler]

Love this. Do this. Bungie!!!
-
Edited by Emurinus: 9/26/2019 1:37:11 AMMake it a sidearm that shoots Valkyries.
-
Didn’t Bungie do this in... was it Reach? Cool idea, and now that I’m thinking about it, it’s probably what the Valkyrie should have been. Thinking back to Ghost Fragment 2: [spoiler] She has the sense of something old lifting a long spear. Testing its heft. Then dawn light, a terrible dawn—the sky opens up to admit devastation, thrown down from orbit: Minotaurs fall burnt and broken with their fluids boiling out. Cabal guns detonate in thunderous chains as tiny piercing flechettes fall out of the sky and find their ammunition bunkers.[/spoiler]
-
Like....from Halo Reach?
-
If it were an IKELOS device and the orbital bombardment were javelins from a warsat that would be pretty cool.
-
An orbital valkyrie blast from Rasputin would be sick AF!!!!!! Could have him say some wierd shit in Russian as it fires...."die you fukking Hive scum" or something else along those lines
-
GoW Hammer of Dawn... Oh the memories.
-
Hammer of dawn.. rasputin style.
-
So basically Gears of War's Hammer of Dawn?
-
Transmat explosives in. We did it for a story mission. Not a bad idea.
-
I already love it. I hope that you could call in your ship to do strafe runs between mark1 and mark2 in a straight line. Imagine wave 7 Escalation Protocol with jets doing bombing runs against the boss and all the mobs! [b][i]BRRRRRRRRRT BRRRRRRRRRRRR...[/i][/b] Awh dude you're making me all happy and sh!t...
