Do you have an idea for an exotic that you'd like to see in Destiny? I'd love to hear it! Here are some of mine: (Note: the Metallica theme in some of the names was a coincidence that I noticed just as I started posting this.)

Alpengeist
Rocket Launcher
Heavy - Stasis
Blast radius: 100
Velocity: 20
Stability: 0
Handling: 0
Reload speed: 0
Rounds per minute: 10
Magazine size: 1 (X1)
Exotic perk:
(Warning: Not intended for indoor use!) This weapon fires a volley of rockets that clusters in the air and rains down massive amounts of hail on the battlefield, damage is dependent on how many projectiles hit a target.
(For context, this weapon should be able to deal a good 500K without buffs)

Mack
Linear Fusion Rifle

Stability: 0
Handling: 0
Reload speed: 20
Magazine size: 8 (X1)
Charge rate: 3,000
Exotic Perk:
Strong against unstoppable champions, rounds knock enemies into tomorrow, stunning them.
(I cannot emphasize how hard it kicks enemies. Enemies aren't just stunned, they are knocked a few yards back like they were just hit by a Mack truck. Hence the name "Mack". It's also a good reference to the MAC rounds the weapon uses.)
Catalyst effects:
Reduces charge rate (1500)
Increases magazine and reserves (12)

Seek And Destroy
Combat Bow
Heavy - Solar
Impact: 100
Accuracy: 100
Stability: 20
Handling: 20
Reload speed: 20
Magazine size: 1 (X12)
Draw time: 6000
Exotic perk:
Fires a flaming arrow barrage that deals great damage and scorches enemies. Keeping the reticle over the enemy for more than 5 seconds, while drawing (6 second draw time), maxes the amount of arrows that are launched (10), the damage dealt, and grants the arrows homing. Release to fire. Failure to fire before auto-release will cause the arrows to backfire, cracking the user's shield. Auto-release fires immediately once the bow is fully drawn.
(The reticle missiles from Twisted Metal: Black is a good reference, since that's the inspiration.)
Catalyst effects:
Backfiring no longer deals damage to the user.

[b]Exotic Armor:[/b]
Hardwired to Self-Destruct
Warlock chestplate
Exotic effect:
Consuming grenades erode the user's shield, but empowers the user's super, recharging partial energy. If the user's super is already charged, consuming grenades overcharges it, stacks up to 4 times. (Think about the Stareater Scales for Hunters)
---
Ride the Lightning
Titan Boots
"You don't just ride the lightning, you become the lightning." -Commander Zavala
Exotic effect:
When Thundercrash runs out of energy, the user's shield is consumed to extend the duration of Thundercrash. Thundercrash moves faster and is easier to arch upwards. (The lightning also turns red when your shield has been consumed)
---

Hunter helmet
Exotic effect:
While in a fireteam, benefits received are forfeit, but are granted to the rest of the party trifold.

When cast, Well Of Radiance drops special and heavy ammo. Weapon clips feed straight from reserves and primary weapons have botomless clips while in the well.
---
Master Of Puppets
Hunter Arms
Exotic effect:
The guardian's charged melee is replaced with a long range dart that infects enemies, turning them against their allies. This won't affect bosses and challenging enemies.

Any of these sound good? Let me know.

3 RepliesVerbolten and Ride the Lightening seem incredibly balanced and realistic as exotic options. I have one issue with Load, which is that it's giving 2 ammo types with no penalty. Well is already an incredibly powerful Ult in both PVE and PVP. If you want to buff it, it needs some penalty interaction (either reduced duration, reduced healing, or directive penalties to the Warlocks CDs. I don't think it's a bad idea for Well or Bubble to have some sort of ammo drop interaction, but not without cost. I want to like Mack, but coming from a franchise that was CC heavy (ie Overwatch) I believe it is incredibly dangerous to introduce weapon CC into a game that has virtually zero. Stasis is the only CC in the game and it's only a few abilities that hard CC players and ads. That said, personally I'd like to see more Stasis exotics. I'd love to see one that changes the interactions of the Behemoth super to where crystals automatically explode after 1-2 seconds. It's such an underwhelming Super at this point in time across all gamemodes. I don't know if this should be a Hunter/Warlock exclusive weapon, but I'd love to see the following- The Dagger of Ahamkara: Equippable Special Energy melee weapon- When using the block mechanic (no actual shield) the Dagger charges a lunging melee (Like Lament) consuming ammunition. The dagger can also be thrown, also consuming ammunition, and has a kinetic melee (though significantly weaker in attack and range). I have a few standing exotic changes I'd like to see: Citan's Ramparts: Players can now shoot through Ward of Dawn. Stronghold: Now applies same guard efficiency to glaives. Aeon Cult Exotics: Stacking buffs on Exotic weapons now apply to all fire team members running said exotic. Eternal Warrior: Melee Kills while in Fists of Havoc extend the over shield duration at the cost of class energy.
