Realistic and Appealing Exotic Weapon Ideas: [ 36 ] and counting!!! ~This is for you Bungie! <3
[b]Exotic Ideas: [ 1 -10 ]:[/b] http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/74685687

[b]Exotic Ideas: [ 31 - 40 ]:[/b] http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/74994505
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are some ideas I have thought of and I have to say they are pretty good. I especially liked the "Black Hole" theme of my first Rocket Launcher idea, I hope you guys enjoy them too! (Hopefully in-game someday :D)
Feel free to share your ideas! I will continuously update this with more of my ideas and edit in ideas from you guys I think are both realistic and amazing (I'll credit you of course).
However, I stress that all my ideas are realistic and aren't over-powered in any way if you completely analyze its pros and cons in all its practical situations. Also, realistically, exotics have 2 perks (sometimes an initial one under damage type, making 3 [Icebreaker, Invective, Bad JuJu]) and the 1st one is always a standard perk followed by a 2nd "bizarre" one.
But don't let that stop you from sharing your idea of an auto rifle that fires rockets. Just understand that that will never happen, lol. I encourage you to share any idea; I encourage you even more to share a realistic idea, as it may open an eye for Bungie and boom: a new exotic!
If you see some ideas you like; PLEASE says so in the comments!

[b]FORMAT:[/b]
[b]Name - Weapon Type ( Element [if applicable] ) ~ Credit for Idea (if idea was presented by anyone other than me)[/b]
[i]"Description"[/i]
[u]Perks:[/u]
0. Default Perk (only applicable on a few weapons, not all)
1. Regular Perk (available to all weapons)
2. Exotic Perk (exclusive to this weapon)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[b]EDIT 1:[/b]
Unfortunately As I was typing up this edit, it's turns out there is a limit of like 10,000 characters. I will try to find a way to go around this:
[b]EDIT 2:[/b]
I am now going to add links to different posts in groups of 10 Exotic Weapon Ideas. This post will be the original; Please input all comments, suggestions, etc here as I am only going to be looking around on this post; the purpose of the other posts are to by pass the 10,000 character limit.
[b]EDIT 3:[/b]
Have now made separate posts for ideas. Yay! Click Links. Please try to respond only on original post as I don't want you or me to be searching other posts to look for the same ideas, lol.
[b]EDIT 4:[/b]
I would like to address that any weapons that increase a chance to drop loot (glimmer, engrams, etc, ) aren't realistic until Bungie makes a weapon that does something similar to that first. Increasing chance to drop ammo is ok, I guess. Also; you only need to provide the perks of your weapons, not the stats and stuff. You can if you want, but its just taking up to much room to include 7 other stats lol.
[b]EDIT 5:[/b]
If you are contributing an idea that you think is eligible for being added onto the Realistic and Appealing list, please use the FORMAT above so that I can do it faster :)
[b]EDIT 6:[/b]
To clarify; Feel free to comment on any of the posts, just post IDEAS on this main post. Also, I want to add that you do not need to write (kinetic damage) after primaries.
[b]CLARIFICATION:[/b] Credit is always given where credit is due; if there is no credit, that means idea was mine (buddy72757).
This had to be done due to a character limit of 10,000 characters:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[b]ATTENTION: [/b]I'm getting less and less feedback on the weapons currently on my list ever since I placed them on separate posts with links. Of course this had to be done, because there is a word limit. So every once in a while I'll do a "weapon spotlight" and copy and paste a random weapon idea onto the comments for you guys to share feedback. Likewise, you can visit the separate posts by clicking the conveniently placed links and respond feedback there or on this post if you like. As you can see, the links will direct you to Bungie.net so don't worry about anything.
[b]NOTE:[/b] Going to be out of town Saturday and Sunday. I'll be back to add more Sunday evening.

Edited by dorothyprez: 11/24/2014 6:16:34 PMExotic Nomenclature: The Singularity Weapon class: Primary Weapon type: Sniper Rifle Flavor text: [i]In a time before the Golden Age a prediction was born. "Man and machine will collide. Who so ever remains will be neither."[/i] 1st Perk: Transcendence: Due to advances in man/machine interfacing, a weapon scope is no longer required. Instead the scope zoom is now a feature of the optics in the eye. This results in a complete reduction in scope glint. 2nd Perk: Machine Sense: Advances in the field of sensor and automated response technology have given rise to this perk. While aiming down sights if a player is within a certain radius around the sniper and automated protocol triggers. This results in the sniper being automatically removed from ADS and equipping their special weapon. Increased special weapon fire rate and reload speed occur during this protocol. Let me know what you all think. Constructive criticism welcomed.

(Full light grants 100 bullets. No need to reload.) (1):Persistence: This weapon grows more accurate he longer it is fired. (2):Answer to life: Shields do not regenerate while holding this weapon.

[b]Mass cross acceleration[/b] Exotic shotgun Solar damage [i]Newton's laws are the fundamental basis of our universe, but they never said which ones superseded the others. -unique arms guide of the armoury.[/i] Perks: (1): Shot package: Aiming down this weapon's sights decreases the spread of the shot.

Claim more souls than you hope to. -Found scratched into the barrel.[/i] Perks: (1): Reactive reload: Reloading this weapon after killing an enemy increases damage for a short time. (2): The tyrant: This weapon has vastly increased stability, and fires in five shot bursts instead. [b]Perfection[/b] Exotic handcannon Kinetic damage [i]An entire decade was dedicated to the planning of this weapon, and another decade to perfect it.

Even in the hands of the unskilled, it succeeds in its function admirably.[/i] Perks: (1): Range finder: Aiming down this weapon's sights increases its range. (2): Perfection: This weapon has absolutely no recoil and perfect stability.

(2):Delta and alpha: Aiming down the sights vastly increases precision damage, but lowers the rate of firing. And a bonus [b]Exalted juju[/b] Exotic pulse rifle Void damage [i]Once it has murdered all of existence, and fed on their souls, will it reveal its true form. But what then, I ask, is the use, if existence does not acknowledge it? Then what will it be? -Toland the shattered.[/i] Perks: (0): Full auto: This weapon can be fired in full auto mode. (1): String of curses: Kills with this weapon instantly refills your magazine and increases damage for a short time. (10secs) (2): Nonexistent: Dying whilst string of curses is active will instantly revive you, and deal damage to surrounding enemies depending on how many enemies you have killed in that string of curses.

[b]Crystalline Lotus[/b] [i]Be still[/i] Exotic fusion rifle, deals arc damage. 6 round magazine. Fastest charge time in game with max stability, but low impact stat requires at least a 2HKO in PVP. [u]Perks:[/u] 1 Increased Agility - Weapon grants +2 agility. 2 Crystallize - hits with this weapon significantly reduce target movement speed. Perk would deal a 5% movement penalty per individual impact (or 35% per charge, assuming perfect accuracy), stacking up to maximum of 70%. Lasts five seconds. Seems doable. Let me know what yall think.

The Ghost - Exotic Scout Rifle "Shhhhhhhh" Quiet Killer- Firing this weapon does not alert nearby, unaware, enemies (makes almost no sound in pvp)

Edited by TheFrozenInferno: 11/22/2014 10:06:57 PMTriple Threat - Scout Rifle - Arc Damage "Third Time's The Charm" Perk 1: Third Eye (Radar On LDS) Perk 2: Perfect Balance (Low Recoil) Exotic Perk: Triple Tap (Fires three rounds in burst mode, each doing more damage than the last) Magazine Size: 30 (Upgradable to 33) Everything in threes. Aim low on an enemy, fire off a three round burst with each round increasing in damage, and the third round should hit the head with extra force for a precision kill. Perfect Balance controls the recoil enough that the three shots hit close to each other for accurate long-range bursts. Higher than average magazine size to account for ten to eleven bursts per magazine.

During the Battle of the 6 Fronts, the Titan who wielded her held an entire front by himself until reinforcements arrived. Machine Gun Solar Damage Perk1: Mulligan Perk2: ERRORCODESR666 - Rounds fired from this gun will almost never miss their target, moving towards it in midair.

My idea: "Jack of All Trades"-Exotic Scout Rifle Quote: Master of none? More like Master of all! Perks: press R3 (PS) to activate full auto (very fast rate of fire and low stability) and press again to turn back (long range high impact semi-auto)

Edited by Lousy: 11/9/2014 7:25:20 PM[b]The Chief's Rifle-Exotic Auto Rifle [/b] "A gun from a different time, and yet it looks oddly familiar…" [u]Perks:[/u] 1. Take a Knee- Bonus accuracy while crouched. 2. True Master- The bottom half of each magazine deals additional damage (25%), and each non-guardian critical kill regenerates super abilities quicker (15% quicker). (The gun will look like the Assault Rifle from Halo: Combat Evolved)

Shingen Extreme- This weapon's fire rate extremely increases the longer it is fired. The combination of the two perks would make the gun shoot as fast as the epilogue but still as stable as the Shingen-E

Edited by Anthem92: 11/16/2014 11:54:20 PMAhamkara's Breath (spelling?) "The price of knowledge" Exotic machine gun Solar damage Default: this gun shoots a jet of fire instead of bullets.
