  • Note: This is not my idea. I can't remember the original poster, but I really like this idea and would like to see it seed. Xur sells a black "shadow" version of exotics. When you think about it, this makes more sense than him running around with millions of original Icebreakers. Instead, Xur sells a functionally equal carbon copy of the "real" exotics. What do you think? --------------------------------------------------- Edit: To people asking "why does it matter?" I think it matters. I'm less excited about an exotic drop that Xur has sold. The allure of exotic weapons is in their performance, but there is something to be said for their rarity. People should have access to all the weapons from a performance standpoint, but the rarity factor keeps the game interesting. Having a dull grey icebreaker is perfect for people who just want it as an effective weapon. However, finding an exotic (being blessed by RNGesus) should feel like an event, like "you got the genuine article". Edit 2: Just to be absolutely clear, Shadow Exotics would preform exactly like the originals, they would only [i]look[/i] different. Edit 3: This idea preserves the "lore" behind these exotic weapons. Take the Ice Breaker; This gun is supposedly rare because only a few were made before it was decided that they were to dangerous to mass produce. If that was true why does Xur have millions of them? I think it makes more sense that the 9 have a few of these exotics that they're carbon copying and having Xur sell. Just an idea guys! Best of luck out there. Edit 4: Apparently people are really concerned about "elitists" thinking that they're "less than" because of their guns color. I'm not concerned about the what the community thinks about my guns. When I buy an exotic from Xur it makes it less exciting for ME when I get [i]another one[/i] in the wild. This idea lets ME have my cake and eat it too. I want Red Death, I'd gladly take a "shadow" Red Death from Xur, but I'd still like to find one in the wild, I like the feeling of hitting the jackpot with a new exotic.
