Submit an original idea for a "exotic" weapon (or armor piece if you want). [Conduct Note: Please don't "hate" on someones idea unless you have some constructive criticism to offer, and no cursing please. (Thank you.)] [System Note: If I like a submission I will give it (well) a "like"] [Footnote: Let's all hope Bungie reads this post, takes our ideas for weapons into account, and gives us due credit for our ideas.] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WARNING ---- Bungie copied ideas from this forum (possibly others like it as well) and used them in "The Dark Below" without giving due credit to the REAL inventors. Submit at your own risk. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My 1st idea is for: a weapon type: hand-cannon name: "The Second Opinion" description: "To anyone who says 'you're dead' to my wielder, I disagree." -- "The Second Opinion" design: "The Last Word" in "silver and black" instead of "gold and brown" and a small, under-barrel bayonet. attributes: between "The Last Word" and "The Thorn" in range and stability, slightly less impact than "LW", slower fire rate than both "LW" and "Thorn" (more equal to "The Devil You Know"), magazine size: 7, reload speed: average (about equal to "DYK") upgrades: 1st tier upgrade: "Spray and Play" [reload speed increased when weapon mag is empty]; 2nd tier upgrade "tree": "Snapshot" [ADS is very rapid], "Skip Rounds" [shots ricochet of hard surfaces], "Armor Piercing Rounds" [shots over-penetrate targets] "exotic" upgrade: "A Second Opinion" [ "crisis mode" (red health bar) greatly increases weapon damage and increases melee speed; this effect lasts until a few seconds after "recovery"] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW weapon ideas: (the first two DO NOT represent my taste in games) 1st "new" idea: weapon type: shotgun name: "The Ender" description: "They say that any who met the gaze, eye to eye, of the creature who made and wielded this weapon met near-instant death." design: jet black in color with no stock, purple, "Invective-like" markings, and a muzzle piece like on "the 'New Monarchy' shotgun". attributes: void powered; short range and small mag (4 shots), but high impact and rate of fire. (similar to "Black Chasma" shotgun); average stability upgrades: default upgrade: "Dragon Vengeance" [shots cause brief burning damage with "void flames" similar to "The Thorn" only purple] 1st tier upgrade: increased range when ADS 2nd tier upgrade "tree": "Flared Magwell" [increased reload speed], "Hip Fire" [increased accuracy when not aiming], "Perfect Balance" [increased stability] exotic upgrades: "Eye of Ender" [kills with this weapon grant temporary invisibility and hits "highlight" targets] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd "new" idea: weapon name: "The Creeper" type: rocket launcher description: "When the hissing had stopped and the dust had cleared; all that remained of the creature that the lightning struck was a crater and this weapon." design: similar shape to "The Truth" but a greenish color with a sparking generator on the side (like with "The Thunderlord") attributes: solar powered, large blast radius (almost equal to "The Gjallarhorn"), above average velocity, mag size: 1, average stability upgrades: 1st tier upgrade: "Vacuum" [ammunition is picked up at an increased distance] 2nd tier upgrade "tree": "Field Scout" [larger ammo reserve], "Grenades and Horseshoes" [rockets detonate on proximity], "Tracking" [rockets home in on their targets] "exotic" upgrade: "Charged Creeper" [holding down "the trigger" changes the rocket's element from solar to arc and increases blast radius at the cost of velocity] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3rd "new" idea: weapon name: "The Outlaw Stallion" type: scout rifle [or shotgun, input on what to call it is appreciated] description: "When a rider loses his horse, he loses a part of himself. This horse, though, has been losing riders since birth, and loss makes one bitter." -- Unknown Hunter design: sawed-off, lever-action rifle with a wooden stock and a horse motif painted on silver colored rifle barrel. attributes: kinetic damage, fits in primary weapon slot, 15 shots in chamber, iron-sight only, slow rate of fire ["lever" must be "pulled" every shot], very high impact [a tad greater than "Proxima Centauri"], below average stability, loads like a shotgun, fires as long as "trigger" is held down [must still be "pumped"] upgrades: 1st tier upgrade: increased range 2nd tier upgrade "tree": "Perfect Balance" [increased stability], "Exploding Rounds" [shots are weaker but have an area of affect], "Surplus" [more ammo will appear for this weapon] "exotic" upgrade: "Outlaw Stallion" [shots have greater impact and movement speed while "ADS" is increased] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4th "new" idea: weapon name: "The Levin Bolt" description: "Normal weapons draw strength from their wielders; this one, though, draws its strength from 'the light". design: similar shape to "The Red Death" (but no bayonet or spikes), chrome plated with some plate pieces around the glowing rifle barrel removed, shots sound similar to scoped Halo 4 Lightrifle, and features a motif of a lightning bolt and a star on the stock. type: assault rifle attributes: weapon sight type: red dot, fits in primary weapon slot, above average impact, 45 shots in mag, fair range, average rate of fire, fast reload, below average stability. upgrades: default upgrade: "Spectrum" (weapon element changes to match element of subclass of wielder) 1st tier upgrade: "Lightweight" [agility +2 while carrying weapon] 2nd tier upgrade "tree": ricocheting shots, "Quickdraw" [ADS faster], "Rangefinder" [increased weapon range]. "exotic" upgrade: "Shining Light" [weapon does bonus damage based on the amount of "super energy" built up] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This edit is an idea for a special gameplay mechanic entitled "Supercombines" (small Halo reference), "Supercombines" are powerful attack combos of two (or, maybe, more) Guardians' super abilities. Examples: "Firestorm" = "Golden Gun" + "Radiance", Hunter and Warlock are surrounded by a large-scale solar grenade effect but must remain inside it until it runs out. Hunter fires powerful, sustained "laser" from "Golden Gun" while Warlock shoots "firebolts" (like from the grenades) from their hand like a scout rifle. "Dark Destruction" = "Nova Bomb" + "Ward of Dawn", Titan is lifted into air, encases themself in a smaller but sturdier "Ward of Dawn", and then is launched like a "Nova Bomb" by Warlock, causing a shockwave on initial impact. Titan then steers "Ward of Dawn" around, causing heavy damage to (if not outright killing) any enemies "WoD" comes into contact with, and healing Warlock by the kill. "Thunder Cleaver" = "Arc Blade" + "Fist of Havoc", Titan and Hunter work together to swing giant sized "Arc Blade" 360 degrees killing all but the most durable enemies. Enemies killed by "Thunder Cleaver" detonate as though they were a Titan's flashbang grenades. Participating Guardians become "static charged" for a time afterwards causing damage to any enemies that get within a certain distance of them. Ideas for cross element "Supercombines" are still in production. General feedback and ideas for concept are appreciated. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Further ideas are continued in the form of "comments".
