TL:DR below
Don’t know about you guys, but I love thinking of ideas for new exotics. A lot of the exotic ideas I see though tend to sound overpowered as people want them to be cool.
However, I think it’s pretty easy to come up with fun ideas for exotics that remain balanced within the way the game plays. I wish Bungie could get a little more creative sometimes and give us a lot more exotics than we’re used to. Anyway here’s my idea for an exotic Shotgun.
TL:DR
Exotic Void Shotgun.
Exotic perk 1:
Hold down the trigger to release a bolt of void energy. (This would consume 3 bullets of the mag to shoot a charged shot with scout rifle range, headshot will do lethal damage)
Exotic perk 2:
Getting a kill with this weapon will automatically load a bullet from reserves to your magazine.
Regular perks could have:
-Snapshot
-Increased reload speed
Magazine holds 6, while reserves hold 12. (Power ammo in pvp would give 6)
Basically you can either use it at close range like a Shotgun does best, or if you want to sacrifice the ammo you can hit a hard hitting long range shot.
What do you guys think I should name this?

How about the longer you hold the trigger, the more powerful the blast. This way you could still get a powerful shot, but could actually make use of the extra two bullets that you would get if you got two kills.
-
But holding it longer would have to mean taking more ammo. Because it’s not meant to 1 shot someone with a body shot from far range only precision
-
But even if you got 2 kills from one mag, you would gain 2 bullets, which isn’t enough to have another shot, making the exotic perk void.
-
Well with the combo of perks it’s more meant to still give you two power shots if you have to use it at close range like a Shotgun. Wasn’t my intention to give it 3 power shots, although 7 in the mag would allow that and I guess wouldn’t be op?
-
So this is basically an all-class [spoiler]celestial nighthawk[/spoiler] golden gun?
-
Lol, it wouldn’t do as much damage as a celestial. And in pvp it would only drop 6 ammo (essentially 2 charged shots) same as rockets and other power
