Allow Exotic weapons to take on shaders!
There are so many exotics that would look great with different shader sets. Seeing how both exotic armor and their ornaments can all take on shaders, I feel like weapons should be no exception. Anyone else want exotic weapons and their ornaments to take on shaders?

4 RepliesThis has been requested since D1. How long is D2 running now?...4 years now. It means it's been over 4 years now this has been requested. And it's not added yet ever since. Why?... Money. You don't throw money when you can change color scheme of exotic weapons. Game is being milked, even just for cosmetics that's been suggested and requested by community years ago. If you can't throw money on it, it's probably unlikely they'll do it. Cash cow gaming! 😂😂😂

1 ReplyThat’s what eververse is for, whether we wanted it or not. It’s a way for them to make money that has no advantage on the game. I’m ok with it.

No sane person would disagree

Nope, you MUST keep spending $7 to change the look of your gun.
-
6 RepliesNope that affect their ornament economy in eververse. Yes there are actually people dumb enough to spend $5 to change the color of a gun.

5 RepliesUnfortunately, no can do. They mentionned how they made exotics "intentionally recognizable from a quick glance for other players to give them more time to react/prepare their fight". From a distance, several guns would be easy to confuse for a plain legendary or for similar exotics without their fancy color schemes (The Last Word, Ace of Spade, Chaperone, SUROS Regime, No Time To Explain, etc.) because of shaders that can negate glow effects (Testudo, Mad Monk, etc) or shaders that can make a weapon completely black (Biolume, Metro Shift, Shadow Gilt, etc.)

Absolutely, no idea why it doesn’t already do this. Exotic armor with ornaments does, so I can’t imagine it’s a money concern. If anything, letting someone shade an ornament would just add more value to that purchase.

Wont happen since people keep buying ornaments for exotic gear

4 RepliesOne word "Ornaments" lol. Every primary exotic weapon shades when you are in the customization menu for armor. It's strictly to sell ornaments.

9 RepliesShaders? Are you kidding me? Let’s start with catalyst first then we can talk about cosmetics. All exotic weapons should have **Catalyst**!

Yeah i always thought it would be cool to be able to use shaders on exotic's i don't know what the difference it would make.
-
Never gonna happen when people are spending money on ornaments. Unfortunate.
-
Shaders on exotic weapons removes the point of most ornaments. thats the reason, they cant sell ornaments if you can just shader to the same effect. its just a buisness thing.
-
I was going to say this isn't a big enough point of interest for Bungie to make the necessary changes, but then I remember when you can preview what shaders will do to your armor, and it being able to change the look of any equipped exotic - lol, so I guess it wouldn't be too difficult.

6 RepliesWish granted, we are also reinstating the shader and mod glimmer cost.

2 RepliesI myself have wanted shades on exotics. I believe with the new dlc this will be possible. Ever since the 30th anniversary update when I change my shades in the appearance menu if your holding an exotic it takes the shader you put on or aee previewing but when you leave that menu it takes the shader off the exotic weapon. So I'm hoping with the witch queen this will be possible. I do know when the w.q. dlc launches there is going to be a huge weapons customization table allowing you to curate your rolls and do a bunch more stuff i.e. shaders on exotics.
-
They won't and here's why... It depends on the weapon, sure they could let some exotics have shaders while others don't since they don't seem like they'd take a shader properly like the default 1kv. That and it could mess with certain scopes and effects... just look at gambit jadestone on the titan VoG mark or the Xur ship.

1 ReplyIts technically been available from the start ive seen my exotic weapon change colour in the menu when viewing shaders while my character is holding an exotic weapon but bungie has just not allowed it probably because of money grab ornaments i mean hell vex ornament is a chrome shader ffs

4 RepliesWouldn't mind being able to equip mods and (Adept) mods on Exotic weapons too :/
