Alright, time to open the weapons tab of the good old manafest destiny journal. I will give you some of the most recent additions. 1. Exotic scout rifle - NAME: Rider - SUBTEXT: an old hunter story tells of an outcast who roams the cosmodrome at night on a sparrow made of gold - DESCRIPTION: a classic lever action rifle with dark stained cherry wood and polished chrome with a gold horseman standing off a wolf stamped on the sides, only has a front hair sight. On the back of the gun below the hammer is the tex logo (the last word guys) SOUND: a flint lock pistol's hammer being pulled back followed by the long ssPOW of a musket which creates a large cloud of smoke and echos for a good 3.5 seconds, the lever sounds like a rachet followed by a sslechink, a shell pops out between the two loading sounds. Loading another shot takes about .35 seconds, ammo cap is 9 bullets but with a perk can go to 15 Perks include 1 accuracy and (the choice if three) ammo, impact, or damage increases accuracy. Final perk: shooting increases fire rate, crits add one bullet and reduce reload time. Stats (bare with me i forgot the orde just now XD) Fire rate (1 shots per .5 seconds) Impact: 5/10 Stability: 7/10 Reload: 3/10 LORE: among the first of the guardians, there was a hunter named Cade Caleago who was known for his ability to stay deep within fallen territory longer than any other guardian before, or after him, he had even been presumed dead as many as twenty times, each time staying out in the wild for an even more outrageous time before showing up to his own funeral. He was worshiped by other hunters. That is, until a warlock scholar analized a fragment of his cloak which had come free. The cloak was infused with dark energies which masked his light from the darkness and infused his powers with unpredictable evils. Because of this, Cade wad banished from the city and the towers. His cloak, his rifle and his sparrow were never thought to be seen from again. Until now. Which brings me to a good point, screw the flamethrower ice breaker mk 1 shot gun class, let move on to the exotic sparrow known as the ghost rider, Exotic sparrow NAME:Ghost rider FLAVOR TEXT: there is no soul within that man, step aside SPEED: about average rare speed ABILITY: R2 (ps4) while boosting causes speeder to create dark blades protruding from both sides killing all enemies it comes in contact with, killed enemies increase speed and handling, over time cause speeder to rip itsself apart with dark energy (time 10 second) (driver unharmed) LOOKS a gold speeder with spiked frontal arms and one big rocket on the back smoldering with dark fire, light darkens around it SOUND likeba dub step drop gone to H/ E/ L/ L/ - When blades retract (insert a shing! *Death scream here) Because the cloak banished him, ima say thats a no go... unless... the tower didnt understand that the cloak was not able to infect the tower and that guardians can withstand being infused with darkness (sword/blades of crota) so long as the light remains a focus! RIGHT THEN! Exotic cloak NAME: black death FLAVOR TEXT: through him, it peered into my soul, and left me to die. Ability: killing minions of the darkness increases youre super charge, charge now fused with dark energy DESCRIPTION size is equal to the speekers cloaks, just an fyi... a black smoky aura in the shape of a. cloak with dark energy (that green hive light stuff) flaming out of it, a black banner with a gold skull picture rests on your knife arm and binds the upper half with dark chains, the front is held by a gold chain with a golden knife dangling from a seperate chain like a pendant. The cloak erupts in dark flame durring a super darkening the area around you. I could give more weapons and stuff but i wont, also cade was not permited his ship or his ghost shell (it died long ago from the cloak, he kept it as a secret trophy.) This stuff would be raid gear most likely due to their power, well sept the rifle maybe. But yeah, mery hanachristmas
