Exotic Arc Javelin (Heavy Weapon)

I have a suggestion for new exotic heavy weapon. An arc damage rocket launcher that launches straight up into the air and aggressively slams back down onto your target. Pretty much like the Striker Titan's Death From Above. It can be free-fired and shoot straight like any ordinary rocket, but once you unlock the first upgrade talent perk, it'll give the rocket it's special "javelin" tracking when aiming down sights onto an enemy or vehicle, manned or unmanned. And to rival the Gjallahorn, which most guardians prefer over. It's second special upgrade perk would enable it to emit an area of effect impact of pulsating arc damage. Similar that to the Striker Titan's Pulse Grenade and how the exotic rocket launcher, Dragon's Breath, leaves behind a flare similar that to the Sunslinger Warlock's Solar Grenade. For it's three talent perks to choose from would probably be Heavy Payload (wider blast radius), Javelin (faster velocity), and Speed Reload (faster reload), or maybe Quick Draw (faster ADS). And to make it not too overpowerful, it only holds one rocket per magazine and probably the slowest reload of all the exotic rockets, so one won't be spamming rockets everythere. This would be a niche rocket launcher as fireing it with auto-lock would require an open area so it won't end up hitting the ceiling. This would be a fun exotic rocket to use. Plausible for Raid Endgames such as Crota, Atheon, and maybe Templar. More fun in Strike Playlists against the Cabal Tank, Sepik's Prime, Nexus (maybe), and Phogoth. But a liability in tight spaces, such as against Deathsinger, Omnigul, and maybe small crucible maps.

  • Cluster Bombs for the first perk, the unique perk unlocks the ability to travel in an arc, faster velocity. Give it a really small blast radius and no tracking, that way it's more generalized, instead of a mortar-esque application.
