Edit 7/25: For people having trouble with ideas, here's two themes that may help.
Theme #1
Class specific exotics: in the taken king, we're suppose to be getting some. Let's see what you guys can come up with.
Theme #2
Toxotics: this is basically an exotic with an amazing perk but it is also hurts you somehow.
Not really doing a competition because I'm very inconsistent.
Edit 7/24: Glad to see we're getting some traffic going again. I've decided to change what this forum is about. I want it to be a creation outlet for everyone to share their ideas, not just for exotic gear. Hopefully you guys like the change. I'll try and include some examples.
Edit 6/11: Wow, I'm surprised that people actually want this forum to stay alive. I'm sorry for being silent for so long so I've responded to a couple of posts. I'll try and respond to anyone else that adds something. Also I'm going to look for the list of exotics that I have from the last competition. I'll post it when I find it. I'm debating on doing another one. Message me if you think I should.

Reference: MGS3 Name:Patriot's Infinity Type:Auto Rifle Description:Past users have said that handling this pre-Golden Age wonder is quite... a thrill. Design: A bull pup Khvostov with iron sights and a magazine shaped like an infinity symbol. Has Japanese characters inscribed on the sides. Rate of Fire: 100 Impact:1 Range:35 Stability:15 Reload:1 Initial Upgrades: The Patriot-Weapon never uses ammunition and never needs to reload. (This goes where Ice Breaker's "No Backpack" perk goes.) Zen Moment: Weapon grows more accurate with each hit. Fitted Stock:Increased stability. Explosive Rounds: Weapon fires Explosive Rounds (Only Auto Rifle with this Attribute). Send It: Increased Range. Exotic Upgrade:The Snake: Weapon fires Armor-Piercing Rounds and fires faster the longer it is fired. The "thrill" part of the description refers to the MGS3 theme. Japanese characters refer to the Infinity face paint. Design of weapon is roughly the Patriot. Infinite ammo like the Patriot. (Explosive Rounds would proc for each enemy hit with Armor Piercing rounds.) Would this be OP if implemented? The high RoF archetype isn't exactly powerful in the first place, however with infinite ammo AND Explosive Rounds AND a Fire Rate increase AND Armor Piercing Rounds is lowering the impact from 2 to 1 enough to balance it but make it feel powerful? Let me know what improvements you'd have for it. :)
