I watched the video about the easter egg with the KABOSU - DGE Titan Helmet this morning and it got me thinking. Why aren't there more special effects or even cosmetic visual effects that could be triggered by using some Exotic or even Legendary Helmets? I don't know about programming unfortunately but I would think it would be as simple as adding some sort of filter to the screen for the most part. For example, Achlyophage Symbiote could cause an effect on the edge of the screen and HUD that looks like something alive and pulsing is part of the display, Mask of the Third Man could cause dim areas that don't require the Ghost to illuminate them to become brighter since it is clearly influenced by the night vision goggles of Splinter Cell, ATS/8 ARACHNID could cause the edge of the screen to bubble giving the player a slightly wider field of view based on the multiple sensory inputs on its surface, Skull of Dire Ahamkara could cause the player character to growl or roar when using special, grenade or melee abilities base on it being the skull of a dragon. These effects could also extended to adding a swirling black aura to enemies in PvE that could be seen thru obstacles similar to the no-respawn area effect. There are numerous possibilities.

These are all great ideas, would make exotic helmets very interesting.
