Name: The Great Question. Weapon Type: this weapon can be altered between Auto, Pulse and Scout. (Still keeps it's same design, only the stats change. Similar to Murmur.) Description: "to be or not to be. That is the great question. But at what cost?" - The Stranger This weapon will look similar to the Strangers Rifles design. The base color of the weapon will be a Brushed Silver for an even more futuristic look. Gold engravings of some unknown language. Holographic sights, as usual, but not as bulky. (Similar to the Taken raid weapons) the sights will match the weapons colors. The sights will also change when the weapons type is altered. EDIT: When this weapon gains elemental damage, the weapons muzzle flash will change colors accordingly. Stats! Auto: High ROF, minimal Impact, low range. Medium stability. Slow reload. 35 magazine. Pulse: medium ROF, medium Impact, medium range, high stability, fast reload. 25 magazine. Scout: Low ROF, high impact, long range, medium reload, low stability, 19 magazine. Exotic Perk: The Answer "This weapon can alternate between weapon types. While this weapon is equipped, dealing elemental damage to enemies via any ability gives this weapon that element for a short time (similar to Susanoo) Three rapid kills with this weapon grants bonus super energy, and reduces ability cool down. " Pros: gives us an answer to "no elemental primaries." Element can be different types depending on your subclass. Cons: takes up exotic slot. Expensive to alternate. Banshee can only alter this weapon. - 1000 glimmer - 10 weapon parts [spoiler]#writemyexotichistory[/spoiler]

  • So.... It's an all in one gun that requires Xur to transform at a very steep cost... Eh... It would be better off switching it to Banshee and costing a few motes and some parts so it doesn't feel limited... what's the point of the all in one when it's damaging and nonflexible. I see the point but that takes away it's appeal as a perk in the first place And what do you want me to do as far as a history is concerned? (And slow down on the entries partner XD I can't make histories for everything)

    I was honestly stuck between Banshee or Xur. I wasn't sure which would offer the right balance. Bungie tends to give you something good, while taking away from you at the same time. So I was trying to give that feel. Probably went a little over the top with it. I'll edit at some point. Probably give the rights to Banshee. Same amount of glimmer cost and ten weapon parts, maybe? Thinking about it, waiting for Xur to alter your weapon seems a little crazy. Also I was thinking about how the ghost doesn't really know much about the Strangers Rifle, or its mechanics. so I was thinking about how Banshee would be able to know how alter the firing mechanism for my weapon. Thinking about it, he wouldn't have to know about the weapon entirely. Just how it fires. Simply swapping out the trigger functions and some pins would enable him to alter it's firing mechanism. So that would work! Note: I forgot a couple things in my original post. So I'm going to edit once I'm done here. Feel free to give me your thoughts on the update. I made this post just as another idea. Wasn't going to # at all. But I thought maybe if you weren't able to make anything of the Trek, you'd have a second option. So I edited, and added the # Oh, and the history..... If I were going to do it, or make it a quest line. It'd be in the future. It would be us helping out the stranger in some way and she rewards us with the weapon. Considering she so open handedly gave us "her" weapon, she had to have something that was far superior. And this is it. "The weapon I gave you long ago is nothing compared to this one, guardian. The weapon I have here is one of a kind, and yours to keep, once this is over. It is [i]The Answer[/i], to any trouble you may find." If it were me. That'd be my approach. But that's not really about the weapon itself, just a journey to the weapon. If we're talking about how the weapon came to be. We'd start with The Stranger. In her early years. How she traveled galaxies. Gained an extreme amount of knowledge, gained various unknown materials from said galaxies and how her Strangers Rifle was just the beginning. Through her travels she learned how to build the perfect rifle. How she could alter it on the fly for any situation. Or you could take a different path. Make a character that relates with the Stranger. A rival, who became far superior, which is why she came to our galaxy. Maybe? I feel like I'm throwing some decent ideas out (: I'll let you be the mastermind.

  • Yes that is much better. A bit steep on the glimmer if you ask me (I'm a natural cheapskate so take it as you will) but it is a good point to be at, and it just makes sense with Banshee since he's a gunsmith for a living. And I don't mind you creating exotics don't get me wrong but as far as the history is concerned, wait until I atleast get through your first entry and this before putting up others. Other than that this weapon is excellent and I would actually like to use it if it was available.

  • Thanks. I edited my previous reply because I forgot to add some story ideas. Take a read if you feel. I usually am not this creative. I've tried plenty to think of good exotic ideas. Always came up short. I've just hit a tiny creative streak so I figured I'd share while it's still fresh. Oddly enough they came to me while I wasn't really thinking about them. I just randomly thought of the main idea. Then everything else just kind of came through. But, if I do think of anything else, that I feel is decent. I'll wait to post!

  • It's good! I operate the same way so no biggie! And good lord... on top of Banner, Vanguard, Fallen, Nightstalkers, and Evil Santa's I have to write about the Stranger?!... Is it ok to say I don't have time to explain and leave?... XD just kidding this one will be a while though since it's a prominent subject, but it will be done
