You know how each raid has an exotic that's built to be especially good for pve? Particularly ToM, which has a long quest chain to complete, is good in pve and is best in the raid you must complete to get it? Well why shouldn't we have one for trials of Osiris, the pvp equivalent of a raid? I think trials should have an exotic bounty that will test your pvp prowess, particularly in the Trials of Osiris, which rewards a top tier pvp weapon that is especially effective in, you guessed it, trials of Osiris.
Here are my ideas for how this could work, put in spoiler tags to save space. I have some very specific ideas, but I think the most important part is that Bungie implement an exotic bounty for trials.
[b]*NO ACTUAL SPOILERS BELOW*[/b]
The bounty:
[spoiler]You receive the bounty's start as a random drop with a 10% chance to drop at the end of trials matches and from trials bounties. My idea is that you need fragments of some ancient artifact, that when put together can bring an ancient weapon brother Vance has to life, and the drop you got was the first fragment. Alternatively, that could be the last fragment needed and now you have to charge them all by completing certain tasks.
Here are the bounty steps:
1. See brother Vance in the reef
2. He will give you the second fragment and a quest to find the other fragments.
3. Land precision kills in the trials of Osiris. (Must get 50)
4. Return to Vance
5. Win 60 rounds in the trials of Osiris (not games, just rounds).
6. Return to Vance
7. Get a gold tier package
8. Return to Vance
9. Reach the Lighthouse in the trials of Osiris
You will receive a unique emblem, the eye of the old gods, and the last fragment upon opening the lighthouse chest, in addition to your regular loot.
8. Return to brother Vance and he will give you the put together weapon.
The Exotic always drops at 310 (like ToM).[/spoiler]
The Weapon: (this part's my favorite)
[spoiler]
A pulse rifle similar aesthetically to the fate of all fools. It has the rate of fire and impact of the messenger/spare change. It has high range, decent stability, and low reload speed. Low handling, high aim assist, good recoil direction.
Perks:
Intrinsic Exotic Perk: Old Gods Eye- Landing a precision kill with this weapon greatly increases reload speed and handling and grants an enhanced motion tracker until your next death.
Perk 1: Third Eye- Radar remains active while aimed down sights
Mid Column Perks:
Quickdraw
Lightweight
Small Bore
Final Perk: All Eyes on You- While you are the last remaining member of your fireteam, gain increased agility and recovery (+2 each) while wielding this weapon, and gain enhanced range and target acquisition. [/spoiler]
Like I said, my exact ideas may not be the best for the game, but please Bungie, give us an exotic trials bounty!
Edit: dmwilkie88 brought up a good point, it should probably have a faster fire rate now that it's a 3 burst.
Edit 2: Instead of going flawless you should probably just have to get 9 wins on 1 passage, and just increase the number of round wins and precision kills needed. I edited precision from 40 to 50 and rounds from 50 to 60.

Edited by Octopus: 1/9/2016 3:10:05 PMWhich other gun than ToM is there exactly for the other raids? curious to know, as i don't know any other lol^^ not to mention that ToM is totally useless for anything other than 2 parts of KF... sry, but i disagree to see ToO exclusive exotics, as one already has to mess up with pvp nearly 99% for ANY exo bounty...no matter how much he hates pvp... another thing is that EVERYONE can accomplish EVERY part of pve's exo bounty, as you only have to fight stupid, predictable A.I. or simply get carried, while for those who don't like pvp it's obviously harder to compete with other gamers, never predictable compared to A.I......same goes for ANY raid legendary and so on...while the non-pvp'ers yet still may not have any of the ToO legendaries as it's more difficult to fight gamers, rather than stupid A.I., it's a walk in the park for any pvp'er to get raid-gear if out to... If ever, i would like to see ANY bounty giving you 2 options on getting the goods, pve OR pvp, as for mostly the reason i mentioned in the last sentence...

I believe that trials should have its own exotic BUT not one that gives any sort of buff or helps with trials. The reason for that is trials is already pretty difficult for just your average player to get to the lighthouse (not me I've been there countless times) but my point is if there's an exotic where it's perks help with trials then it's going to delegate those people even further, and the people who go every week will still go every week and the people that struggle will struggle even more. But yes it is the only endgame content that doesn't have its own exotic, it should
-
No, bad idea. Trials is already pretty exclusive and full of cheating. You can't add an exotic that gives people an advantage over anyone that doesn't have it.
-
At least you made a great effort for something fun out of the lighthouse - give this man a job!!! Year two light house was boring as sin and added nothing new. Lack luster weapons also made it more boring...... Would be great to add something extra to the lighthouse.

The only problem is the reach the lighthouse step, with the new system of matchmaking a lot of people, me included (yes lets all laugh at the "scrub" with a "bad" trials kd) couldn't get it. I would say there should be a game win requirement but not a flawless requirement. Or, alternatively you could opt out at that point and receive a 290 one but no emblem

Edited by Parzival: 1/8/2016 10:53:24 AMi was about to add a topic similar to this but i decided to search first and came across yours and thought i'd just bump it and add to it. - Bring back old raids and make an exotic weapon per each slot (primary, secondary and heavy). that is 6 more exotics, 3 per raid that resemble who you are fighting. So the exotic raid piece is something take from the Vex or hive. - Bring back old raids and make an exotic armor to match the raid as in do we have an exotic piece of armor that goes with the Crota Raid? we have armor sets but not exotic. - I would also like exotic weapons/armor that go with the vendors. example would be an exotic piece of armor, maybe a chest piece from Commander Zavala that looks like the piece he is wearing or a arm piece from Rey and a leg piece from Cayde... or even the cloak of the stranger. - This would also give you a exotic weapon/armor piece from trials and IB. These are just ideas and i'm only spit-balling off your thoughts.
-
As cool as this would be, it would just be nerfed to death shortly after it existed in game. So why even bother?
-
Call it, Exile

-
Make it faster fire rate, because of the nerfs, that archetype is a 3-burst now
-
There was supposed to be an exotic bounty for trials, it was for the Fate of All Fools scout rifle.
