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 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.
