Destiny 2 - Creating the Coldheart Exotic Trace Rifle | IGN First

Exotic preorder gun? Disgusting.

A shader or emote would be one thing but locking a exotic gun for 3 months behind a preorder bonus...

Bungie loves making unique fusion rifles.

Vex Mythoclast, Queenbreaker Bow, Sleeper Simulant and now Cold Heart are all very different from a typical fusion rifle.

I wonder if there will ever be a fusion rifle that behaves like a rocket launcher :p

Oh how much I miss using my Vex :(

A gun that shoots spirit bombs.

I don't you know the definition of that word or live in some kind of fantasy world.

"It's got a cold liquid coolant core that's kinda shaped like a heart, that's why we named it 'Cold heart'"
the writers aren't giving me a lot of hope...

Almost as dumb as locking content to a specific platform until after the sequel comes out... Not a huge fan of these moves but I have a feeling they'll have better weapons that you can acquire in-game.

well I can't watch anything but based on the description this sounds like a weapon I'll be able to do some dumb things with on PC. I was a lightning gun guy, and I am a Zarya guy.

I've never been a big fan of beam weapons. I hope they keep making one of a kind weapon types though, that's a cool idea.

It's got the look of an exotic, and seems unique. It'll come down to the damage it does and ammo it uses.

I hope it's good.

Not feeling the weapon designs post TTK. They look so average now. Some of the regular shit-tier items in vanilla had a lot of personality and felt very "Destiny" like.


the design is related to the story,remember, we almost lost everything in D2 and we got a farm..

If we get the city back and set our battleground to other planets, our gear and weapon will be taken from the alliances there

Even more when in the beginning. When it was OP like crazy but rare.
I got lucky and got it at my first VoG clear. Enjoyed a Crucible alot with that gun haha.

yeah, those were the days. I got mine pretty early too, dropped together with my first Ice-Breaker even!

Despite all the flaws, I loved that initial 3 months in Destiny, mostly because of playing with friends, but still
 
So is Trace Rifle it's own archetype? Or is this like the Mythoclast where it's called something, but internally it's something else.

Like, I could see this being an AR as far as the engine is concerned since it's going to tick damage (like each bullet) and just has hitscan.

Locking an exotic behind a preorder bonus is bullshit

Couldn't agree more. December or not, it's bullshit.

They say it's the only trace rifle in the game.

The whole idea that exotics are striving to be their own thing is the best thing I've heard about the loot. The game needs more Mytho's, QBB, & Lord of Wolves. Stuff that felt truly unique and not just a variation on a pulse/scout/etc.

lol come on guys. People are trying to make this a bigger deal than it is. Anyone who cares about getting that gun right away is probably already pre-ordering. Everyone else gets it shortly after, so it really isn't a big deal. Yeah pre-order bonuses are stupid, but I'd be really surprised if anyone complaining about how horrible it is is even going to play Destiny or actually cares about it other than as a point to shit on Destiny more.
