Edit 7/25: For people having trouble with ideas, here's two themes that may help.
Theme #1
Class specific exotics: in the taken king, we're suppose to be getting some. Let's see what you guys can come up with.
Theme #2
Toxotics: this is basically an exotic with an amazing perk but it is also hurts you somehow.
Not really doing a competition because I'm very inconsistent.
Edit 7/24: Glad to see we're getting some traffic going again. I've decided to change what this forum is about. I want it to be a creation outlet for everyone to share their ideas, not just for exotic gear. Hopefully you guys like the change. I'll try and include some examples.
Edit 6/11: Wow, I'm surprised that people actually want this forum to stay alive. I'm sorry for being silent for so long so I've responded to a couple of posts. I'll try and respond to anyone else that adds something. Also I'm going to look for the list of exotics that I have from the last competition. I'll post it when I find it. I'm debating on doing another one. Message me if you think I should.

Primary weapon has no ammo limit but will overheat if overused. Initial Upgrades: Unlock Special Weapon ability. Exotic Upgrade: Unlock Heavy Weapon ability. [Grimore for Varia] "Some believe that it consists of Golden Age Tech, lost after the collapse. Others insist it fell out of a Vex Timegate somewhere from a distant future. As for me, I believe it was the armor of a legendary Guardian that has yet to exist, no Golden Age warrior recorded has ever wielded such divine power, and something of this magnitude would have been remembered. Whatever it is, or wherever it came from, it might be the key to defeating the Darkness."
