https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/176375107/0/0 Link to FJFSOM656's great intro to my weapon! Name: Winters Trek. Description: "Surviving the wilderness is easy. Sur-surviv-ing Th-the fros...." - "enter famous guardians name here" Exotic Rocket Launcher. (Solar damage) (PvE based) has an icy/snowy look. This weapon holds 3 in the magazine. When firing, all three rockets are shot, with a spiraling effect. (cosmetic mostly) But it gives a slight boost for Blast Radius. Slow rate of fire. Near max blast radius. Slow velocity. Poor stability. Slow reload. Exotic perk: Frostbite. on detonation, this weapon burns and slows enemies hit by its aoe. (7-10 seconds?) Or. On detonation, this weapon leaves a "sunspot" ( using sunspot for lack of a better word ), that continuously slows and damages enemies. How to Acquire: Timed Exotic Quests (2) (Christmas week only) so don't miss out. All steps are PvE based. Gradually increases difficulty over six steps 260-290. (Seems fair for most players) Quest is given by Vanguard by race. (Zavala for titan, etc.) There will be the main quest for the exotic. You'll also recieve a small, one step side quest that requires you to find "dead guardians" ghost. "We're getting reports of some strange activity on the outer edges of the solar system, guardian. Head to Pluto. Check it out, but first take this with you. Your current armor can't withstand the planets hazards." We're given a 285 Artifact, with a unique perk that resists the planets freezing wind By 20%. Throughout each quest step, we return to the tower to get a new quest step and piece of armor (285) with the same effect. So on the 6th (final) step you'd have 100% resistance. Which will be important for the boss fight. I'll explain the mechanics. Throughout the missions, you're not only fighting enemies, but the planets gust of icy winds as well. The winds gradually increase in encounters as each mission passes. Then continuously on the final quest step as we're nearing the harshest part of the planet. All armor would have a fur like design. Similar to shax and the IB hunter cloak. All enemies would be cosmetically similar to the Cabal. The boss being roughly the same size of Valus or golgoroth (both are pretty fat. See where I'm going with this? #EvilSanta) The final step will be a strike. ( the ghost you're searching for is here, somewhere) You play through the strike as usual. There will be a small, yet somewhat difficult boss fight in the middle of the mission where you fight his eight lieutenants, no adds. (Assuming you're understanding the reference.) You progress through the mission, eventually fighting the boss. Once you defeat him, he drops the usual. Engrams. Nothing special. Return to the tower, turn in the quests. Turning in the main quest gives you the weapon. Turning in the small, additional quest gives you the 'Snowflake Ghost Shell'. It's ice white, with a shimmering effect. You'll receive Grimoire about the new race, and how they only thrive on cold planets, moving from solar system to solar system trying to gather resources from the neighboring planets in its galaxy. (Direct threat to us.) You'll also receive Lore on "dead guardian", who tried to take on this fight alone, just days before the Vanguard sent us. EDIT: I thought that this would be a great idea for Bungie to do. exotic weapon idea aside, it would be something to actually work towards for a seasonal event. exclusive quests, and gear.
