[b]Claw of Archimedes[/b]
[i]Legend tells of a bronze claw whose talons threw ships from the sky...[/i]
Exotic Fusion Rifle
[b]Unique perk[/b]: [u]Against The Gods[/u]: at the expense of having one shot per clip and a very slow reload rate, this rifle would have no charge rate, using its beam to pick up any enemies (except bosses) and holding them anywhere in the air for the duration of a normal fusion rifle charge, finally proceeding to drop them when the charge runs out.
Additional Notes: Would be very useful for yellow-bar PvE enemies; seems OP in PvP, but enemy teammates could easily kill you while you're using your gun to hold someone else. PvP use would be throwing people off a cliff or something.
[b]Mask of the Transcendent[/b]
[i]"Time has imprisoned us all, but now I am free forever." ~ Unknown[/i]
Hunter Helmet
Gives the wearer additional Intellect
[b]Unique perk[/b]: [u]Timebreaker[/u]: enemies hit by your melee ability are briefly slowed in all animations [which will subsequently slow them down in agility, weapon firing, et cetera], an effect called "Time-Shift."
[b]The Gas Giants[/b]
[i]A peculiar Jovian technology, light as feathers on the wearer, but heavy as two jumpships to whichever poor creature stands below them...[/i]
Titan Boots
Gives the wearer additional Strength
[b]Unique perk[/b]: [u]Gravity Stomp[/u]: enemies you land on take twice the melee damage output of your character. Take no fall damage.
[b]Stargazer's Melody[/b]
[i]The sun's flames approached me, surrounded me, engulfed me. And they sang a song, so soft I could hardly hear it. They sang of how weak I was... and how powerful I could become. [/i]
Warlock Chestpiece
Gives the wearer additional Discipline and Strength
[b]Unique perk[/b]: [u]Stargazer's Melody[/u]: grants Song of Flame for Radiance. Increases the effectiveness of Song of Flame.
[b]Breath of the Ahamkara[/b]
[i]The fires of the sky are the least I can promise, oh bearer mine.[/i]
Exotic Auto Rifle
[b]Unique perk[/b]: [u]Ahamkara's Fire[/u]: precision hits with this weapon Ignite enemies (does not stack). Kills with this weapon spawn Sunspots.
Additional Notes: This weapon's base stats would be similar to Atheon's Epilogue for the sake of balance, except it would do Solar damage, have slightly more impact, and have slightly less stability.
[b]Corrupted Spark[/b]
[i]"Limit yourselves to your own liking, Guardians, but the Void is as vast as it is unforgiving." ~ Hadrian, the Wanderer[/i]
Warlock Helmet
Gives the wearer additional Intellect
[b]Unique perk[/b]: [u]Unforgiving Void[/u]: Nova Bomb explosion produces an enhanced Axion Bolt.
[b]Khan of Khans[/b]
[i]"If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you."[/i]
Warlock Helmet
Gives the wearer additional Discipline
[b]Unique perk[/b]: [u]Golden Horde[/u]: Song of Flame additionally grants Blessing of Light for nearby allies.
[b]Ferrum[/b]
[i]"And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise."[/i]
Exotic Grenade Launcher
[b]Unique perk[/b]: [u]Centurion's Fury[/u]: This grenade launcher is given a four-round clip. Killing majors with this weapon grants nearby allies +2 armor temporarily, an effect called "Might of the Legion."
Additional Notes: A typical grenade launcher would be a one-round clip special weapon with each round being that of a typical frag grenade. Two rounds could kill someone at full health, but this weapon type shines in crowd control situations, as it deals damage in a grenade-like radius. This specific grenade launcher would highly resemble that of a Cabal Centurion, and has perks that match that weapon accordingly.
[b]Inglorious[/b]
[i]Feel it drain the empathy from your soul, convince you to make them pay.[/i]
Exotic Machine Gun
[b]Unique perk[/b]: [u]Inglorious[/u]: Bullets track enemies, always landing precision hits and triggering minor explosions on impact.
Additional Notes: To compensate for the seemingly overpowered bonus, this machine gun would have a low rate of fire, and its bullets would travel slowly. As a result, this weapon would be of little use in PvP. However, this weapon would shine in PvE boss-fights, as it has exploding rounds that always get precision hits.
[b]The Devourer[/b]
[i]It existed in a time before time, its power flawless, formless, and merciless.[/i]
Exotic Rocket Launcher
[b]Unique perk[/b]: [u]Reaper's Breath[/u]: Enemies killed by this weapon evaporate in darkness. Kills by one shell in each clip add to the amount of shells in the next magazine.
Additional Notes: To further explain the perk, this launcher would have a one-shell mag to start. Then, the kills with that single shell would add to the next mag. Then, one shell from this mag would add to the shells of the next mag, and so on. For the sake of balance, it wouldn't have grenades & horseshoes, nor would it have tracking. It would be the ideal launcher for crowd control.
[b]Force Capacitors[/b]
[i]The equal and opposite reaction is in your hands. Befuddle your enemies.[/i]
Titan Gauntlets
Gives the wearer additional Intellect
[b]Unique perk[/b]: [u]Newton's Flaw[/u]: Melee attack spawns a large AoE, spreading just as much melee damage to nearby enemies.
[b]Wrath of the Broken Heart[/b]
[i]"If you kill a man's family, beware of the man." ~ old Eliksni proverb [/i]
Titan Helmet
Gives the wearer additional Strength
[b]Unique perk[/b]: [u]No Escape[/u]: When Death from Above is enabled, gain minor directional control for Fist of Havoc. Fist of Havoc travels further and faster.
[b]Saladin's Hand[/b]
[i]Lord Saladin has seen many Guardians triumph in the Iron Banner, but only those who impress him acquire his Hand.[/i]
Exotic Auto Rifle
[b]Unique perk[/b]: [u]Iron Rounds[/u]: Precision hits slow targets (stacks up to three times).
Additional Notes: Possibly acquired from a quest-line obtained by getting a Seventh Column medal in the Iron Banner, this auto rifle would have RoF and stability stats similar to the SUROS Regime, but its unique perk would prohibit enemies in the Crucible from strafing, allowing the user to become a feared enemy in competitive multiplayer.

Will add more ideas as they come to me, and likely tweak the perks of the items I have currently displayed.
Edit: What are your favorites from this list? Which ones would you never use? Let me know so I can make this list as cool as possible.

Maybe unlock Death From Above for free on Wrath of the Broken Heart. Also make it change animation to look like Iron Man flight.
