So We Now Have Swords, How About Scorch Cannons?

We got to swing swords around in vanilla, and they became more prominent in TDB, and finally became permanent fixtures in TTK. We got Scorch Cannons in HoW, and they've kind of faded back into obscurity. I think perhaps enough in game time might have passed for the Cryptarchs or someone to figure out how to make their own Solar, Arc, and Void cannons, no? This would obviously be a heavy weapon, I'd say 20-30 shots, considering the power, maybe more, should get play tested before anything concrete. It would also give us 4 weapons in each category (excluding exotics that go into other slots). For primaries, we have auto rifles, pulse rifles, hand cannons, and scout rifles For secondaries, we have shotguns, sniper rifles, fusion rifles, and sidearms For heavies, we have rocket launchers, machine guns, and now swords. This would give us a fourth weapon for here, and I think people would have fun with these. So maybe something to consider adding in the next expansion? And hopefully we get those missing exotics before that time comes.

  • I thought about this and to me they could fit under the rocket launcher archetype the difference is that they don't have reserve ammo (same as we use them now) but they hold all 10 at once and even though they have a smaller blast radius they fire a lot quicker. In pvp they could get 3 for the heavy drop.

  • I don't know, in the terms of lore in destiny the Scorch Cannons were the best thing the fallen had in terms of a guardian killer weapon. The Scorch Cannon was made to puncture the hulls of ships and so they would easily destroy a Guardian and likely their Ghost. If the cryptarchs were to remake their own it would probably play the role of PvE weapon only that would be very similar to the sword in that it's only available in select missions. Something as powerful as that has the danger of permanently killing guardians, but I would like to see if they could make it work somehow
