Nope. Nope. Nope. Absolutely not. Just because you people are lazy to do a strike or anything, doesn't mean the rest of us are. You know 98% of the community had no idea the Last Word, Mida and other legendary weapons were any good at all. Why do you think they brought those weapons back to year 2.... Shadow Price, Grim Citizen, Saterinne Rapier, Devil You Know, all amazing great powerful, even better then the Raid Burn Primary weapons. But did people use them? No. Because of ass clowns like this and second hand YouTubers saying that these weapons are OP an they don't need anything else. Devil You Know with Luck in the Chamber outclasses Fatebringer 9 times out of 10. No souls even used Shadow Price because if weapons like Abyss Defiant and Atheons Epilogue. So just like Bungie, -blam!- primary burn weapons, they can go to -blam!-ing hell and everyone who wants burn primary weapons can go cry in a corner.

I think they should bring back elemental primaries, but only for exotic primaries (every exotic primary gets an element).

I don't think you need the Element of Light. Just make all weapons able to drop as Arc, Void, Solar, or Kinetic. Even exotics.... 4 possible types with the still random perks. That opens up ton of different weapons to obtain. Look, you might have Mida with solar... but mine dropped as arc.... etc...

The thorn bounty was hard as hell even with a void primary. They only one was atheons epilouge and bullet hoses year 1 were the worst weapons in the entire history of destiny.

They could also do something with guardian subclasses that when you activate you super, it charges your weapon with the respective burn until super runs out.

Good idea, just... Not ANY primary.

The idea is good but I don't think primaries need a elemental burn. Reason because it made the weapon choice in the game seem limited and really felt like non elemental weapons were as good as elemental primaries. I never saw anyone in Y1 during raids or strikes that had a kinetic damage primary unless they had a certain exotic. I feel like its fine to have non elemental primaries in the game and really doesn't affect any of the game

I personally prefer the idea of artifacts giving x weapons y burn, but this would work as well.

I literally thought of this yesterday before I read this. My idea has less rng as any hard mode raid would drop a core once a weak per character. That core could then be applied to any legendary weapon to give it a random element. Bungie please do something like this. Also could drop from flawless maybe?

Honestly the game is all the better without elemental primary weapons. Also if they were to implement something like this they wouldn't make it raid exclusive because only a tiny proportion of the player base play that awful mess that is Kings fall.

If they added this element you speak of, guaranteed it would be sold for silver.

[quote]If anyone ever played year 1, you will understand how godly it was to have an elemental primary. It made the Thorn exotic bounty a joke and made every burn modified nightfall your bitch. You would headshot a fallen enemy in the face with your Fatebringer and watch the other 5 around explode into arc matter. In year 2, Bungie did away with elemental primaries. Why you might ask? Well because you only saw people using the Fatebringer and nothing else. It was enough to call itself an exotic. But I feel as though they could have kept it in. How you ask? Simple my kinderguardian. You make RNG do its work. You must obtain an "element of light". This glowing shard is all it takes to give any primary whether it be exotic or legendary and give it an unlocked potential that only the weaponsmith could apply to your weapon. The only way to obtain the Element of Light is to defeat Oryx hard mode (for future DLC it needs to be the Hard mode of the latest Raid) and it can drop on Oryx and it isn't a guaranteed drop. After you were blessed by the RNG god you head towards the tower and see your local gunsmith. You can turn this item in at any time of the week and will become available to mod into any weapon in your inventory on Armsday. On Armsday, the RNG-ESUS will take its toll again and randomly selected one of the 3 burns that you could apply. And yes this means there will be lots of hate. What will be amazing about this though is that it's hard to obtain, you can use it on any primary weapons besides any primary exotics that already have a burn on them, and this means you can have a Suros Regime with any burn you want on it! Guardians please leave any feedback you wish and bump this article so that Bungie can understand us PvE players that want to be gods once again.[/quote] Won't happen Can't make it Raid only because many don't Raid. Putting an element on an exotic primary other then Zahlo or Necro or Vex which already have on them is crazy. It would eliminate any Burn modifiers. Good idea though. Maybe Destiny 2 will have some. Or bring them back for ToO.
