I was honestly stuck between Banshee or Xur. I wasn't sure which would offer the right balance. Bungie tends to give you something good, while taking away from you at the same time. So I was trying to give that feel. Probably went a little over the top with it. I'll edit at some point. Probably give the rights to Banshee. Same amount of glimmer cost and ten weapon parts, maybe? Thinking about it, waiting for Xur to alter your weapon seems a little crazy. Also I was thinking about how the ghost doesn't really know much about the Strangers Rifle, or its mechanics. so I was thinking about how Banshee would be able to know how alter the firing mechanism for my weapon. Thinking about it, he wouldn't have to know about the weapon entirely. Just how it fires. Simply swapping out the trigger functions and some pins would enable him to alter it's firing mechanism. So that would work! Note: I forgot a couple things in my original post. So I'm going to edit once I'm done here. Feel free to give me your thoughts on the update. I made this post just as another idea. Wasn't going to # at all. But I thought maybe if you weren't able to make anything of the Trek, you'd have a second option. So I edited, and added the # Oh, and the history..... If I were going to do it, or make it a quest line. It'd be in the future. It would be us helping out the stranger in some way and she rewards us with the weapon. Considering she so open handedly gave us "her" weapon, she had to have something that was far superior. And this is it. "The weapon I gave you long ago is nothing compared to this one, guardian. The weapon I have here is one of a kind, and yours to keep, once this is over. It is [i]The Answer[/i], to any trouble you may find." If it were me. That'd be my approach. But that's not really about the weapon itself, just a journey to the weapon. If we're talking about how the weapon came to be. We'd start with The Stranger. In her early years. How she traveled galaxies. Gained an extreme amount of knowledge, gained various unknown materials from said galaxies and how her Strangers Rifle was just the beginning. Through her travels she learned how to build the perfect rifle. How she could alter it on the fly for any situation. Or you could take a different path. Make a character that relates with the Stranger. A rival, who became far superior, which is why she came to our galaxy. Maybe? I feel like I'm throwing some decent ideas out (: I'll let you be the mastermind.
