Pete's idea (Destiny)

Scrap the garbage test weapons and repurpose Gunsmith to serve as vendor for limited-weapon playlist, let's call it Bungle Pro.

Admission into the Bungle Pro playlist requires you to purchase a Pass from the Gunsmith for either Hakke, Omolon, or Suros. Like the Trials Passage item, you can go into this Pass from the menu and select a primary, secondary, and heavy weapon.

There would be an extremely limited selection of weapons; out of the 10 potential weapon types, each manufacturer would only offer, say, 7/10; not every manufacturer might have a hand cannon, for example. This way, each manufacturer would be balanced to have different advantages and disadvantages. Maybe one manufacturer has a super awesome shotgun, but doesn't have a sniper, or has an okay sniper.

These selections override your character's standard weapon selection when playing in the Bungle Pro playlist.

Perhaps as a way to keep an even distribution of players/teams with each weapon set:

The game can keep track of how many of each manufacturer's passes have been sold. Choosing a manufacture with a lower pledge % will add an proportionately scaled "rep bonus". So if everyone's picking Omolon because of that sweet scout-rifle roll that's available that week, you could go with one of the other two and be rewarded for it.
