So Xur currently sells some consumables that allow you to gain more weapon XP for a set time or upgrade a Rare Sparrow to a faux-Legendary one (ie, not as good as Legendary found in the wild).

But you know what would be really cool to also spend my hard earned Strange Coins on? Elemental Changer consumables for weapons.

Basically they would work like the Sparrow upgrade. They're a one-time consumable that you can apply to a Legendary (and maybe Exotics?) weapons that already have a certain Element damage type. So you could buy something like a "Void Muzzle" that "swaps" with your weapon's current, say Solar, muzzle. However, if the weapon only does Kinetic damage (ie, non-Raid Primaries), you can't swap it with this "Elemental muzzle" consumable.

I like to think this wouldn't disrupt the sandbox Bungie has created, especially with regards to the future Iron Banner event (since we all have the same shield). Maybe they would work *exactly* like the Sparrow upgrade, in that you can only change the Element type once? I'm not exactly a game designer by trade, but I am a gamer. Who enjoys the Destiny sandbox. So I'd like to think I have a good idea every now and then.

I sharded a solar shotgun and then regretted it, I've been getting a lot of shotguns the past few days but I've yet to get a solar one, or any other solar weapons that I can remember. I don't really need one at this point, but I'd like to have my inventory rounded out again, and I'd be willing to pay to convert one of the shotguns or other weapons I stumble across to solar.

I was the same way. Sharded my solar Unfriendly Giant, because I thought that since I had a Gjallarhorn, I wouldn't need one anymore... Boy was I wrong. Regretted it for days, but RNGesus took pity on me and gave me another one, since I rarely get anything good...

Why did you need another one if you had Gjallarhorn, isn't that one Solar damage also?

Exotic Armor = Badass. Not just in ability but in looks. Unfortunately, you can only have one exotic equipped at a time. I think it would be freaking cool to have an item which enables the ability to equip an extra Exotic Armor.

The Cost? At the very least - This ability would have to permanently override one of the Exotic armor ability (for which you choose). This item would also have to be costly - even for exotic standards.

This would not work with Exotic Weapons however, because that would be a bit too OP.

Yeah, but since it's Exotic, it limits my other load out, so if I wanted a Solar heavy, I couldn't use my other exotics, and I've been working on leveling those (Gjallarhorn is maxed out). It was very annoying to have to put away my Invective just to get some rockets, and vice versa.
