Power Weapon Skins

I think it would be really cool if when you picked up a power weapon it would change to a skin you selected. For instance, say you picked up a Binary Rifle and the skin you chose for that weapon was a grid-like design, and when you picked it up, the skin would change to the one you selected. And if anyone else kills you and picks it up, then it would change to whatever skin they have chosen.

So far, I’ve come up with only a few finalized designs, and so I’ll list the ones I can describe here:

Binary Rifle Grid (GRID)-Auntie Dot’s diagonal grid pattern painted in dark grey on the entire weapon.
Spartan Laser ? (?)-A giant red dot on both sides of the front half, I still haven’t finalized the name yet.
Shotgun Blast (BLST)-A depiction of in an explosion originating from the barrel of the gun in the same fashion as the AR’s Teeth skin.
SAW Bullet (BLLT)-The gun is riddled with bullet holes.
Rocket Launcher Arrow (AROW)-There is a drawing of an arrow on each tube in white.

These next two aren’t necessarily skins as much as they are different models:

Energy Sword Arbiter (ARBT)-The handle is the one used by the Arbiter in Halo Wars.
Gravity Hammer Rukt (RUKT)-The head of the hammer looks like the Fist of Rukt from Halo 2.

While some of these may seem simple, these are just ideas. If you have any, describe what weapon they’re for, the name of the skins, and what they look like. And if you can’t describe it, edit a picture of the weapon with your skin idea on it and add a link.

I’d, like autosentry skin

first, weapon skins are 3 letters, but thats not the point, heres some of my ideas:

Scattershot CPT (cryptum): a black scattershot with orange thin lines in a similar manner to a cryptum

Needler ACD (acidic): a needler in mostly green with black patterns

Railgun NEO (neon): a normal coloured railgun with bright blue patterns on it

Fuel Rod Cannon RTO (retro): a purple FRC like the old CE one

Energy Sword HNT (hunter): a red energy sword based on the ones in ‘headhunters’

That’d be very cool. I’m still surprised that they didn’t implement that.

Needler one should also have a classic skin with Green needles. (Needler CLS)

Cool ideas, and I forgot that skins were only three letters. I especially like they Cryptum skin for the Scattershot and the green Needler.

I would prefer that map-based weapons remain default.

However it would be nice to set skins for power weapons you call in with Ordinance Drops. Since they would be “yours”.

I agree, they do call it PERSONAL ordnance for a reason i suppose

I like this.

It’d be hard to change it in the ui… but armour abilities… Imagine different skin jetpacks, or effects on armour abilities.

Pretty cool concept. I really like a lot of the ideas posted here.

Different colored needles and railgun trails and Fuel rod cannon bolts would be pretty epic, I think I’ve mentioned this a while ago

Different colored projectiles would be very cool, and I also discovered two unused weapon skins. There was a cyan one on a Storm Rifle, and an orange on a DMR. I went into a custom came, Infinity Rumble, set the time to infinite, and both weapons as random. Eventually you’ll get these two weapons.

I have always wanted to see a gold gravity hammer, and a silver energy sword…

I always wanted a puce or pink beam rifle.

The two you have mentioned there are the Storm rifle Chill and the DMR Striped

you get the storm rifle chill by purchasing the halo 4 series 2 elite ranger figure (code is in the packaging of the figure)

the DMR Striped is unlocked by having the bullseye map pack, spartan assault, and completing some waypoint glyphs.

Can you still get the DMR skin if you got the Champion’s Bundle? And do I just need the Spartan Assault game, or do I need to complete something in it?

I really don’t see a point to this…

…But why the hell not?

I could see this work, and it really wouldn’t be that bad. So I voted “yes”.

I dunno. Personal skins sounds like something pretty neat.
