Buried Bloodline! My first base exotic at Bungie, this was a blast to work on. It has a very unique and understated design -- and is the first crossbow-like weapon in Destiny 2, representing the new 'rocket sidearm' architype of weapons. Design-wise, the intent was that it was an 'old heirloom' weapon so I wanted the gun to feel old/antique without being overly dirty or worn. "An elegant weapon for a more civilized age," so to speak...
