The Titanium Orchid IB Rocket Launcher Review
Hi Swaye here another in-depth Iron Banner weapon review. This time we are going to review the new Iron Banner gear from the Rise of Iron expansion. Previously we have completed the Taken King Iron Banner weapon reviews, see the YouTube card in the right hand corner that should pop up now if you want to have a look at those weapon reviews again.
In the upcoming months I will continue to make reviews on the new Iron Banner weapons so subscribe to stay tuned for that.
We will start our new Iron Banner review serie with the rocket launcher the Titanium Orchid which we will be reviewing in this video.
You can obtain this from the Iron Banner bounties or you can get this from a rank 5 weapon package from Efrideet when Iron Banner is around. I got mine from a weapon bounty package.
I really like the look of this rocket launcher, the fur and the leather, like with any other Iron Banner weapon, really gives this a unique look.
Also the sound is pretty cool as well.
The perks that I got are
Aggressive launch
Smart Drift Control
Hard Launch
Heavy Payload
Fitted Stock
Lightweight
Flared Magwell
Grenades and Horseshoe
And Tripod
I am really happy with the roll that I got. This is in my opinion the best combination of perks that you can get for this particular rocket launcher.
Aggressive Launch and Heavy payload will max out the Blast Radius, and Flared magwell will help you reload the weapon faster for the next shot and Grenades and horseshoe is a must for any pvp rocket launcher. Ideally you want to have tripod instead of flared magwell so you can keep the pressure on your opponents without the need to reload but unfortunately that is not possible in the perk tree, so flared magwell is the next best thing to help you reload faster.
In general I am very happy with the new perk trees on the Iron Banner weapons. These now offer you a more balanced choice of options. For example the first column is always the same, so you can adjust the rocket launcher based on your preference whether this is Blast Radius, Velocity or better Recoil , the same can be found in the second column.
Honestly you just want to prioritize on Blast Radius, to make your rocket as lethal as possible upon detonation and then Velocity as you want to deliver the payload as fast as possible to your enemy.
For the third perk tree, the only viable option is Speed reload and Flared magwell, you are guaranteed to have either one of them to increase the reload speed so you are all set there.
As for the last perk tree the most popular choices are Grenades and Horseshoe and Tracking and you will have either one of them which is great. Grenades and horseshoe is considered better for pvp and tracking for pve. Luckily all of the less popular choices like cluster bomb, tripod, clown cartridge and spray and play are now in a separate perk slot.
What bungie tries to achieve with these perk tree is so that you have an higher probability of a useful perk roll when you get one of these dropped.
I can’t tell how many times that I have sharded rocket launchers because it did not had the right combination of perks that I want. First of all you need to be lucky to have one dropped with Grenades and Horseshoe and then you want to have the right perks to max out the blast radius and velocity, which is often not the case. So I am glad with these changes, and hopefully this can ease the grind for everyone to get a good rocket launcher.
And that is also my final verdict that this is at best a mediocre rocket launcher, but in a good way. With the best rolls that you can get like my version of the Titanium Orchid it has a good balance of blast radius and velocity. However there are plenty of other rocket launchers that are better like the Gunsmith JLB 47, The Truth or Gjallarhorn.
But due to the mentioned perk trees you have a good chance that you will have a solid roll on it that will be useable until you find a better Rocket launcher.
Let me know what your thoughts are on this rocket launcher and how you like the changes of the perk trees.
I hope you enjoyed this video. Subscribe to stay up to date on the latest reviews, and as always I will see you in the next video guardians.
