All Iron Banner Weapons and Armor, preview
Hi guardians welcome back, today we are going to preview all the Iron Banner Weapons and Armor.
This year's's Iron banner armor looks very nice, with a lot of plating and it has some of the best looking helmets of all iron banner armor sets. The gold highlights are back and it is this time combined with dark and light green.
As for the weapons they have gone all out on these, all the weapons are either in the highest or lowest impact archetype. These archetype are currently not performing the best in the crucible but there are definitely some guns with interesting perks that will make them worthwhile which we will talk about in this video.
Lets start with the The Time-Worn Spire a fast firing pulse rifle in the 540 rounds per minute archetype. This gun will fire super fast, and you will need all the stability that you can get to make sure your shots count , luckily this gun comes with Tactical Mag and Zen moment which will increases the stability of this gun.
The next one up is the Steady Hand Hand Cannon, this is the high impact high recoil hand cannon from Iron Banner and it has interesting perks that can make this a great weapon. Normally an high impact hand cannon has great range and impact but it lacks a lot in handling speed and usually it comes with a horrible reload speed. I am looking at you Ill Will….
But this particular hand cannon has outlaw and flared magwell to help negate that poor reload speed. Flared magwell gives you a base reload speed increase, and outlaw will drastically improves the reload speed upon precision kills.
If you enjoy using the first curse in Destiny 1 then you should try this gun out.
The Forward path is a fast firing auto rifle. Yeah that's it, oh yeah and it has armor piercing rounds that overpenetrate targets and extended mag to increase your mag size, and tap the trigger which grants increased stability and accuracy on the initial trigger pull.
Fast firing auto rifles do not sit in a good spot at the moment, the 450 rounds per minute auto rifles are dominating the crucible. You can do well with this gun in PVE, but I can not recommend using this in the crucible over a Uriel's Gift or Origin Story, those two are really the best auto rifles in the game that you should be using. I have reviews of both these guns, you can find it in the youtube card on the right hand corner that should pop up now or have a look at the links in the description below.
The guiding sight is an high impact low rate of fire scout rifle. It has tactical mag which increases stability , reload speed and slightly increase the mag. Armor piercing rounds that overpenetrate targets and pulse monitor that auto reloads part of the mag when you are critically wounded.
If you haven't noticed it yet, the Mida Multi Tool is dominating the crucible , while there are good replacements for that like the Future War Cult Pleiades Corrector, but the Guiding Sight is not one of them. It fires slow and the mag size is also low, so in the crucible you will be over ran by faster firing scouts or auto rifles in general and in PVE these high impact slow firing scouts are very frustrating to use, it fires very slowly and your killing streak is constantly interrupted due to the low mag size. I am a collector so I will keep this gun in the vault and that is where it will stay.
The Hero's Burden is the fast firing submachine gun and this one looks great. If you like the MIDA mini tool, then you will like this gun as well. It has the same rate of fire and it has two great perks, high caliber rounds and threat detector.
High caliber rounds is a fantastic perk on any gun, it will knock the target back giving them a hard time to hit you back. And threat detector increases reload, stability and handling when enemies are in close proximity this pairs up very well with a submachine gun which is used in the short range. So most of your close range engagement with this gun will proc this perc giving you that extra boost in stability , handling and reload speed.
This is the gun that I will be grinding for.
The fool's remedy is the legendary sidearm, which also sits in the fastest firing archetype of 450 rounds per minute.
This has the Suros rapid fire which means that this is a full auto sidearm. It has ricochets and accurized rounds, I would go for accurized rounds to max out the range, and it also has moving target which increases the movement speed and target acquisition when moving while aiming down sights.
The wizened rebuke is the Iron Banner High Impact Fusion Rifle it has liquid coils for an increase in impact or enhanced battery to increase the mag size, and it has Backup Plan which reduces the charge time and increases the handling speed for a short time after swapping to this weapon. So this is basically the hot swap perk from destiny 1.
And the final gun is the Day's Fury grenade launcher. This sits in the low rate of fire high impact archetype. It has the Precision Frame which allows you to hold to fire and release to detonate the grenade. It has countermass, confined launch and volatile launch to adjust the blast radius, velocity, handling and projectile speed. I would go for Volatile launch to max out the blast radius, after that you have the option of mini frags which fires smaller grenades or spike grenades which do increased damage on direct hits. This is an high impact grenade launcher so I would recommend to play to its strengths and opt for Spike grenades.
To finish it off it has the snapshot sight.
So these are all the Iron Banner weapons and armor, as mentioned before this year's weapon set is particular weird as all the guns are so extreme. All the guns are either in the high impact or low impact archetypes, which is not necessarily the best archetype of weapons to use in the crucible.
But there are definitely some gems out there , my top 3 picks here would be the Hero's Burden Submachine gun, the steady hand hand cannon and the fool's remedy sidearm.
Stay tuned for more in depth weapon reviews on these guns which will come out soon.
Thanks you so much for watching this video. I hope this breakdown of the guns help you to decide on what to grind for. Subscribe if you want to see more content or watch my latest or recommended video in the end screen. As always I will see you in the next video guardians.
