The Time-Worn Spire
Hi Guardians welcome back for another destiny in-depth review where I review exotics and legendary gear in order to give you a comprehensive understanding of the gear so you can play this game as efficient and effective as possible.
Today we are going to review the Iron Banner Pulse Rifle the Time-Worn Spire.
This is a fast firing pulse rifle that sits in the 540 rounds per minute archetype similar like the Lincoln Green, but then with much better stats, as you can see The Time Worn Spire is better in terms of range, handling, reload speed, aim assistance and it also has more bullets in the mag if you choose the Tactical Mag perk. It only has a slightly lower stability of 1 point in comparison with the lincoln Green.
Let's go over the perks, it has the rapid fire frame which grants you a faster reload when the mag is empty. Hit mark, Red Dot, and the rifle scope. I like to use the Red Dot sight.
Tactical mag, slightly increases stability, reload speed and mag size,
Accurized rounds, increase in range
And Zen moment, causing damage with this weapon increases its stability.
I like to run the red dot sight together with the tactical mag which bumps up the stability and increases the mag size to a whopping 40 bullets in the mag.
The time worn spire is a great pulse rifle , it fires super fast and the stability on this gun is great. Zen moment really helps with keeping the recoil is at a minimum and this gun feels like the Clever Dragon from Destiny 1 , it is that good.
Whereas the Clever Dragon suffered from a mag nerf, which only allows it to have 21 bullets, this gun with tactical mag has 40 bullets , which means that you have enough bullets to engage with multiple opponents without the need to reload, you will rarely run out of bullets with this gun and when you do, the reload of this gun is great so you will be back in action in no time.
It is a pulse rifle so you will suffer from damage fall off when you engage on the long range, definitely do not compete with a scout on those longer ranges. Stick to the Short to Medium range that is where this gun is most effective.
Your main contenders are auto rifles which are very strong in the same short to medium range. Especially the 450 rounds per minute auto rifles are still very dominant.
The Time Worn Spire time to kill is 1.13 seconds with 4 burst which is 9 headshots and 3 body shots, and this will decrease to 1.67 seconds when you only hit body shots (5.33 burst or 16 body shots)
Technically speaking auto rifles will still outperform the Time Worn Spire in terms of time to kill. I will show the time to kill numbers on the screen. As you can see auto rifles are still 6 to 7 hundredths of a second faster to their optimum time to kill , I would have loved to have the ttk of the time worn spire to be slightly better than auto rifles giving the fact that pulse rifles are harder to manage than auto rifles, which is a much more forgiving weapon when you miss a shot.
But the slight difference in time to kill should not take away the fact that this is one of the best or in my opinion the best pulse rifle in the game. This is basically the Clever Dragon from Destiny 1 with more bullets in the mag, it is very stable and it is so easy to use. You just have to stick to the short to medium range and this gun will do you good.
Out of all the Iron Banner weapons this is my favorite gun and if you haven't got it yet, I highly recommend you to grind for this gun, it is that good! I am going to give the TIme worn spire an A.
Thank you so much for watching this review, I hope this review convinced you to try out this weapon and I am sure you will see more of these in the crucible soon.
