In the Iron Banner in Season 6, Guardians can earn a special version of the fusion rifle “The Clever Rebuke”. With a trick, this lengthy task in Destiny 2 becomes a bit easier.
Here’s what this weapon is about: The fusion rifle “The Clever Rebuke” itself is not really new. However, in Season 6, Guardians can earn a curated version of this weapon – with fixed rolls and as a masterpiece of level 10.
Thus, the Iron Banner now has a kind of top weapon. More information about the weapon can be found here: “The Clever Rebuke” – Perks and Stats
With this trick, you can get the weapon faster
Here’s what you need to do for the weapon: However, you won’t just get this new weapon handed to you. It’s actually a bit harder to get the Clever Rebuke than originally described by Bungie.
Initially, when the weapon was introduced, it was stated that you had to defeat 500 Guardians while the effect of Iron Burden is active. Iron Burden is a new consumable that lowers your power level by 100 levels.
But as the Iron Banner triumph “Atlas, Unbound” reveals, the defeated enemies must also have a higher power level than you. And that is not so easy. Many Guardians have already reached the new cap of 700 and are playing in the Iron Banner with their best gear.
Consequently, many effectively run around with a power level of 600 or just below. But if you, for example, defeat another 600 power level Guardian or lower, it does not count towards the triumph. So it’s not that easy to find “suitable” enemies that contribute to progress.
This is how you can get the weapon faster: To maximize the number of enemies that are above your power level and thus expedite the hunt for the 500 kills, some Guardians resort to a curious trick – but it seems to pay off.
Basically, the idea is to equip worse or weaker gear. Here, you not only use Iron Burden but also gear with a power level below the current cap of 700 – such as blue and purple items or exotics with a lower power level from the collection.
With this method, you should aim for a maximum power level of 595. At 550, the chances of success are currently believed to be the highest. Then the number of players who are above you in level should be noticeably higher, while you still have a good chance against them.
What do you think about the way you need to earn this weapon? Is “The Clever Rebuke” worth the effort for you?
