Destiny: The 5 Most Significant Weapons from TTK – They Shaped Year 2

In Destiny we look at 5 weapons that had a great impact on Year 2. These weapons shaped “The Taken King”.

Meanwhile, we are in the third year of Destiny – in a time dominated by Iron Lords, the Matador 64 and Clever Dragons. Guardians who have been around since launch know: It wasn’t always like this.

The first year of Bungie’s MMO shooter, however, brought forth weapons that quickly gained cult status and that every Guardian can tell a story about – provided they were around in Year 1. Hawkmoon, Suros Regime, Black Spindle, Icebreaker, Thorn, or Gjallarhorn are just a few examples that defined the early months of Destiny.

But which weapons had a significant impact on the game and the way Guardians played in Year 2? We present five of the most important weapons.

Iron Sledge – Dominant in PvP

The Iron Sledge was one of the most dominant weapons in the history of Destiny. While it was not often used in PvE, it was omnipresent in the Crucible during “The Taken King” times. It belongs to the archetype with low impact of 7 (one tier more impactful than The Clever Dragon):

The Iron Sledge was reliable and powerful in PvP. It came with strong stability and a slightly controllable recoil, which made it feel great in hand.

After the April update, the Iron Sledge with a top roll was available for purchase directly from the Crucible Quartermaster: Balance Compensation, Custom Stock and Smallbore. This pushed the stability to the max.

In short: The Iron Sledge was a powerful Crucible pulse rifle that was easily accessible to Guardians.
