In the MMO shooter, weapon master Banshee-44 has new weapons available. Additionally, today is “Lost in the Light,” the daily quest, so it’s a Black Spindle day.
Banshee-44 appears to be quite unimpressed by yesterday’s update. We report on his offerings.
These are the 5 test weapons this week
If you want to acquire exotic items from Banshee-44 or wish to gain reputation with him for other reasons, you should try these prototypes:
- A hand cannon from Häkke is meant to be used against Cabal.
- A fusion rifle from Omolon targets Vex Minotaurs.
- The pulse rifle from Suros hunts Scorn targets.
- Suros also provides a rocket launcher eager for “higher-tier enemies.”
- A sniper rifle from Omolon aims to take down Fallen Captains.
After the patch: These 5 weapons can be ordered this week
- First up is the auto rifle Häkke Zarinea-D. A solid, but not outstanding choice; as a “mid-tier auto rifle,” it remains unaffected by the patch changes.
- The scout rifle Suros Dis-43 is available this week. It’s also a weapon in the mid-range; it’s not bad, but not a super weapon either. The Dis-43 has a very high range among scout rifles.
- The scout rifle Tuonela SR4 has values quite similar to the Dis-43. However, it has significantly increased stability, although a smaller magazine and less range. It’s a very popular weapon among Guardians.
- The pulse rifle Lyudmila-D as a “slow pulse rifle” received a 3% base damage boost. It might be an alternative in the Crucible again.
- The sniper rifle Aiofe Rua-D is also new. Due to changes in the revival mechanics, it’s possible that sniper rifles with medium impact could also gain traction now. Time will tell. The Aiofe with 22 impact should now also be a so-called “revive sniper.” Previously, PvP pros rarely considered sniper rifles like Eirene or Null Perspective for that slot.
Which weapons can be picked up this week?
An Arminius-D (freshly generated) comes with crowd control, target acquisition, and small caliber rifle. For those who like such things.
A Suros Dis-47 can be obtained with outlaw, perfect balance, and reinforced barrel.
A Suros PDX-41 is available with hammer forged, unyielding, and rifled barrel. Another roll brings: target acquisition, adjusted stock, and reinforced barrel.
4 out of 5 weapons from last week Zarinea-D, Kumakatok HC4, Suros PDX-41, Tamar-D, can be seen here. Only the rocket launcher is missing, but … oh well.
Today is “Lost in the Light” the daily quest. This means:Black Spindle and Wiensänger are accessible. Hopefully, Guardians who found it too difficult in Destiny until now can also get to it.
