In the MMO shooter Destiny the April Iron Banner brings two top weapons. And a strange rank glitch occurs.
Today at 19:00 the April Iron Banner 2016 started in the Conflict mode. The two weapons that Lord Saladin offers both come with excellent rolls.
The important thing is: These weapons can be purchased directly from Lord Saladin at rank 4 (Rocket Launcher) and 5 (Auto Rifle). The “dropped weapons” after matches can have different properties. The weapons purchased from Saladin have the perks that we present here.
Tormod’s Bellows – Rocket Launcher of Dreams
At rank 4 with Saladin, there is the rocket launcher Tormod’s Bellows.
It comes with Void Damage.
The perk Grenades and Horseshoes is applied – rockets from this weapon explode prematurely, depending on the distance to the target.
Also Tripod – The barrel of this launcher holds three rounds.
And there are options between:
- Counterbalance – Predictable and manageable recoil. Range penalty
- Blast Radius – Higher speed and greater blast radius. Increased recoil.
- Hard Launch – Higher velocity and higher blast radius. Increased recoil.
For the selectable perk 2, you have a choice between:
- Field Scout – Increased ammunition capacity
- Perfect Balance – The recoil of this weapon is extremely low
- Heavy Payload – Increased blast radius for grenades
That’s already an excellent roll. It counts as a god roll.
Haakon’s Hatchet – Auto Rifle with Hammer Stability
The auto rifle Haakon’s Hatchet, an auto rifle with a mid-tier archetype, comes with
- Glass Half Full – Aiming with this weapon increases its effective range.
- Counterbalance – The stability of this weapon is significantly increased.
- And among the selectable perks there is also “Perfect Balance“.
Seems like the loot gods are generous with the Guardians this month. The Iron Banner runs in Destiny until next Tuesday at 11:00 AM. If you still need tips on how to grab the rewards and behave correctly, you should take a look at this article. We outlined everything there.
The remaining rewards, that is what armor there is, Bungie already revealed last week.
Strange Glitch Noticed
When logging into the Iron Banner, many Guardians reported that they received Iron Banner Rank 5. Apparently, this rank was not reset correctly before the event this time. So, some Guardians were able to go shopping right at the beginning if they had enough tokens.
However, Guardians report that after the first matches, they were back at Rank 0. No one received Rank 5 reward packages. Very mysterious.
Update: At 19:59, one hour after the start of the Iron Banner, Bungie tweeted that they had reset the reputation. They apologize for the delay.
Previous Iron Banner Reputation Gains have been reset.
