Destiny is about safeguarding humanity, uncovering the lost secrets of our golden age and fighting back against the McDarkness that threatens to to engulf our species and snuff it out once and for all. It’s also all about the loot, which is infinitely more important, something that most number-crunchers can agree on with me. Here’s a look at all the lovely new potential gear on the way back into the game.
Destiny briefly brought back the Iron Banner PvP event, which has now been removed, suggesting it went live a little prematurely. It’s all about carrying over your sort of but not actually single-player numbers to the more-multiplayer side of the game, with bounties such as these available:
- Anvil of Light – Kill 50 guardians with IB emblem, shader and class item equipped
- Iron Embrace – 20 melee kills
- Rise Above – Finish with the highest score
- Exacting Measures – 15 headshot sprees
- Chaos and the Calm – 30 machine gun headshot kills
- Heavy Metal – 15 machine gun sprees
Complete them, and you’ll nab some trendy new sigils and shaders:
- Million Million shader
- Gold Spiral shader
- Sigil of the Iron Lords
- Sigil of the Radegast
Which will then lead to you being able to grab loot such as this gear, via VG247:
Oh yeah baby, look at dem numbers.

For some reason the shaders doesn’t apply to exotic armour which is a pity.

The gear is nice and it’ll get you into the raid when upgraded but it’s unfortunately not better than raid gear and it won’t get you to level 30. There easier ways to get gear to get into the raid though.

Apparently the chest piece is supposed to be 30 light when fully upgraded according to the weekly update when they discussed Iron Banner event and changes coming to it. If this is not true then Iron Banner is still useless…

Yip, I see it more as a fun time session in PVP with over powerful gear where lower levels die much easier.
Nikola
November 4, 2014 at 14:50
Well when u put it that way that sounds like fun, count me in:) (where does lower level noobz?)

372 for the helmet sounds like raid level defence?

Bungie is going to allegedly be introducing some level 30+ PVP gear. It makes sense, if you look at the Raid gear perks, they only benefit raids; enhance recharge speeds for killing Praetorians or Oracles, chance to drop orbs after killing vex with a critical or melee…how does that help you in multiplayer, when you could be wearing level 29 gear that helps your general combat; make grenades last longer, enhances recharge upon melee etc. This is why I no longer use full raid gear, I use at least one exotic because I need some actual perks that help my class do stuff outside of raids. What if I’m wearing my raid gear on a hive Strike, even? That doesn’t help me there either…only in light level.

Bah, we are supposed to fight the darkness not each other >:(
Also they need to fix the raid loot. Getting to level 30 is pure change at the moment, plus you can only get rewards once a week so that’s 52 chances a year to get he elusive loot.

Plus now we have to deal with the real final boss of Destiny Eskom!! Since everyone has load shedding on different days raiding this week will be challenging.

Luckily Whatsapp isn’t dependent of Eskom so we can stay in contact

Yeah dude now if we could only get @Sageville on whatsapp into the raid chat would be great;) hahaha

52 x 5 x 2 x 2
52 weeks, 5 = chests and bosses for possible drops, normal and hard mode each week, double drops in hard. you only need three pieces and an exotic bought from xur. it is pure luck but its not that bad
