Iron Banner: Year 2 weapons

◀︎ Year 2 Iron Banner weapons:
Roar of the Bear — Legendary / Power / Rocket launcher
Talons of the Eagle — Legendary / Kinetic / Scout Rifle

This week at Bungie, the Revelry has begun — Gamer and reviewer Dychronic runs us through Bungie's notes for TWAB that dropped on Thursday April 18th. Destiny 2's first ever Kinetic Linear Fusion Rifle (Arbalest) can be earned during the Spring festival, until May 7th (see the Revelry page for more event details).

Additionally, an emblem is also available if you eliminate 150 enemies with Super abilities during the Revelry. You may claim your Super Celebratory Triumph through Bungie's Rewards page.

Story-telling — The Drifter has a lot more to say than "Ding!" How old is the Drifter? Who is the Shadow? What is the Haul? For some fascinating backstory / lore, check out this Polygon article, wherein Bungie developers explain who the Drifter is and what drives him.

Iron Banner — Lord Saladin returns to his perch atop the Tower to hold this battle between Guardians for control of territory. Iron Burdon will not be back in Season 7. The above image shows the weapon rewards for the next IB event. The Iron Banner and Double Valor schedule is as follows:

Start — April 23rd 10 AM (PT)
 End — April 30th 10 AM (PT)

Ghostly Blades — Since Spectral Blades has been running amok in the Crucible (and Gambit too), Bungie will be reigning it in with the following "nerf" plan (i.e. damage reduction), which also includes Super duration reductions:

SPECTRAL BLADES
— Out-of-stealth DR reduced from 60% ☛ 52%
— In-stealth DR reduced from 62% ☛ 54.4%

SUPER DURATION
— Super length out-of-stealth with no attacking: 17.5 ☛ 14.5 seconds
— Super length in-stealth with no attacking: 26.6 ☛ 23.5 seconds
— Light meleé cost increased by 50%
