Oh, and can I say... (Destiny)

...the Iron Banner weapons this time around are pretty fantastic.

I got a Lingering Song (HC) last night with Luck in the Chamber... and it's a pretty serious beast. Best HC in my arsenal, at the moment.

The IB Shotgun, with decent perks (and it's dropped so often that I have a pretty huge range of choices) is finally increasing my Crucible shotgun kills. (My titan has 33,000 crucible kills. Shotguns make up 480 of those. Close to 10% of those came last night.)

People have been raving about the Clever Dragon (Pulse Rifle) - I had one drop at the end of the night, with Perfect Balance and Headseeker. I'm really looking forward to giving it a workout.

The Sniper is a beast, if you don't live and die by Impact.

It's unlikely to displace Quillim's (because I'm in love with Quillim's, we're gonna get married), but Unending Deluge III is a pretty darned impressive Machine Gun.

I'm not a Fusion Rifle guy, but The Branded Lord seems... dangerous. I mean, I got a couple of kills with it, which increased the total Crucible Kills with FRs on my Hunter by 50%. (Heh. I had 4 going into this IB. Now I have 6. Out of 12.5k Crucible kills. :) )

The Auto Rifle is a bullet hose, in the best sense of the word. (Kicks like a mule, but with a few Stability perks, it's not hard to control.)

This seems like a first. There isn't a bad one in the bunch. That's pretty nice.
