Trials and Iron Banner Loadouts (Destiny)

by Cody Miller @, Music of the Spheres - Never Forgot, Monday, October 05, 2015, 16:54 (3433 days ago)

With both Iron Banner and trials coming, I'm getting quite excited to find the new guns and loadouts that work the best! Can we throw around ideas in this thread?

Obviously we'll all have different play styles, but if you post what you liked to run before, others who have tried weapons can make suggestions.

My old favorites:

Primary: Messanger or the Exotic hand Cannons
Secondary: Purifier VII
Heavy: Truth or Radeghast

New:

Primary: I am thinking The Villainy from FWC. Nice stable pulse rifle with decent range. 3 burst kill. I haven't yet found or used anything as ranged or stable as the messenger with a 2 burst kill. Either that or Hawkmoon Year 2. I'd love to experiment with the new Surros as well.

Secondary: The Vacancy. No question. It's a beast of a fusion rifle that's as close to the glory days as you can get. It's an omolon make, and has the range and laser like spread. The only downfall is very low aim assist, but leading targets is something I'm getting better at.

Heavy: The Vertigo or Truth year two. Vertigo is very Radeghast like in stats, and mine has grenades and horseshoes.

Any good weapons to suggest?

I am going to buy a Hawksaw Today to play with. I have heard really good things and watched a few videos, looks great so far.

Secondary is where it gets a little tricky. I havent found a legendary shotgun I like. I will probably spend the rest of this week working this out. trying new weapons. I really like my stillpiercer, so that is where I may hang my hat.

Heavy this time for me will definitely be a MG. My Ruin Wake is great, and my Quillims Terminus as well. I find that since the changes to Rockets, they dont do as great for me as they once did.

For Primary, I'm going to start off by experimenting with my Herja-D and Apple of Apple of Discord. Both have headseeker and near-max stability. In my special slot I'm going to try The Chaperon and/or Invective and see how that goes. In my heavy slot I'll probably use my Ceres Lost BMJ-46. Decent blast radius, Javelin & Tracking.

I got a Hawksaw with Perfect Balance, Full Auto, and lightweight/Smallbore, so it's a laser of death, but I've been using my Bad Juju a lot more, so that might be what I use. (Got a 296 Hawkmoon, though, but I don't really like it anymore).


As far as secondary, the Conspiracy Theory is a perfect successor to the Party Crasher, but I've grown fond of the Black Spindle and 1000 Yard Stare in Crucible.

For Heavy, I got a Ruin Wake, but since I never go for Heavy, it doesn't matter. :P

Primary: Red Death. No brainer.

Secondary: Either Conspiracy Theory D or 1000 yard stare, depending on the map.

Heavy: Currently, I only have my legendary sword. But I'm thinking of buying Ruin Wake or The Smolder. Who knows, I might even buy both.

Primary: Red Death 2.0. As R41 said, this is a no brainer.
Secondary: Again in agreement with R41, Conspiracy Theory D. 300 light is the best you can get, and this comes that way.
Heavy: Qullum's Terminus. The HMG is *beastly* in PvP. 5-7 kills per mag (seriously) and no time is lost to reloads since it does it automatically while on your back. If you don't have this guy, I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry. Drops from The Warpriest, for anyone curious. If I *must* snipe, I'll be using Stillpiercer (or the new Omolon sniper... we'll see what roll I can get with it).

Armor is less cut-and-dry for me than weapons. I'll probably roll with Sealed Ahamkara Grips for the extra melee (and bonus melee recharge (15 seconds for a bladedancer melee charge!), but that leaves me with a blue helmet. Or I could spring for a knuclehead radar 2.0 with my purple gloves... That's probably my best bet. Final option would be Graviton helmet with my purple gloves; I just need to practice actually using that dodge.

Old:
Primary Allfate or Time on Target PR's
Secondary Found Verdict or Party Crasher
Heavy Ash Factory or Truth.

New:
Primary Hawksaw is a great successor to ToT. Almost identical in every stat. I'm finding I prefer the 3 round bursts over the 4 of the Hakke weapons. I also like Hung Jury from DO, though I don't normally like scouts.

Secondary will probably be Silence of Narnia, the shotty from the raid. That auto reload while stored is great and it has very good impact.

Heavy will probably be truth.

I would like to try the new Suros out. I keep forgetting I can buy it with marks. I think that increased ROF would be very handy for close to mid range fights.

My tough choice will be in what subclass to run. While Hammer Titan seems obvious, I still like my Striker and Defender.

It's cool. Feels like a mini-Thunderlord.
