"Destiny" players can get a new gun from "Rise of Iron" right now


Destiny - Rise of Iron: Legendary Vendor Weapons to buy before Rise of Iron Drops!

Destiny players still need to wait another week and a half until the release of Rise of Iron but Bungie has served up a sneak preview as part ofa preparatory patch that was beamed outyesterday. While the update is largely concerned with laying groundwork for the expansion, it does present the opportunity to earn a new gun ahead of time.

One of the exotic weapons set to be introduced by Rise of Iron is now obtainable by all players, according to a report from Eurogamer. The Trespasser is a brand new sidearm, and its being reported that it is the most powerful weapon of this kind to be added to the game so far.

Rise of Iron will apparently buff sidearms considerably in an attempt to increase their popularity among players. This particular type of gun is expected to become 20to 30 percent more powerful during PvE gameplay, and will also pack more of a punch in PvP activities.

The patch also allows engrams to be decrypted at light levels higher than 335, reflecting the fact that the level cap from The Taken Kingis being increased. Other tweaks made to prepare for Rise of Iron include interface changes to the games quest screen, and improved rewards for public events.

Yesterdays update also contains much of the content set to be added to the game via Rise of Iron, which should helpplayers to dive into the DLCstraight away when it releases later this month. Of course, anyone thats still gaming on an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 will be left out in the cold Bungie is dropping supportfor legacy consoles with the launch of the games fourth expansion.

Destiny: Rise of Iron is scheduled to release for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on September 20, 2016. The expansions new Raid, entitled Wrath of the Machines, will be available from September 23.

Destiny: Xur weapons, gear and location, September 9-11. Bad Juju!


Destiny Sniper Nerf: Competitive Sniping is Dead (Rise of Iron Patch)

Xur"s back! Wafting his little wispy tentacles seductively in your face and being all "my will is not my own". Do you think he breaths like normal people? I always imagine those wafty strands are like ribbons on a vent. It must be like standing in front of gentle air conditioning set to "warm and damp".

This week Destiny"s hooded one is skulking about the Tower, under those big doors opposite the Speaker, with helmets for everyone! (Although, if you"re a Hunter we"re, so, so sorry). And, for pulse rifle fans, Bad Juju is bringing some good luck to all your burst fire hopes and dreams.

Here"s the full list.

  • An Insurmountable Skullfort (Titan helmet, 13 strange coins)
  • ATS/8 Arachnid (Hunter helmet, 13 strange coins)
  • Apotheosis Veil (Warlock helmet, 13 strange coins)
  • Bad Juju (pulse rifle, 23 strange coins)
  • Legacy engram (gauntlet, 29 strange coins)

Working on through the helmets first we"ve got the Titan"s Insurmountable Skullfort, which is great if you like melee. It spawns you ready to punch and with an extra charge in the bank, as well as adding melee charge on orb pick ups and bonus super juice on melee kills. Plus it refills your health when you use Storm Fist. Basically, if you"re a Titan who likes punching things you need this.

Next up is the Hunter"s ATS/8 Arachnid which isn"t probably worth the effort as all it does it let you zoom when using Golden Gun. Hunters: best wait, there are more useful magic hats out there.

That brings us on to the Warlock"s Apotheosis Veil. This fills your health, melee and grenade energy when you activate your super. That makes it great for comebacks when things get a bit much, especially with Sunsinger"s support focus or Stormcaller"s crowd control powers.

Which just leaves us with Bad Juju, a fast powerful pulse rifle that can be switched to full auto. It"s accurate, especially with its bonus hipfire perk and has a perk called String of Curses that means it can reload itself, buff damage and charge your Super on every kill. It"s worth it.

As ever you"ve got until 10am GMT/2am PT on Sunday to make your choice and earn what you need. And don"t forget to grab some Three of Coins while you"re there. You"re never not going to need them.

Seen something newsworthy? Tell us!
