Finally a Good Weapon in TTK - Actually Worth Grinding For.
So, I decided to grind out Iron Banner this past weekend on my wife's account to get her the Heavy Machinegun.
She was only light level 278 so I figured it would be hard, but quickly found out that light level advantages in IB don't mean anything. Seriously, I went 2.0-4.0 k/d every game as a level 278 against 310s and 315s.
It turned out to be a great way to level her character up as she is now a 290 - albeit still with a blue helmet :-(
Anyways - I digress, the reason for this post is the loot she randomly got when she opened the rank 5 package... A [b]Colovance's Duty[/b]. The Iron Banner Scout Rifle. It is very similar to The Scholar (Adept) from Trials of Osiris in year 1 (hand's down the best Scout Rifle Destiny has ever had, for PvE anyway). It has max impact, near-max range, and a huge clip for a high impact Scout (15). Her's dropped with Reactive Reload, Last Resort, reload bonuses, and a scope similar to the Mida Multi-Tool.
I was so jealous that I grinded to rank 5 on all three of my characters in hopes of getting one - I raid with a Last Extremity and would delete it in an instant to replace it with one of these. Sadly, I didn't get one, but I did get a 319 primary weapon drop that I infused into my Touch of Malice (my Last Extremity is already 319).
When Colovance's Duty is available in a future Iron Banner, I highly recommend getting one.
[b]TL;DR - [/b]The year 2 Iron Banner Scout Rifle is the best PvE Scout Rifle in the game for year 2 (even better than the Last Extremity) and will be great for raiding. It is the closest thing to The Scholar (Adept) we've seen yet. The week it's available you should definitely get one.
