[Top 15] Destiny 2 Best Iron Banner Weapons That Wreck Hard!
Season 18 of Destiny 2 will see the return of the Iron Banner, which now has new loot, a new game style, and significantly improved payouts. Iron Banner also offers a few fantastic weapons in addition to its four Pinnacle bonuses.
While not all Iron Banner weapons are excellent, several are regarded as some of the best in the entire game. Let's discuss the top 15 iron banner weapons of all time, along with their god-rolls. These weapons are available by completing iron banner matches or decrypting iron engrams.
You can now focus your iron engrams on your preferred weapon in Season 17's weapon-focusing feature to score the epic god roll you've longed for.
15. The Time-Worn Spire (Best for PvP)
Forged in honor of Silimar, and persistence in the face of impossible odds.
In Destiny 2, the Time Worn Spire is a Rapid-Fire Frame pulse weapon. It initially returned in Year 2 with random rolls and additional perks after having static rolls in Year 1.
Instead of barrel benefits, the Time Worn Spire has sight perks. The Hitmark IS, Cleanshot IS, and Red Dot Micro are a few of the best options. You can choose from a few different magazine perks. It doesn't have the same range as other pulse rifle frames because it is a rapid-fire frame.
The Time-Worn Spire Full Details
PvP God roll:
- Barrel: Red Dot Micro
- Magazine: High-caliber Rounds
- Perk 1: Moving Target
- Perk 2: Rampage
14. Swarm of the Raven (Best for PvE)
"With enough altitude, Felwinter's destruction would blanket the field farther than you could see." —Lord Saladin
Grenade launchers have evolved into one of the most significant weapon types in Destiny 2's current PvE meta, enabling players to do tremendous damage to boss enemies. Players have learned about one of the strongest damage-dealing grenade launchers in the game, Swarm of the Raven, thanks to the heightened attention paid to grenade launchers.
This grenade launcher is a drum-fed weapon that fits in the Heavy weapon slot and has a high rate of fire. It is not brand-new to Destiny 2; it was included in Season 4 and has been available in the Iron Banner loot pool ever since.
Swarm of the Raven Full Details
PvE God roll:
- Barrel: Volatile Launch
- Magazine: Proximity Grenades
- Perk 1: Field Prep
- Perk 2: Rampage
13. Orewing’s Maul (Best for PvE)
"They were the first to chart the Cosmodrome's mountains." —Lord Saladin
Although Orewing's Maul may not look like much at first glance, it is an S-Tier option in PVE when equipped with the proper perks.
Most of this weapon's value comes from a magazine option called Blinding Grenades rather than one of the perks in the last two columns. This weapon's bonus feature makes it possible to prevent your opponent from striking back, giving you the advantage in combat in a matter of seconds.
You may blind everything in your line of sight when used with Field Prep or an Auto-Loading Holster, which is incredibly helpful in all PVE activities, including Grandmaster Nightfalls and Master Raids.
PvE God roll:
- Barrel: Hard Launch
- Magazine: Blinding Grenades
- Perk 1: Field Prep
- Perk 2: Auto-Loading Holster
12. Razor’s Edge (Best for PvE)
Not a soul would speak of what remained after that wretched blade found its marks.
In Destiny 2, Razor's Edge is a brand-new Legendary Sword, and unquestionably one of the best weapons guardians can find in Iron Banner. Razor's Edge and the Falling Guillotine are similar in terms of those properties because they are both Void Swords with Vortex Frames.
The Razor's Edge sword excels in PvE due to its status as a vortex frame. The shining blade also pairs nicely with the recently updated void 3.0 subclasses, allowing players to be creative with their builds.
PvE God roll:
- Blade: Tempered Edge
- Guard: Balanced Guard
- Perk 1: Unrelenting
- Perk 2: One For All
11. Finite Impactor (Best for PvE)
Do not say a little in many words—say a great deal in a few.
The Finite Impactor is an adaptive frame hand cannon with a 140 RPM arc kept in the inventory's energy slot. Although the 140 RPM archetype is not currently prevalent in the meta, Guardians can still utilize this against opponents with arc shields by equipping the proper perks and modifications.
PvE God roll:
- Barrel: Fastdraw HCS
- Magazine: Flared Magwell
- Perk 1: Killing Wind
- Perk 2: Multikill Clip
10. Roar of the Bear (Best for PvE)
"Silimar's defense broke more assaults than not. His retribution would shake the ground." —Lord Saladin
The roar of the Bear will suffice for the majority because it is still a massive, foolish Rocket Launcher with a massive explosion radius. It is challenging to decide on the ideal combo because the updated version offers what is arguably the biggest perk pool of any Rocket Launcher ever.
Tracking Module and Impulse Amplifier are both in the perk pool if you desire more rockets, faster, homing rockets, or both. Both Ambitious Assassin and Field Prep is available to assist. Except for Chain Reaction, which won't give anything because Roar of the Bear's explosion radius is already so vast that there are probably no survivors to chain to, things don't get any easier on the right perk column.
PvE God roll:
- Barrel: Volatile Launch
- Magazine: Alloy Casing
- Perk 1: Field Prep
- Perk 2: Vorpal Weapon
9. The Wizened Rebuke (Best for PvP)
Forged in honor of Skorri, of lessons learned and lessons taught.
For Guardians who want to obtain an Arc High-Impact Frame Fusion Rifle, the Wizened Rebuke Fusion Rifle has been updated and made a reappearance in Destiny 2. There are just a few Fusion Rifles like this in Destiny 2, and only two other weapons can deliver this kind of damage, both of which are no longer attainable.
The Wizened Rebuke Full Details
PvP God roll:
- Barrel: Hammer-Forged Rifling
- Battery: Accelerated Coils
- Perk 1: Steady Hands
- Perk 2: Backup Plan
8. Archon’s Thunder (Best for PvE)
"Earth weapons strong, but Eliksni make stronger. What your Zavalakel says: stronger, together?" —House Light Weaponsmith
Archon’s Thunder is a legendary Machine Gun first introduced in Iron Banner of Season 14. Since then, it’s been fantastic for PvE and some of the game’s PvP content. It is a heavy slot weapon with solar damage to the enemy and uses heavy ammo. It also has a large round barrel with a copper molded handle that looks great.
PvE God roll:
- Barrel: Arrowhead Brake
- Magazine: Appended Mag
- Perk 1: Surplus
- Perk 2: Rampage
PvP God roll:
- Barrel: Corkscrew Rifling
- Magazine: Accurized Rounds
- Perk 1: Killing Wind
- Perk 2: Iron Grip
7. Forge’s Pledge (Best for PvP)
"Say whatever you like. You'd just better be brave enough to say it to his face." —Lady Efrideet
Forge's Pledge, the Iron flag pulse rifle introduced in the Lost season of Destiny 2, brings more than just the Eliksni-inspired design we saw on Riiswalker last season. It could roll witha variety of rolls suited for various PvP and PvE activities.
When it comes to rolls, choosing a god roll for Forge's Pledge depends on the type of action and a tip on personal preference.
PvP God roll:
- Barrel: Hammer-Forged Rifling
- Magazine: Accurized Rounds
- Perk 1: Heating Up
- Perk 2: Rampage
6. Steady Hand (Best for PvP and PvE)
Forged in honor of Perun, and a just and unwavering resolve.
The Steady Hand Hand Cannon is a potent weapon that works well in various PvP and PvE activities. It is comparable in damage to Bottom Dollar, dealing Kinetic damage with a 92 Impact and 120 RPM.
The stability of The Steady Hand, which currently has a base stat of 32, will rise when a player masterworks this weapon. This weapon features many valuable perks that make it excellent for both PvP and PvE, unlike the Bottom Dollar Hand Cannon or other Legendary Hand Cannons.
PvP God roll:
- Barrel: Truesight HCS
- Magazine: High Caliber Rounds
- Perk 1: Slideshot
- Perk 2: Swashbuckler
PvE God roll:
- Barrel: Truesight HCS
- Magazine: Appended Mag
- Perk 1: Outlaw
- Perk 2: Swashbuckler
5. Frontier’s Cry (Best for PvE and PvP)
The sky bled crimson as the hills carried that terrible crack.
Frontier's Cry is a brand-new Solar Hand Cannon with the unique Origin Trait known as Skulking Wolf from Iron Banner. Whether it's the fan-favorite Riiswalker Shotgun in Destiny 2 or the new Frontier's Cry Hand Cannon, Skulking Wolf is the guaranteed Origin Trait on all weapons from Iron Banner.
Skulking Wolf is a pure PvP Origin Trait, specifically Iron Banner. Final blows with this weapon during the Hunt, when one team has taken control of all three regions, award increased radar and remove the user from the rival team's radar. This perk is ideal for hunters and the prey because it activates irrespective of whose team is in control of the Hunt.
PvE God roll:
- Barrel: Hammer-Forged Rifling
- Magazine: Accurized Rounds
- Perk 1: Stas for All
- Perk 2: One for All
PvP God roll:
- Barrel: Hammer-Forged Rifling
- Magazine: Accurized Rounds
- Perk 1: Rapidhit
- Perk 2: Kill Clip
4. Occluded Finality (Best for PvP)
Silence is better than unmeaning words.
Occluded Finality initially appeared in Season 3's Warmind DLC for Destiny 2. It had a static roll, with Field Prep as its only attribute, like all weapons from that era. It is now back with random rolls (and Field Prep is not an option), and while it will probably be used more in PvP than PvE, it wouldn't be a bad alternative for Arc burn stuff in PvE.
Occluded Finality can be obtained during the Iron Banner as post-game drops, as a reward from Iron Banner bounties, or by giving Lord Saladin Iron Banner tokens.
Occluded Finality Full Details
PvP God roll:
- Barrel: Corkscrew Rifling or Extended Barrel
- Magazine: Ricochet Rounds
- Perk 1: Snapshot Sights
- Perk 2: Opening Shot
3. Multimach CCX (Best for PvP)
Friends are as companions on a journey who ought to aid each other to persevere.
The Multimach CCX SMG is a Lightweight Frame Kinetic SMG, which means that players can move more quickly when it is equipped. It offers many advantages that are helpful in PvP and PvE, raising the likelihood that players may obtain a God Roll.
The only way to obtain the Multimach CCX is to advance in Lord Saladin's rankings and acquire Iron engrams. You might also focus these iron engrams to obtain the ideal god roll.
PvP God roll:
- Barrel: Model 8 Red Scope
- Magazine: Accurized Rounds
- Perk 1: Dynamic Sway Reduction
- Perk 2: Kill Clip
2. Peacebond (Best for PvP)
"I will honor the terms of this armistice on one condition: the Iron Lords enforce it." —Lord Saladin
In Destiny 2, we don't frequently observe a sidearm becoming more common. Breachlight and The Last Hope, two sidearms that proved to be excellent primary weapon options for PvE, are gone, but a new sidearm has imprinted on the Destiny 2 world.
For many Destiny 2 players, the legendary Peacebond kinetic stasis sidearm has come as a pleasant surprise. The weapon feels fantastic and has some remarkable benefits that might make it one of the greatest add-clearing weapons in the game.
PvP God roll:
- Barrel: Hammer-Forged Rifling
- Magazine: Accurized Rounds
- Perk 1: Rangefinder
- Perk 2: Harmony or Snapshot Sights
1. Riiswalker (Best for PvP)
"No. I will not allow a Fallen to fight in the Banner, that right is reserved for Guardians alone. But if you insist, I may allow a Guardian to carry a Fallen-forged weapon into battle. You are a weaponsmith, are you not?" —Lord Saladin to an Unknown Eliksni
In Destiny's Crucible, shotguns are a trademark due to their superior close-range performance. There are powerful and weak shotguns, just like most of the other weapons in the game.
You will unquestionably become a Crucible force to be reckoned with if you receive a Riiswalker god roll in Destiny 2. You can extend the range of this beast to OG Destiny 1 Shot Package levels of nastiness with the right combination of perks
PvP God roll:
- Barrel: Rifled Barrel
- Magazine: Accurized Rounds
- Perk 1: Surplus
- Perk 2: Iron Reach
