Destiny 2 Details New Iron Banner Weapons for Witch Queen
Though it may not have been obvious at first, Bungie has been slowly but certainly filling out its PvP loot pool in Destiny 2's Trials of Osiris and Iron Banner game modes. It's been a long and stretched-out process, and one that's bound to continue for some time yet, but that's what's been going on.
Specifically, the latest Destiny 2 developer blog has revealed two entirely new Iron Banner weapons that will be coming out as part of the ongoing Season of the Lost. A hand cannon and a sword, these weapons don't share any geometry with existing models, which is sure to make them more interesting to the player base by default.

While Destiny 2 will get an Iron Banner overhaul sometime in the future, the Frontier's Cry hand cannon and the Razor's Edge sword should be able to reinvigorate the Iron Banner playlist for a little while. The hand cannon is a 180 RPM precision frame weapon, seemingly kinetic, that can roll Steady Hands and Compulsive Reloader Perks, as well as Iron Banner's own range-boosting Iron Reach. The sword, on the other hand, is a Void vortex frame that rolls perks such as Unrelenting and Wellspring to go with the explosive Chain Reaction.
Design-wise, these clearly belong in the same set of weapons that have been coming out over the past few seasons.

Some players won't be thrilled by the fact that there's no new Iron Banner
