The newest expansion of Destiny, the Rise of Iron came with a lot of new features and contents. In just a month after its release, a lot of dedicated and hardcore fans have already finished the added raids contents including achieving the end-game gears. Now, we'll take a look at some of the best gears for both PvP and PvE in the latest expansion.
Destiny: Rise of Iron The Palindrome
Even before the release of the Rise of Iron expansion, the PvP meta was heavily focused on hand cannons, where most of the players are seen grinding for a particular mythical item - The Eyasluna. This item gives incredible range and damage for the wielder that can easily compete against scout rifle range.
And now, a lot of Destiny: Rise of Iron hand cannon fans will be even more delighted upon the release of the newest "upgrade" of the Eyasluna - The Palindrome. The Palindrome has almost the same stats as the Eyasluna but with the addition of perfect rolls including Rifled Barrel and Rangefinder. Also, the recoil pattern of Palindrome is seemingly easier to manage than the Eyasluna.
Outbreak Prime in Destiny: Rise of Iron
Outbreak Prime is difficult to find as it requires Destiny: Rise of Iron players to tackle a certain quest line in order for it to become obtainable. The quest takes a while to finish and is pretty hard to accomplish but this item certainly is worth the while as it deals more damage to Fallen, which is pretty much most enemies of the new expansion. Outbreak is most effective for Wrath of the Machine and high-end PvE raids specially with the upcoming launch of the raid's new feature, Heroic Mode that basically improves the raid's difficulty.
The Clever Dragon
Back in the previous Destiny expansion, The Taken King, one rifle stood above the rest - The Grasp of Malok. It's arguably the best rifle during that time which can only be obtained via the Omnigul Strike. This weapon can deal massive damage in the Crucible thanks to its high fire-rate and low impact pulse.
And now, an almost identical rifle has been added into Destiny: Rise of Iron - The Clever Dragon. This item is only available during Iron Banner, which can be purchased through Legendary Marks (note: only when it's available in Lady Efrideet's inventory).
Also, The Clever Dragon can also be obtained through random drops upon turning in Iron Banner bounties or at rank 3 and 5.
