Bungie’s Destiny: Banshee’s Field Test Weapons Coming Sept 9

Mark Noseworthy has revealed some new information on the game and upcoming updates via twitter






Activision Blizzard Inc.’s (NASDAQ:ATVI) Destiny has been in the spotlight for the past few weeks with the upcoming expansion for the game The Taken King set to release in a few days.

While the game is tipped to bring a host of new changes to the game’s system, the changes to our favorite gunsmith, Banshee has been one of the key highlights players are excited about.

With the big 2.0 update coming in today, offering a host of new content from the upcoming expansion to all players regardless of whether they have purchased the DLC or not, people had hoped that they could also start working in the new ways revealed with the Gunsmith and other vendors of the tower.

Turns out, this is not the case and players will have to wait a bit more until they can start earning reputation with the Gunsmith and use his Field Test Weapons. But it won't be much of wait as as the changes to the Gunsmith are going to come only a day later on September 9.

This news came in by way of Bungie’s Mark Noseworthy who revealed on this Twitter account that the new progression system will be available on the announced date. He also added that this will be the “exact date” when players can start earning reputation with him.

This move is made because of the fact that after the new changes that will be made to the Gunsmith, Wednesday is going to be the famous “Arms Day” which will allow players to participate in new challenges that will end up in better weapons rewarded. Along with that, the Gunsmith is also going to provide you with Infusion which will allow the guns you love to harness the power of other guns that you do not use. This will allow a player to use duplicate drops in other ways, instead of dismantling them straight away.

Destiny: The Taken King is set to release on September 15. The game is set to bring major changes to how almost everything works in the game and most of the changes will be implemented today with the big 2.0 patch.
