Iron Banner Gear too low

Why the hell is iron banner gear so fraking low defense and attack, its hard as shit ti win a match in the iron banner so why would it be such a low level, i find blue items with higher defense and attack, thats just outragous, i get better rewards out of packages from the vngaurd with 299 light guns this is a joke, as i collector especially with iron banner gear, i would love to have my gear atleast worth while playing iron banner for, not gear thats lower than what i already have. Plus there are people out there that only play crucible so its not fair to them and to the people that cant get good or smart enough raid teams to do the redicoulously hard Kings Fall raid with ludicrously crap rewards 95% of the time, please fix this bungie....... Also there is no buff for the iron banner to help level it up easier......explain this Please dont do this for Trials of Osiris also. thanks

  • As to your comment about 'don't do this for Trials of Osiris', the gear you get we get as drops for winning/losing matches is 280 light. Whats also worth noting is when someone found out about this and posted a thread about it, not long afterwards did Bungie remove the items from the armory for view to the public... I smell damage control mode.

  • My problem with banner is why is the cloaks bonds etc. Vangaurd rep and not crucible rep ? Banner is crucible.

    • Personally my problem with iron banner is the drop rate after the matches. Like wtf where is the gear that I was promised to drop or did you just mess up the rng bungie

    • Drop rates, maybe...but you can infuse everything. You say you work for it but you're playing a video game, and it drops randomly, or you spend marks you got playing a video game on it. No hard work, no earning it, the work is in dedicating yourself to infusing it. Do it to it brothah, it's more satisfying.

    • Sorry but no, the levels are perfectly fine as is. Raiding is the only defined endgame activity in Destiny and thus should be the only source of the highest tier gear.

      • Rank 2 I got the bond at 298 light, I'm at rank 3 1/4 just got the side arm at a lame 280 light. I've only ever seen 3 other drops.. That said. The gear is to low also when buying. Can easily lvl up with raid gear by whyyyyyy. Whyyy bungi ?!

        My only problem is the reward rates. I haven't seen anyone get Iron Banner ANYTHING in like 11 or 12 matches. It doesn't make sense since Bungie had said at one point, "We want the rewards to be the primary way to get Iron Banner gear now..." If this is truly the case, why not increase the drop rates kinda like the legendary drop rates were for awhile in the regular Crucible? I got so many Matador 64's and Party Crasher +1's back then it was silly. I think they should have done it like that.

      • In year one iron banner gear was raid level. It makes no sense that it is not now.

      • Reminds me of queens wrath where the rewards where those blue weapons. Everyone's already outgrown them. It's not that big a deal as light level doesn't matter for regular PvP, but it would a much more exciting event if the rewards where 300 light.

      • Should be sold as 290 min. But good chance of dropping higher.

      • Seriously if we grind IB for days to get to level 5 AND have to spend 150 legendary marks why the hell isn't the gear at a higher level??? Really 280 attack weapons? why not at least 290. Why not at least 300 defense armor??? If not higher values why not make them cost less legendary marks? 150 or whatever it is, is way too much. I know we can earn about 45 a day but due to infusing i am burning them up very frequently. if the nightfall offered better rewards, like 50 or 60 marks for instance, this wouldnt be such an issue. -TMMargosiaN1983

        The problem is that Bungie is giving away gear at the Tower at 280 light. They have been doing it since day one. Vanilla, you could get to lv29 [u]buying[/u] your armor, then 31 by buying it during TDB. HoW was worse as all you had to do was beat lv32 PoE once a week per character and you'd be lv34 with no Etheric Light needed in a month. In my opinion, Tower gear should be sold at a lower light level.

        • Just play the Iron Banner, the buff is there it's just auto-applied and invisible (I *think*). You might get iron banner gear drops with higher light levels than what's being sold

        • The reason I choose not to do iron banner this week.. Rewards aren't worth the grind. All my year one iron banner gear is junk now.. This crap sold will eventually be garbage too (even though it already sort of is for anyone above 290 light.

          • Does anyone know for sure (not they think) the light level drops are? I am trying to figure out if it's worth the grind. Why get to rank 5 for a 284 chest piece I don't need? I have raid gear but I'd like other legendaries at 300.

          • With the recent weapons parts nurf (& it feels like armour materials nurf too) Iron Banner should be a way of ranking up, gear should drop player's light level +9 but cap at 309

            The drops are good. Light 300 gear drops. Probably after rank 3 though

          • It's because if the did drop it at 305 or 310 everybody would have high light level. It's understandable why bungee didn't put it up. Anybody can get the gear if they just play.

          • Gotta say Bungie dropped the Balm on this one. Would have been way better if the drops ranged from 280 to 305 but nope. Just garbage I won't be playing Iron Banner this week as there just isn't any rewards. Fail.

          • 280 would be great for ppl just starting the game... but most of us aren't just starting and IB is supposed to atleast somewhat resemble end game content. GG Bungie

            • It's called infusing bro 😂. Let's say you like a perk on the weapon or armor. Infuse weapons on it. Not that hard lol. Do a strike get about 5 engrams a match. Your welcome.
