I've seen discussions and videos stating that the Iron Banner is ONE big lie, including that weapon and armor stats don't matter. So, I decided to test this. I used the Cydonia-AR3, an uncommon auto rifle, for this experiment. I'm a Lv29 Hunter. For my control experiment, Crucible : Control. [b]Results:[/b] [i]Headshot: 32 Body shot: 22[/i] Then, I went to play the Iron Banner, and check if there's was any difference. Surprisingly, there was! [b]Results:[/b] [i]Headshot: 28 Bodyshot: 19[/i] Later, in battle with another fellow player, I dealt more damage than usual. I was bewildered by this new outcome. Next time, I decided to pay more attention on the level of the player that I was fighting against. I did discovered something. It appeared that I dealt more damage to low level players. [b]Results against a Lv25 Titan[/b] [i]Headshot: 29 Bodyshot: 20[/i] [b]Results against a Lv20 Warlock[/b] [i]Headshot: 30 Bodyshot: 21[/i] [b]Results against a Lv13 Hunter[/b] [i]Headshot: 32 Bodyshot: 22[/i] I know that range plays a role here, but after dealing 28 damage to a Lv28 Titan in close range, and 32 damage to a Lv13 Hunter in mid-range begs to differ. In my conclusion, weapons stats don't matter, but level does. I believe this what it means by Level Advantage Enabled; damage depends on the level of the player you're fighting against, I think. I will do more testing, and will post the results later. As of now, happy hunting! [b]As a side note:[/b] Yes, they're rewarding legendary weapons and armor in the playlist. I earn the Timur's Lash, hand cannon, as a reward for winning a match in 2nd place.
