Bounties are kinda difficult this time around

So, here are some preliminary impressions of the Iron Banner:
-Using my BLUE auto rifle it will take a split second longer to take down 26+ level players. Actually, it almost feels balanced.
-The games aren't filled with 27 and up players exclusively. As of right now, they're probably a third of what I've seen. Point is, it's just like any other crucible match.
-Don't worry about the really high level guys. It's not like if their grenade touches your pinky toe you will die, you won't be one shotted through the hand, they're not walking around with mytho cast whatever bullshit. Take it easy.
I have a blue auto rifle(and invective, if I ever remember to switch to it. I average like 2 shots fired a match) and my defense rating is 1152(I just snuck over the bar for level 27, all legendary, not a single ass shard spent). So don't cower in a corner, last match a level 6 guy that was on my team mistakenly kept shot gunning me in the face, it was fine.

I'm a level 29 and half Hunter.. Fully upgraded everything.
I guess, I'll give it a shot..
It usually takes a while to take people down in normal Pvp with the Suros.
I'll get them down to 10% health, and they usually die or find a way to duck into a corner.
I suspect that won't be the case in Iron Banner
Not if you headshot, which is what the Regime is king at with the slow rate, lmg style clip and the sticky auto aim.
Stupid, stupid gun. I love using my hand cannon but I'm so glad I bought it for when I'm not feeling particularly accurate.
Shanks are Solar.
Grim Citizen III. Warlock's melee feels really strong too.

Ok thanks, I didn't know there were different missions for it. I got one on Venus. Guess I'll try again later.
It worked perfectly for me and my friends.
Yes it is.
Anyone up for iron banner on XB1?
Makes sense, something they should of done with the Queens rep too.
And still no matchmaking for daily and weekly because if we can solo them, they will be too hard with randoms.

Also just won with a level 9 on my team lol. He had a .25 K/D.

Really? It worked for us. When you start getting shot just back up all the way back and you can't get hit.

Is there an XP Chart at all? I was doing the Get 9000 XP without dying bounty and was wondering if there was anything in particular that gives you a lot.
I just cheesed it and went to Earth to do it so only checked a few enemies.
Shank/Dreg = 20 xp
Vandal = 35 xp
Captain/Reaver Vandal = 55 xp

DO you go in after the boss comes out or before? We went in before and the captains just wrecked us.
Easiest nightfall ever.
Tips.
1. Snipe everything down until the boss. (You have to snipe or you will got one shot by hopgoblin.
2. Snipe/rpg everything then the boss will appear.
3. Stay at the entrance area and the boss will stuck at the opposite side of the cliff. You have to go out of cover a bit to shoot him.
4. Kill everything that come to kill you quickly because most of them do elemental damage and can kill you in no time.
5. Fire the boss whenever you can.
6. Enjoy your reward.

You have to take out the captains first and right when the priest is about to come out hide under the ledge.

Second highest score twice in a row in a crucible match.
With blue auto rifle and shotgun at lv 27.
Doesn't feel much different compared to normal matches.

Okay, will try that. Arc snipers worked really well for us most of the nightfall. One shot on everything except the minotaurs.
That made it a lot easier, thanks for the info.
Just cleared it with my team under the ledge. You can go all the to the back and stand up in the sloping ground. You will not fall to your death.
While your under the ledge stick to machine guns. I learned that the hard way when I tried to shoot a rocket while under there lol.
Feels the same to me to, just running around 1 shotting players with my fusion rifle.
Hey man, if you could shoot me and invite? PSN is Sedai, got a mic and everything but I'm level 26.

Yes
yeah. 29 and 20% or something like that.
One shot weapons won't feel any different. What will are sutained fire weapons like ARs.
A level 30 with a fully upgraded Regime vs a level 15 with a Shingen will probably be a done deal if head on, for example.
Right?

Hey mate let me know if you want to take on the Raid again. I'll be on pretty much all evening when I get home as I want to try the Iron Banner too.

best cheese spot is the entrace to the boss area. you have high ground, lots of cover, nothing behind you, and you're close to revive. somebody can sit up top with a sniper while the others poke their heads out to do damage.
just watch out for the ships.

Dropped out of four games in a row now. One of which I was top of the roster by far. Screw this I'm doing nightfall.

Added you for nightfall

I only have Super Pox VLO and Atheon's as primary. I gues they suck in IB so i'm not even trying. I'll buy shadow price today though, but it won't be specced yet.
Will a fully upgraded Light/Beware with Armor Piercing buff work?

it also feels a lot less like "cheating" lol.
I wouldn't call that cheesing, but the best tactical spot. Cheesing is standing somewhere you can't get damaged while you whittle down the boss.
Nothing wrong with playing it smart!
