More data mining uncovers the new raid weapons that will drop from the Wrath of the Machine raid inDestiny: Rise of Ironand reveals the new raid perks.
The newest raid coming toDestiny, called Wrath of the Machine, isset to launch on Friday. It will be a few days after the launch of the Rise of Iron expansion, which will give players enough time to grind up tothe recommended 360 Light level to enter the raid.
But ahead of the raid’s official launch,Destiny’s online database containing Rise of Iron’s new items (including some new exotics) has revealed what fans can expect from Wrath of the Machine’s raid weapons and armor.Bungie has already shown off the raid armorand some foundry weapons modified with the expansion’s SIVA virus look to be the raid weapons. Looking at the unique perks of these weapons, there definitely appears to be reason to grind out the raid to gain them.
It should go without saying, there will be some spoilers ahead regarding the weapons in Wrath of the Machine. All of the raid’s weapons have a special intrinsic perk that pairs with a more common perk, but makes these weapons unique. Here are some of the unique pairings that could be quite powerful:
All the weapons also have the perk Whirlwind’s Curse: “This weapon does bonus damage against Fallen. Bonus Agility when this weapon is equipped.” That should come in handy for the raid as the main enemies players will fight are Fallen, and the raid has been described asa fast-paced experienced with a lot of action.
The primary weapons do not possess elemental damage,a design that Bungie has moved away fromsince The Taken King in order to increase weapon variety.
Wrath of the Machine launches Friday, September 23rd at 10 a.m. Pacific Time.
Destiny: Rise of Ironis available September 20th on PS4 and Xbox One.
