Banshee-44 wants to give you a weapon stored in his workshop, but he didn’t specify how to get in. Locate the hidden entrance to Banshee’s workshop and find the weapon.Your first task is to locate the that Banshee-44 set up somewhere in The Tower.
As many of you know, part of the quest for the Legend of Acrius involves a level 300 Nightfall-type Arms Dealer strike. The modifiers are prism and time warp anomalies. The key to the strike is to take your time, kill the adds and get all the anomalies.
When you land, head towards the hanger to your right. From here, go up the scaffolding stairs to the network of catwalks directly on your left when you enter this room.
Follow the path all the way around until you are facing the catwalks about the stairs with the Future War Cult banners. You’ll find a new door open in this lounge that leads you behind the kiosk. Go through the open door, follow the hall until you reach the storage room, climb onto the shelf, and exit through the air vent in the ceiling.Follow the vent until you reach the very end and enter the second circular pipe on your left. This will put you in a massive air vent which you will need to carefully climb up. Once you’re at the top, exit via the air vent in the wall and follow the path to reach Banshee-44’s Hidden Workshop. Go See Banshee-44.
You need a rotating keycode to access the Bow in Banshee’s workshop, but the original has been lost. You’ll have to generate a new code following the same steps that Banshee did.
First on Banshee’s list is to get out into the field to seed a key generator with combat data. Seed data for a new keycode by completing Gambit matches or Vanguard strikes. Gambit Prime matches and Nightfall strikes grant the most efficient progress.For this step, you will need to complete either Strikes or Gambit matches. Unless you are playing with a group, we strongly suggest going into Gambit Prime. This is the fastest activity of the four you can participate in, allowing you to quickly increase your progress. You will earn 35% for completing a match and winning so it only takes three games to finish this step.
Additionally, make sure to grab some bounties from the Drifter so you can earn experience and raise your Season Pass rank. Kill Vex or Cabal With a Bow. The key generator is seeded with viable combat data, and it can now output keycodes but to constrain the possible set of generated codes, Ghost says you’ll need to provide the generator with some more targeted data. Use a Bow to land precision final blows against Vex or Cabal.This step is quite easy since it requires you to just land precision final blows against either Cabal or Vex. We recommend using a Legendary bow for this step, as weapons such as Le Monarque deal a significant amount of splash damage.
If you want to farm the Vex, just load up the Vex Offensive and start laying waste to this mechanical menace. However, we find the Cabal easier to farm since they won’t protect their crit spot as frequently. Head to the Castellum on the Leviathan and start slaying the endless wave of Cabal that is pouring out by one of the key ports. Beat an Epic Reprise of The Arms Dealer Strike. BungieThe key generator needs just a little more data before you’re ready to return to Banshee for final authentication. To further limit the possible codes the generator can create, you’ll have to recreate the conditions under which Banshee programmed the first codes: fighting Red Legion forces during the Red War. Complete an epic reprise of strike “The Arms Dealer” in the European Dead Zone on Earth.The final part of this quest tasks you with completing a reprised version of the Arms Dealer strike.
While the increased difficulty does add a new layer of challenge, this shouldn’t be too difficult if you’re using a coordinated team. Make sure to have either a Titan bubble or Warlock well to help increase your damage and take down the boss quickly.Once you finish this quest, you’ll will need to head back to the Tower, speak with Banshee-44, and then go back to his workshop to unlock the Leviathan’s Breath bow.
Destiny 2‘s weekly reset has begun, and players are back in the thick of it completing their quests and getting a series of things done to earn higher level gear to raise their light level. There’s also a new exotic quest available from Banshee-44, called Make Bows Not War. You can check out our guide about how to start it over here. There’s a specific quest step in it called Economics of War, where players need to complete a specific strike. Here’s what you need to do during this step.
Destiny 2 – Make Bows Not War – Economics of War Strike
You’re going to receive this quest step following the completion of Advanced Safe Cracking 201, where you were killing Cabal or Vex with precision strikes using a bow. That quest step is relatively open-ended, allowing players to explore the galaxy to find the best locations to kill either enemy. The Economics of War quest step, though, is far more specific.
To do this quest, return to Orbin in your ship and go to the Destinations tab. From there, you need to return to the European Dead Zone on Earth. You’re looking for the strike located in the middle of the map on the left side called The Arms Dealer. You can take a fireteam with you to complete it, or you can let the game matchmake you with other Guardians. Although, you’re going to want to be around light level 900 to properly compete in this strike, which means you’re going to need to finish the main story in Shadowkeep to jump in.
However, this is misleading. The new strike is challenging, and you’re going to want a team with a light level of around 940 to 950 to beat it. Make sure you bring some well-equipped friends on your fireteam.
Jump into the strike, and you merely complete it. There’s no time limit or unusual for you to do while you play it. You need to do it from start to finish successfully, and then the quest should update.
However, completing the quest is no easy feat. You’re going to find this strike a high degree more challenging than average. The beats remain the same. You’re going to attack a Cabal base and run after Bracus Zahn. After you chase him, you’re going to face him a huge boss battle. He’s a tough nut to crack, with several phases. When you go up the elevator to engage him, he’s going to call down several orbital strikes. These red beams are going to damage you while they charge, but then they fire they’re going to deal even more damage. Avoid these and keep moving around the field.
During the battle, when you get him nearly at the end of the bars of his health, he’s going to teleport to a platform and fire sniper shots at you. Hit him from a distance, and then he’s going to fire a flare into the air and get a shield around him. Shortly after this, a dropship is going to fly in and remove a barrier from a small molten core, which you need to grab. Have you or one your teammates grab it and dunk it in its respective exhaust port. You’re going to need to do this twice, and then take out Bracus.
Finishing this quests turns the Make Bows Not War quest in your journal change to Applied Cryptosecurity and has you return to Banshee for the final part of the Exotic questline.
