Make your Hunter look like Batman with new armour in Destiny: Rise of Iron

Destiny-Batman

It used to be that just about every match in the Destiny Crucible was filled with more Hunters than a fully stocked fridge during summer. The Guardian of choice for anyone who wanted to dominate the Crucible, Hunters were everywhere before Bungie decided to finally knock them down a few pegs. “When one class becomes the default choice for anyone who wants to do well in the Crucible, we see that as a problem,” designer Grant Mackay wrote a few weeks back on the Bungie blog.

We chose to bring the Hunters down from their position of dominance because it is our hope that every variety of Guardian will have a fighting chance.

And now, we’re in a position where Hunters are most likely the least-played with Guardians around as Rise of Iron creeps closer. Hell, my own Destiny account is testament to that. While my Titan and Warlock builds are scraping the 300 mark when it comes to light levels and maxed out skill trees, my Hunter has basically been left to rot with its paltry 167 light level. And that’s a shame, because visually, the Hunters have the best look in all of Destiny.

Rise of Iron is out in a few months, and it has some sparkly new gear coming with it. For Trials of Osiris regulars, that carrot on the stick has resulted in some new armour that’ll make you toss daggers like an Egyptian and look like a spiffy Anubis-influenced version of the Batman in the process. Check it out:

Hunter armour

Aw yeah, that’s what I’m talking about, although I can’t tell if this armour is blue and gold or white and black. To get your hands on this gear, you’ll need to be damn good at the weekly Trials of Osiris so that your win streak results in a trip to Mercury to claim your prize. Rise of Iron launches on September 20 for PS4 and Xbox One. And if you’re busy settling back into the Destiny groove as I am right now, you might want to try your hand at completing the year two moments of triumph.

          To be honest, I cannot stand Pokemon. But just from general browsing, I know far too much about it. Especially now that GO is such a craze.

            A pity that some of the GO things aren’t in the sea…

            We’d sort out quite a bit

            At least GO is helping cleanse the Darwin pool in some cases

            I foresee a special category introduced in to the Darwin Awards especially for the GO “players”.

            What lesson, that if you don’t look left and right before crossing a road you’ll never be able to catch em all.

            I’m pretty sure natural selection is going give us a few funny stories to tell about the idiots roaming about with their phones.
            As if people aren’t glued to those little devices enough as it is.

    White PowerRanger was the first thing that came to my head.
