Gunsmith Rank

"Think you can handle serious hardware? Prove it."
—Banshee-44

Complete Gunsmith bounties to increase your reputation with Banshee-44.

Players can increase their rank with Banshee by completing his daily bounties, or by dismantling weapons and armor items. Daily bounties give 65 points each when completed and claimed. Dismantling Legendary and Exotic gear gives 6 points of reputation for each weapon or armor item dismantled. Rank is tied to the player's account, and carries over between characters.

Each rank will reward a Gunsmith Engram, stored on Banshee's vendor screen, which can either be decrypted into foundry weapons from the engram's loot pool or focused into specific weapons in the Focused Decoding sub-menu. They have a maximum capacity of 99, and will disappear at the end of the season if not used. Gunsmith Engrams can also drop from Lost Sectors (with solo completions on higher difficulties with Platinum ratings granting improved chances), and from chests in patrol zones.

Players will stop gaining reputation points after completing rank 16. Gunsmith Rank can be reset after rank 16 is completed, allowing more reputation to be gained. The player's rank will be reset automatically at the start of the next Season.

• Legendary weapons — 7,000, 30 each;
• Upgrade Module — 5,000, 10, 1 Enhancement Core.

These weapons were originally obtained from quests that were removed from the game and added to the Destiny Content Vault. They only appear in Banshee's inventory if their paired Exotic weapon is unlocked in Collections.

• MIDA Mini-Tool — 2,500, 35 (requires MIDA Multi-Tool).

Featured Weapons

Banshee sells 5 randomly selected weapons each day, listed in-game under "Featured". It would normally be expected that the weapons would change at the daily reset: 10:00 AM PDT/9:00 AM PST (17:00 UTC). However, as recent as the Season of the Wish, the weapons actually change at 5:00 PM PDT/4:00 PM PST (0:00 UTC) instead.

Each Featured weapon will correspond to a specific weapon type (e.g. Auto Rifles). The 5 weapon types remain the same for the duration of the current season.

The weapon types currently being sold during the Season of the Wish include:

• Combat Bows;
• Fusion Rifles;
• Hand Cannons;
• Pulse Rifles;
• Rocket Launchers.

Weapons listed below that are marked with this icon have Weapon Patterns and can be crafted. They can drop with Deepsight Resonance when purchased from Banshee. Deepsight Harmonizers can also be used on these weapons.

Focused Decoding

Gunsmith Engrams can be earned by increasing one's rank with Banshee, or as drops from Lost Sectors or patrol zone chests. They can be focused into specific foundry weapons with random rolls. This includes SUROS, Häkke, VEIST, and Omolon weapons released from Season 16 to Season 19 that were removed from the World Loot Pool. Alternatively, Gunsmith Engrams can be decrypted from the vendor screen to reward random drops from the same loot pool. A weapon does not need to have been unlocked in Collections to focus it.

Each day, only two foundries' weapons will be available for focusing. At the daily reset, 10:00 AM PDT/9:00 AM PST (17:00 UTC), one foundry will rotate out while another will become available, giving a two-day window to focus a specific foundry's weapons. Currently, it is not possible to see which two foundries are available for focusing outside of the game, such as through the Destiny 2 Companion app or using third-party tools, requiring players to visit Banshee in person to find out.

The foundry rotation for the Season of the Wish is the following:

• Day 1: Omolon, SUROS
• Day 2: SUROS, Häkke
• Day 3: Häkke, VEIST
• Day 4: VEIST, Omolon

Focusing a weapon costs 3 Gunsmith Engrams and 5,000.

Weapons listed below that are marked with this icon have Weapon Patterns and can be crafted. They can drop with Deepsight Resonance when purchased from Banshee. Deepsight Harmonizers can also be used on these weapons. However, players can also unlock all of these weapons' patterns for free by completing certain quests from the Relic Conduit in the Enclave, found on the Savathûn's Throne World map. These quests are available to all players, and do not require owning The Witch Queen expansion.

Notes

• After the launch of the Season of the Haunted, Banshee's vendor screen animation changed from him crossing his arms to him holding a copy of Telesto.
  • The Telesto could randomly disappear, causing Banshee to hold an invisible gun. This was identified as a bug by the developers.
  • There were also reports of crashes from players when interacting with Banshee after this update.
