Raid and Dungeon tiered weapons
From the 2/19 TWID~
This update is being changed and expanded to include [b]sizable quality-of-life updates[/b] and as a result, will also be renamed. This update will now launch on June 9, 2026. We will provide exact details closer to release covering previously announced [b]Weapon Tier Upgrading[/b], but also additions like [b]expanding Tiered Gear to all Raid and Dungeon activities[/b], Pantheon 2.0, Tier 5 stats for Exotic Armors, and more.
My mindset is that Tier 5s will really drop anymore. The new activity will be farmable for currency but will require tons of playing time. All I can say is, Banshee better be the vendor we go to for upgrading weapons.
Do you think all of the Raids and Dungeons will: (my answers in parenthesis)
Still be farmable all the time? (Probably)
If you have a current version of a weapon, will the tiered version of the weapon be considered unlocked for treasure chests? (Probably not. We will need to obtain these weapons again)
Every raid and dungeon have new gear on day 1? (No Way. I'm guessing something like 7 weeks of 1 dungeon and 1 raid released. Desert Perpetual and Equilibrium already have tiered drops)
How many new armor sets or origin traits? (I'm guessing 1 for all dungeons and another for all the raids. I really could not ask Bungie to create a new armor set for each location)
Will Tier 5s even drop? (normal mode drops 1-3 with a chance for 4. Master mode drops 4 with a chance for 5.)
Finally, which weapons are you planning to farm? (Any handcannon, everything from Shattered, Grasp, Vespers and Sundered. I don't really raid much.)

Dungeon weapons will be... but raid weapons are already craft-able now, so we'll be getting new perks/perk combos that we can craft to be "equivalent" to tiered weapons. Banshee will likely not be the vendor, since all crafting happens at the Relic on Mars. The "weapon upgrade" system is something entirely different that will allow you to upgrade your lower-tier portal weapons to a higher tier, by spending materials... this can probably be done while inspecting the weapon (like upgrading adepts) so probably no Banshee again :( All armor from raids & dungeons will be tiered, so I think you're absolutely right that they might "feature" a certain raid & dungeon every week, to drop the new tiered armor, instead of just making it all available all at once on June 9. I'm honestly a little worried about the armor. They mentioned new set bonuses for RaD armor... but raid armor already has an extra mod slot with mod options that are specific to that raid, like more damage resistance while holding a Brand in KingsFall, less time Drained of Light on Crota, etc... I still use old raid armor for Master runs & certain triumphs, so I dont wanna see those raid-specific perks get replaced with some generic set bonus like "auto rifles hold more ammo". Also... you're right that Tier 5's are not just gonna freely drop from normal mode RaD's. If normal mode EQ & DP only drop tier 3's , then we'll probably have to do legacy raids on Master mode to get tier 5's ... unless they plan on adding feats to the old RaD's ... tbh, this possibility is why I decided to chase all the raid titles NOW lol
