Now I know what y’all are thinking “What the hell?”
I’m talking about that beautiful flaming axe from D1’s final DLC. The Axe that made the Siva Splicers cry from gazing upon it within a guardians hands.
I personally would LOVE to see this weapon return as more than a finisher you can only get during an event.
This weapon was SO fun to use and decimating many enemies with it was “DEEELIGHTFUL” - my boi Shaxx.
So here is an idea on how to encorporate it back into the game as a more permanent and available option. You know what I’m gonna say, a new Exotic Heavy!
Think about it, the weapon would function like before minus the ammo return upon kills (unless you wanna do that every other powered kill perk). When powered it bears the flames until the heavy attack is used, in which they extinguish and begin to recharge. Now 100 ammo like it had out in the world in D1 would be a LITTLE extreme. Drop it at the typical 50-60 range and maybe make the powered heavy attack cost your normal 3 ammo, or if it’s power attack we’re THAT strong then 5.
“Well how would you acquire such an exotic?” Good question!
Personally I wouldn’t mind seeing another Iron Lord focused DLC in which somewhere in there is an exotic quest or a RAID you have to complete for it.
If no DLC than there would be no better place than the good ol’ iron banner. An exotic quest, maybe a little more difficult than your normal iron banner quest, but with the time crunch. The rush to complete the objectives before Saladin walks his old ass out of the tower, otherwise you are stuck until he returns.
But back to the quest idea! It would be like how we obtained good ol Gjallahorn in D1’s final DLC. A quest line that ultimately ends in an epic battle for survival until it finally rest within your hands and you wage a one man war worthy of legend!
Or a Raid! But simply completing the raid, no complicated puzzles or side quest where the final step is some BS secret within the raid, NONE OF THAT! Granted I do like a good puzzle but AIN’T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT CRAP!
Hell it could be the starting point on a new line of heavy weapons all together, AXES! I’m just saying a sword is nice and all don’t get me wrong, but there is something about the brutality of an axe that takes my breathe away.
Just some brain candy, hope y’all enjoy the idea! Also if you LIKE IT, blow this post up! Get it out there, get it to the point Bungie see it ALONG with all of your guy’s ideas and opinions on it!

If I keep seeing “boi” I’m going to get sick.

The thing is, I suggested this like [url=https://www.bungie.net/de/Forums/Post/235575404?sort=0&page=0&path=1]3 years ago...[/url]

Or have 3 axes appear at the bases when the hunt starts in Iron Banner. They would work just like in Rise of Iron and last until the hunt ends.
-
It might be better for just a season.
-
There's already a decimating battleaxe in the game it's the crownsplitter for titans it's a god damn monster at damage lol
-
I loathe ib
-
I like it, Battleaxes. But there might be unbalanced if it was for all classes. What if bungie made that for only titans. Hunters would probably have daggers that have special and heavy and warlocks would have heavy, metal spears.
-
I've always wanted the Iron Axe as an exotic heavy. God i would never take it off........
-
Or just buy the Solstice finisher… [spoiler]I’m joking[/spoiler]
-
Is that the one from the public event? I used to love seeing people take it and run away with it. People would get pissed about that.
-
I need this in my life.
-
It already came back as middle tree hammer.
-
I already made the axe part of my guardians story. Did it in a way that is really unexpected but it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary. The moon is a mysterious place after. But no if the axe was brought back it would have to be a power weapon instead of a relic pickup. I’m sorry I really didn’t read your post so I don’t know how you want it back. All I know is it was a great weapon but very underwhelming as usual with anything that bungie does.
-
If it worked in D1, Bungie will most likely break it in D2. Their track record literally shows this so I say stop asking for things that used to work or were fun becase that is not what you will actually get.
-
That would be really really cool
-
My god i want my axe back it is the coolest weapon in all of destiny history and I’m a sword main so you know I’m never un equipping this
