"There are few weapons that Banshee-44 has not seen, and fewer still that he cannot fix."
— In-game description

Banshee-44 is an Exo Gunsmith, located within the Tower. He sells weapons and ammo synthesis items for Guardians.[1] He can also reforge certain legendary weapons, resetting their stats while offering new perks and modifiers.[2]

Biography

As with all Exos, Banshee-44 has no recollection of his former functional purpose. In fact, he may have had his memory wiped multiple times, more than forty by his own reckoning. Still, he has some faint recollections of his past. Following reactivation, Banshee-44 made his way to the Last City, setting up a shop selling guns and ammo synthesis packs to Tower Guardians. At some point he was an active duty soldier, and saw action in the Twilight Gap.[1]

Banshee-44 exhibits a somewhat depressed mood, likely lamenting about his wiped memory banks, but also shows a dry sense of humor. Like every other NPC, he regards players depending on their class.[1]

Inventory

Banshee-44 has a rotating stock of weapons available, from Common to Rare in quality. He also sells consumables for players to give them some much-needed help in firefights, such as ammo synthesis, which refills ammo for a weapon, or weapon telemetries, which speeds up upgrade progression.

Item Price
Ammo Synthesis 100 Glimmer
Special Ammo Synthesis 250 Glimmer
Heavy Ammo Synthesis 950 Glimmer
Any Weapon Telemetry 250 Glimmer and 5 Weapon Parts

Armsday

Players can gain reputation with Banshee by accepting weapon challenges. Banshee offers a selection of five random experimental weapons to test in the field each week. So long as the player is at least level 38 and has room in their inventory, the player can take as many as they want. These weapons act as their own bounties, requiring use under a specific set of conditions. Upon completing the bounty, the weapon will automatically grant +250 Gunsmith reputation and can be dismantled or kept for future use. Test weapons and their possible challenges include:

At a high enough reputation level, Banshee will allow players to purchase with 2500 glimmer (as opposed to Legendary Marks) a legendary weapon that will arrive on the next Wednesday with randomized perks.[3]

Reforging

Any weapon with the "Reforge Ready" perk (mostly House of Wolves and Iron Banner weapons) can be taken to Banshee-44 to have its perks and elemental modifier (if any) randomized, at the cost of resetting upgrade progress. This costs one Mote of Light, 3 Weapon Parts, and 250 Glimmer.
