- "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 sell legendary weapons that arrive on Armsday, if the player has earned enough reputation by testing weapons for him.
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]
Services
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
At reputation level 1, 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.[2] For each reputation level, Banshee-44 will allow players to purchase another weapon for armsday, as well as increase the number of roll options for Armsday. For example, at rank 3, a player can purchase 3 weapons, and when armsday comes around, they have three different choices per weapon for what modifiers they want.
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.
Exotic Weapon Quests
Banshee plays an important part in acquiring multiple exotic weapons.
Back in the Saddle
At rank 2, Banshee-44 will have a Quest for a class-specific legendary special weapon. This must be completed to enable the exotic weapon quest. Hunters receive Stillpiercer, Titans receive Immobius, and Warlocks receive Susanoo.
Upon reaching Gunsmith rank 3, Banshee-44 will offer the player a which will reward one of three Exotic weapons depending on the player's class. Hunters will receive Ace of Spades, Titans will receive Fabian Strategy, and Warlocks will receive Tlaloc.
Imprecation
At rank 5, Banshee-4 will have a new quest. He will require the player to get kills with Hand Cannons while a telemetry is active. Then the player has to wait until Armsday to pick up a field test weapon called Imprecation. They must infuse the weapon, get kill sprees with it, and then precision kill sprees. They must then wait for another Armsday delivery to get The First Curse.
Reward: The First Curse
Sleeper Simulant
To trigger this quest, players need to find and collect four "Dark Age Relics" that randomly drop from Major and Ultra enemies; the relics appear as Legendary Fusion Rifles (labeled "DVALIN-RAS8711-FR00x", with the "x" being a number between 1 and 4) that are added to the Mission items section of the player's inventory. These items can be given to Banshee-44 for 200 reputation each.
Currently, it is unknown how to trigger the subsequent steps of the quest, as Banshee-44 provides no quest or additional information after the last relic is turned in. It is speculated that the next stage may involve a secret area in a specific Daily Heroic Story mission (as obtaining Black Spindle did), or reaching Gunsmith rank 4 or 5.
Reward: Sleeper Simulant
