Hero’s Burden is an Iron Banner SMG, and one of the best void SMGs available in the game. Today I am going to take a closer look at Hero’s Burden, check out the stats, the perks, the god rolls to chase for PVP and PVE, plus how to get Hero’s Burden in Destiny 2.
How to get The Hero’s Burden
To get Hero’s Burden you’ll need to play Iron Banner. It’s available as a random drop from Iron Banner matches at the end, and also if you open up Iron Banner engrams. You can also focus your Iron Banner engrams at Lord Saladin in the Tower, when Iron Banner is on and he’s available. You can also level up at Lord Saladin in the Tower and Hero’s Burden is available as a rank up reward this season.
