Faction Wars:
PVP Event
This event will run in a similar rotation to Iron Banner, 1 week. Tuesday to Tuesday however, the content will be different.
In order to enter this event will need the following:
Faction Emblem
Faction class item
As there are no Shaders or ships to purchase then best leave to the above two.
Once you have entered your desired faction then you will only be able to use their gear.
The selection takes place before the match starts and you spawn in.
Although there is only a small selection of weapons and gear currently in the vendor, you actually get to use all the other available gear, my reasoning is that some weapons just aren't as good from one faction to the next.
(I'm sorry but the prestige IV isn't as good as the Deviant, however the Vanquisher is probably the better of the available Auto's).
BOUNTIES:
The bounties will work a little differently from Iron Banner but not completely.
I want to introduce progressive bounties and team based bounties to achieve.
Here is the idea setup
1 Team bounty and 6 regular bounties, each rotation will change daily for regular bounties and every two days for team based bounties.
Tuesday/Wednesday Faction Bounty
Earn "Lockdown" medal
Regular Bounties Tuesday:
Kill X guardians of New Monarchy
Kill X guardians of Dead Orbit
Kill X guardians of FWC
Achieve 20 Headshots (any gun)
Win 3 Matches
Melee 10 Guardians to death
Regular Bounties Wednesday:
Kill X guardians of New Monarchy
Kill X guardians of Dead Orbit
Kill X guardians of FWC
Earn 50 Assists in Crucible
Defeat 5 Guardians with Grenades
Defeat 15 Guardians with Rockets
Thursday/Friday Faction Bounty
Earn "Strength of the Wolf" medal
Regular Bounties Thursday:
Kill X guardians of New Monarchy
Kill X guardians of Dead Orbit
Kill X guardians of FWC
Win 3 matches in Faction Wars
Defeat 25 Warlocks in Faction Wars
Achieve 20 Headshots (any gun)
Here's the issue though, there are only 2 team bounties that I know of for Control. So I'm a wee bit stumped.
MATCHES
Here is where things get different compared to iron banner.
When you enter a match you will be using armour and weapons from your selected Faction, regardless of whether it's currently being sold or not.
To make things a little more balanced, there are no perks on weapons. This should help eliminate the perfect shotgun or sniper perk roll.
REWARDS
The current crucible reward system is broken and, it's one of the few reasons I don't play it, it's just not good enough. No excuses bungie, we need it fixed either way.
This system will be much like running ROC strikes, you are guaranteed rewards.
You will receive Reputation for your faction, you will get 2 blue engrams, 1 crucible weapon from the crucible loot table and maybe a chance at something better? Legendary maybe?
This idea is working progress and I can see this being difficult to make inside Destinys current system, but I still enjoy thinking about this.
Let me know what you think and add your own ideas too!
I would probably run
Red Hand IX (Never used it before)
Prudence II (Quick firing sniper rifle)
Admonisher? (Prestige is about as accurate as an automatic No Land Beyond)
What would you run?

And have a couple of times heard randoms on my team get killed by an enemy wielding one and declare "OHMG he's using a Red Hand."... I've never heard that about a Venation III/The Chance. The Only AR I personally see as equal to the Vanquisher is a good Shadow Price. For Special New Monarchy simply has the best PvP systems. From a Shotgun with just a hair less base range from Felwinter's with triple the RoF, a Fusion with the highest Stability among them all, or the Sniper that has a higher RoF than Praedyth's (ESPECIALLY with Perfect Balance). It's no contest. Heavy will be their sore-spot, but a Monarchy wo/man can hold their own with our Rockets... I'll be damned if we don't have one damn fine Launcher given you've either Field Scout/Tripod.
