FYI: Red Border guns from Banshee-44

[Nakos]

Just as an FYI, I just got a rank up package from Banshee-44 that was an Ikelos 1.0.3 Shotgun that had a red border and was able to progress the pattern.

I suspect that it's pretty rare, but ... it does seem to be possible that you can get them from him.

ikelos 1.0.3 are craftable weapons so its normal a red border of these can drop. bungie said that non-craftable weapons wont ever dropped a red border version anymore. that's what I understood and so far it's what I can see.

As I understand it, that's normal. They stopped the red borders on items that can't be crafted, and you don't get material from them, only progress in getting the pattern.

[Nakos]

Well, fair enough, but I've seen people asking, and I got one, so ... yes, it does actually work in S20.

The big question was if red borders for past seasons would drop. That proves its possible.

OK, cool, I expected it, but proof is a good thing.

Thank you, Nakos. That is interesting news. People were asking about that last week.

No, this doesn't prove it's possible. It only proves that Banshee can drop red borders. Until someone gets it on a seasonal weapon, that still is up in the air.

At least for Ikelos weapons, don´t think I saw other old seasonal weapons as drop so far.

You could say the Ikelos V1.0.3 are seaonal, the V1.0.1 and V1.0.2 can't be crafted and the V1.0.3 came from season vendor and activities.

[Nakos]

Yeah, I'd say the Ikelos v1.0.3's count as "Seasonal".

They were released for the Season of the Seraph, and they were available from the Seraph vendor.

nice. had all my patterns done so i wouldnt be able to see this happen. nice to see its not completely impossible to complete those weapons from the past years seasonal content. gonna be a hell of a grind though if its only through banshee engrams

I can confirm that you you can't buy something like the ikelos smg from xur and get red borders. You can only get the base role version from xur and with no red border.

Seasonal weapons within Destiny is a term that applied to a specific set of weapons released within a given season. For Seraph that was the stylised Foundry weapons like Disparity and Retrofit Escapde. The IKELOS weapons were available through the vendor but were also available to all players just like the Menagerie re-issues from Haunted, they were added to that season as they were thematically appropriate but as you noted are only really "seasonal" in when they released.
