The Arms Dealer

Overview

The Arms Dealer is a Red War strike in the European Dead Zone, launched near Firebase Hades, for 1-3 players (original power 1050). The Guardian shuts down the ironmonger Bracus Zahn, a Cabal Legionary supplying weapons. Enemies are Cabal and Fallen.

Encounters

• Start room with an Anti-Barrier and an Unstoppable Champion on harder tiers.
• A ship section with two Goliath tanks and shielded Cabal.
• Final arena against Bracus Zahn, who summons turrets and retreats to an immune tower; clear adds and dunk the core during his phases.

Shield types scale with difficulty: none on Normal, Arc and Solar on Adept, Void on Hero and above.

Variants

The strike has been a Nightfall, including a Grandmaster Nightfall in Season of the Chosen (power 1325; strike-specific reward Shadow Price (Adept)), and was later revamped (see the Season of the Risen update guide on YouTube). Older Nightfall versions had a Power 300 variant with Anomaly and Prism modifiers tied to the Legend of Acrius Exotic quest, removed in patch 1.1.3. Details here come from several eras; confirm the current version in game.

Rewards

See the rewards list; the Nightfall can drop a Tilt Fuse sparrow.
