Banshee-44

"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. He can also reforge certain legendary weapons, resetting their stats while offering new perks and modifiers.

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.

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.

Reforging
Any weapon with the "Reforge Ready" perk 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.
