artifacts getting overhauled adding new abilities from iron lord "memories" such as
- removing sprint cooldown
- highlight guardians with full supers/low health
- deflect things using your sword (rockets/ogre's blast)
- reduce DoT effects
- lose your super but gain double grenade/melee/boost to stats
- keep radar at all times and when aiming with primary weapons (no suppression presumably)
- boost super recharge rate for allies
- melee low level enemies to make them fight for you for 30 seconds
still leaves two iron lords saladin and efrideet. We know where saladin is but efrideet apparently went missing so we'll see what happened to her
