Iron Banner Returns In Destiny 2: The Final Shape–Here’s Everything You Need To Know
The first Iron Banner of the post-Final Shape era has arrived in Destiny 2, bringing a fairly significant change to the formula for a PvP event Bungie has included in the game for the last 10 years. For the first time, the usually week-long event will now span two weeks. It also brings some reprised guns back for you to chase, complete with new perks.
While the Iron Banner is pretty straightforward–it’s a 6-on-6 multiplayer event with its own set of rewards, reputation track, and Triumph seal–there are a few idiosyncrasies to keep in mind, particularly if you’re new to Destiny 2 or haven’t played in a while. Wearing and using Iron Banner gear offers some significant benefits, for example. Here’s everything you need to know about Iron Banner, how it works, and how to make the most of your time earning weapons and Pinnacle rewards.
New Iron Banner Format
First and foremost, there’s the new, two-week change that’s come to Iron Banner with the latest expansion. Iron Banner will now span two weeks rather than one, but each of those weeks will have its own game mode for you to play.
