To participate in the Iron Banner while the event is available, players must: For information on the weekly reset, players should visit the Destiny 2 Ritual Reset Guide. When Iron Banner is available, it will begin at the weekly reset and remain active until the following weekly reset. While active, the Iron Banner activity can be found in the Crucible node of the Director. For information regarding the availability of upcoming Iron Banner events, players should look for announcements on Bungie’s News page. What this ultimately means is that you as an individual don’t have to rise to the highest rank or play as many games as possible, because your clan will be working with you in order to earn cumulative rewards.Iron Banner is a week-long Crucible event in Destiny 2 that offers its participants unique rewards. Bungie will be discussing this more as time goes on, but for now it’s important to be aware that you’ll be part of a larger whole with Iron Banner from now on.Ĭurrently Clans can work together, completing different events within the Destiny 2 director in order to earn weekly rewards for all clan members. Each season affects an entire clan, and sounds as if it will be something a clan can work towards to earn progress on their clan banner. Now however, all that is gone and it’s down to a Guardian’s skills alone that are going to make the difference between them being victorious or lying in defeat.Ī new feature coming to Destiny 2 Iron Banner is Seasons. In Destiny 1 it was a chance for players to show off their biggest and baddest weapons, all of which would have the highest Light level and allow them to be better than all inferior Guardians. The lack of a level advantage or disadvantage takes away a lot of what the Iron Banner represents. In Destiny 1 you had a damage buff or de-buff if you were a couple of levels above or below your opponent. The key difference between Destiny 1 and Destiny 2 Iron Banner is that there is no advantage to gear Power Level. This week’s Iron Banner match is Control, which has been boiled down into 4V4 matches as with all Crucible matches in Destiny 2. Finally if you check out the Warlock armour it is undoubtedly inspired by Japanese samurai, that helmet alone is enough to make me want to grind for days on end. Hunters have an individual look, nothing that you could place in history but it does bear small resemblances to both the Warlock and Titan armours. The Titan gear looks to be themed around Norse mythology and viking culture, judging from those horns and massive shoulders. As you can see the armour you can earn this week is pretty crazy.
