In Destiny 2, the Iron Banner has a release date in November 2017. This is the last chance to earn the Iron Banner badge from Season 1.
Next week marks the start of the second Iron Banner in the history of Destiny 2. PC players will enjoy this monthly PvP event for the first time.
Here are the key details about the Iron Banner in November:
- It starts on November 21 at 10 AM (Tuesday, during the Weekly Reset)
- It ends on November 28 at 10 AM, a week later
The game mode is Clash. In this mode, there are no additional objectives to fulfill; you just shoot each other.
What are the rewards in the Iron Banner?
By playing the Iron Banner playlist, you earn Iron Banner tokens. You can exchange these with Lord Saladin for Iron Engrams, which contain the special Iron Banner gear.
This is what the armor pieces look like:
You can also earn tokens through daily challenges.
Additionally, there is a seasonal milestone. If you master this milestone, you will receive the “Shadows of Radegast” badge:
This emblem can only be earned in Season 1, which we are currently in. Since the Iron Banner in November will be the last Iron Banner in Season 1, this is your last chance to earn the emblem. Bungie emphasizes this.
In Season 2, the Iron Banner returns with new rewards and new ways to earn them. It is already known that players will be able to purchase weapons directly from Lord Saladin and that there will be ornaments for the Iron Banner gear. Read more information about Season 2 here.
How do I participate in the Iron Banner?
The Iron Banner is a monthly PvP event that can essentially be described as an additional quickplay playlist with special rewards. Each event features a mode from the quickplay playlist (this time it’s Clash). The mode changes from event to event.
Here are the participation requirements:
- You must complete the story of Destiny 2 and have access to the Tower.
- Then visit Lord Saladin in the Tower. He is located on the building of the Gunsmith.
- Then start the Iron Banner playlist in the Crucible overview.
Further information:
- You will fight in teams of 4 against each other – a 4v4 like in all PvP modes in Destiny 2. In Destiny 1, the Iron Banner was 6v6.
- Power Level advantages are disabled.
- There are no Iron Banner bounties and also no rank – only Iron Banner Engrams.
- Normal matchmaking.
