In Destiny 2, the first Iron Banner of Season 2 is drawing to a close. What will happen to your previous progress?
Since the second season, there are several ways to earn “Iron Banner” rewards:
- The standard way: You play Iron Banner matches, earn Iron Banner tokens, and redeem them with Lord Saladin for Iron Banner engrams. These engrams contain special weapons, armor pieces, or cosmetic items.
- Additional tokens can be earned through daily challenges and Iron Banner milestones.
- A seasonal milestone grants an exclusive emblem when you achieve a more complex goal (play 30 Iron Banner matches).
- With enough tokens and Legendary shards, you can buy Iron Banner gear directly from Lord Saladin.
- And when you reach certain goals, Iron Banner ornaments are unlocked with Lord Saladin, allowing you to customize your Iron Banner armor.
On February 6 at 6 PM, the first Iron Banner of Season 2 ends. What happens to your Iron Banner tokens and the progress on ornaments then?
Progress will carry over to the next Iron Banner in Season 2
The community manager Cozmo answered these questions a few hours ago via Twitter. Many Guardians want to know right now if their Iron Banner progress will reset for the next Iron Banner.
Cozmo’s responses:
- All Iron Banner tokens that you do not spend now will be available again at the next Iron Banner in Season 2. In other words, if you don’t like the current rewards, you can save the tokens until the next event.
However: The official Bungie site mentions that you should redeem all your Iron Banner tokens before the Iron Banner ends with the weekly reset. Some doubt whether Cozmo is actually correct with his statement.
- The progress for the ornament goals will carry over to the next Iron Banner. You will need to win 25 Iron Banner matches or achieve enough melee and grenade kills in Iron Banner to obtain specific ornaments in Season 2. If you haven’t reached these goals now, you can still complete them in the next Iron Banner.
- For the Season 2 milestone, you also have the entire season’s time to achieve it. If you haven’t completed the 30 Iron Banner matches, you can catch up in the next Iron Banner.
What goals do you still need to achieve in Iron Banner in Season 2?
