In Destiny the Iron Banner will take place in November. The rewards will go up to level 320 this time.
The last Iron Banner was a disappointment. It was quite buggy, there were too few rewards, and they had low light values. Destiny announced that this would be fixed, there should be more items and also better ones.
Now the first players have reached rank 5 with Lord Saladin and indeed: In the packages now fresh at rank 5, there are items that correspond to the hard mode raid level. So they go up to values of 320.
Additionally, there is a new Iron Banner ghost shell.
How the Iron Banner works, we explained in this article. It’s important to complete the bounty quests and to wear the reputation items. The Iron Banner ends on Tuesday, November 24th, at 10:00 AM. Oh yes, and this time it will be contested in the Conflict mode.
But for now, it should only be about the rewards.
What is in the new packages?
At rank 3 Lord Saladin gives the first package. Here is a rare artifact with 310 light included, plus 4 light shards and 4 strange coins.
At rank 5 there is then the “big” package. Here, Guardians can pull an Iron Banner ghost shell with values between 310 and 320 and a random item from the Iron Banner gear between 310 and 320. Class items, helmets, legs, the pulse rifle, the scout rifle, the sniper rifle, and the rocket launcher have already been confirmed. Almost anything can be included.
The Iron Banner in November is worth it if you bring characters to rank 5.
What does Saladin sell, what are the normal rewards?
Details about the gear and the bounties can be found in this video from our partners ProNDC:
- At rank 1 the emblem Iron Pride – for 1000 Glimmer.
- At rank 2 the shader Millions Millions for 1000 Glimmer.
- At rank 3 there is a chest armor for each class that costs 40 legendary marks and has 280 defense value.

What rewards can drop in matches?
The actual reward should no longer be bought but earned. What you receive at the end of an Iron Banner match in Destiny depends on your rank with Lord Saladin and chance:
- At ranks 1 and 2, the armor that Lord Saladin sells can drop.
- At rank 3, the armors and the weapons that Lord Saladin can sell may be included.
- At ranks 4 and 5, there is a chance for the armors and weapons that Saladin can sell, and the ghost shell.
The weapons and armors range from 280 to 310. The ghost shell is at 310-320.
