Once again, an Iron Banner has passed in Destiny. We look at the drop chances compiled by a reddit user.
In the last Iron Banner, a user kept track of the chances for good loot during this event. His result: About every 9th match resulted in an Iron Banner drop.
At that time, we wondered whether the chances for certain items were simply bad, or if they might be buggy. Now the same user has diligently noted everything once again. He played 301 matches and arrived at the following result.
You can find which items dropped for him and how frequently in this table:
Chances for Iron Banner items increased – albeit barely noticeable
In the previous Iron Banner, he had 34 Iron Banner drops in 300 matches. This time it was 46, which means 12 additional items. Additionally, he had received ten more legendary engrams than last time. The chances have indeed increased a little, but they are still far from satisfactory. Especially the PlayStation exclusive gloves were scarce.
- According to his calculations, the Iron Banner post-game drops increased by 4%.
- The chance for legendary engrams grew by 3.4%.
- The PlayStation exclusive gloves were so rare that they were nearly nonexistent. Overall, he saw only four of them.
Warning: These are not universally valid findings, but are based on “only” 301 matches. Since Bungie does not release its own numbers, this is likely the best approximation of a statistical drop chance we have.
