On Tuesday evening, the Iron Banner, a PvP event, went live in Destiny. However, it is not working as it should. The rewards are significantly delayed, and there are also “Anteater” errors.
Normally, one would think that with the x-th version of the Iron Banner, hardly anything could go wrong, but that is not the case. Since 7:00 PM, the Iron Banner has been active and complaints are increasing across all platforms, whether PlayStation or Xbox: There are no “rewards” for the matches. It does not matter if you lose or win; the rewards just don’t come. And that’s what players are in the Iron Banner for.
At the moment, it seems that the rewards are available, but with a significant delay. Sometimes they appear during the next match – or players receive them when they switch to a new zone in Destiny.
These “Don’t worry, it’s just delayed” comments are, as often, relatively difficult to filter out from the many complaints that only lament about not getting anything at all. Therefore, one does not know whether the rewards are delayed for everyone or if some are actually playing “for nothing.” It may therefore be advisable to postpone the planned Iron Banner game for now.
Bungie is working on the Iron Banner issues

Meanwhile, the complaints are increasing that players are being kicked from the game with the “Anteater” error code… This is also a problem that only Bungie’s technicians can help with.
Malicious tongues might say that this is the revenge of the karma gods for the repeated exploitation of the Iron Banner glitch in Destiny. Now it’s not the Guardians who are glitching the Iron Banner, but the Iron Banner glitching the Guardians. But surely no one wants to hear these malicious tongues now, especially not those whose mood is currently ruined by the bug.
