Iron Banner provides Destiny 2 players with an elite PvP experience that is available only during select times of the season. Here’s an overview of when the unique Crucible playlist will be live again and the rewards available during The Final Shape.
Originating from the original Destiny, Iron Banner has been a cornerstone of The Crucible for years, occurring just a few times each season. This limited-time PvP playlist gives guardians a refreshing change of pace.
In addition to unique rewards, Iron Banner features exclusive game modes not found in other playlists. Therefore, it’s essential to not miss out on these weeks, as the rewards are not frequently available.
Check the Iron Banner schedule to stay informed about when this PvP game mode will be active in Bungie’s renowned looter shooter.
When is the next Iron Banner event in Destiny 2?
Iron Banner is currently live as of September 10 and will continue until September 24, coinciding with the conclusion of Echoes Act 3. You can join in by visiting Lord Saladin in The Tower!
During this event, the first week will feature the Control mode, followed by Tribute in the second week. Note that Trials of Osiris will not be available while Iron Banner is live and will return after the event ends.
What is Iron Banner?
Iron Banner is a limited-time PvP game mode appearing twice each season, specifically during Acts 1 and 3. Each occurrence brings a unique twist on a standard Crucible gameplay style or even an entirely exclusive mode.
Gaining reputation in Iron Banner is distinct from other modes; players earn extra rank points as they participate in more matches, equip Iron Banner gear, and display the Iron Banner emblem.
