Where do I go to find Guardians to game within the Iron Banner?

  • You can use the in-game Fireteam Finder or head over to /r/Fireteams, www.The100.io, Xbox LFG system, DestinyLFG.net or DestinyLFG.com, or go to the Bungie.net recruitment forum (also available through the Bungie App).

What if I have a question about another piece of armor/weapon or general Iron Banner question?

  • Use Control + F (Or Command + F if on a Mac) and search for keywords in your question. Someone may have asked it already. If not, ask below in the comments.

How to earn Iron Banner Rewards

  • Complete Iron Banner matches to earn Iron Banner Reputation. This reputation awards Iron Engrams and unlocks various rewards along the Rank Rewards track.
    • Earn bonus reputation by equipping Iron Banner gear or ornaments, an Iron Banner Emblem, and completing Daily Challenges.
    • Iron Engrams can be focused at Lord Saladin into a weapon or armor piece. Items must already be unlocked in Collections to be available for focusing.
  • Complete Daily Challenges to earn Pinnacle Gear and boost your Reputation multiplier. These challenges are visible when hovering over the Iron Banner playlist in the Director.
  • You have a chance to get randomly rolled Iron Banner gear at the end of matches.

Archie wishes you a happy reset and good luck!

It was announced in the newest TWID that its going on hiatus for now.

''When The Edge of Fate launches on July 15, Iron Banner will be on hiatus for a time. After centuries of non-stop work, Saladin will be taking a well-deserved break and will return with his PvP game mode to the Tower in September, when the Ash & Iron major update arrives''

Yeah, I just googled and saw that. I thought it was the last IB for good, lol! Hopefully, they don't ruin it.

It might be a controversial opinion, but I wonder if Iron Banner could include a PvE mode so I can earn the gear without pissing people off by getting on PvP casually. The Iron Lords wanted to reclaim the Earth. Give us that option. I wouldn't care if PvP offered a better chance for Tier 5 gear. Maybe a special high difficulty patrol in a specific zone.

This would be cool with a PvPvE patrol zone, king-of-the-hill style with two teams and a lot of PvE enemies. Fight to see who can survive and control the hill the longest while being battered by other guardians and reasonably difficult enemies
