Uh, all my Iron Banner challeneges disappeared after completing the first 2? And the drop rate for Engrams is atrocious? I've had 1?

[u/rafaelmalheiros → u/Dangerous_Dac]

You get a pair of challenges each day for four days. If you play on weekends, you can complete all challenges at once.

[u/Lightning4747 → u/Dangerous_Dac]

Huh weird. So none of the challenges are completed? Do they have progress for any?

As for Engrams - make sure you're wearing an IB emblem, 5 IB gear (weapons count too), and complete the challenges that you'll see if you hover over IB in the director.

[u/Dangerous_Dac → u/Lightning4747]

I'm doing that, I have the armor set on, i don't have an Emblem I guess, but I completed the first 2 challenges (Complete Games and Run an Arc/Solar/Void/Strand subclass) but It says I've only completed 1 of 5 challenges and theres no new ones showing up. The IB Node is just blank with no golden shields showing.
