FAQ

What is the Iron Banner?

  • Iron Banner is a 2-week-long Crucible event in Destiny 2 that offers its participants unique rewards. More info can be found in the official Destiny 2: Iron Banner Guide.
  • Iron Banner offers unique versions of other Crucible game modes, such as Control and Rift. The current game type can be found by viewing the activity details in the director or looking at the modifiers.
  • Iron Banner uses outlier protection matchmaking.

How Long does Iron Banner last?

  • Event begins: Tuesday at Weekly Reset (1700 UTC).
  • Event ends: The Tuesday 2 weeks later at Weekly Reset (1700 UTC).

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!

Never forget what was lost. While the API protests have concluded, Reddit remains hostile to its users.

Can anyone confirm if this IB is also 2 weeks? I was told this one might be 1 week and want to know if I need to grind tomorrow

Changed my plans because of this post (that says it's 2) but felt the need to confirm today and everything else seems to say it's only 1? Returning after a while so haven't played IB in a few seasons and also wondering...

I just found this 12 hour-old post on the Destiny Instagram:

"Today is the last day of Iron Banner as part of Destiny 2 Year 7.

Claim your engrams and triumphs before tomorrow's weekly reset."
