Destiny 2 Iron Banner COUNTDOWN: armour, gear, weapons and start time

The Destiny 2 Iron Banner was officially unveiled by Bungie, complete with changes and start times.

As confirmed by the development team, The Destiny 2 Iron Banner will return this week on PS4 and Xbox One.

The release time has been set for Tuesday, October 10th, at around 2am PT / 10am BST.

It will finish at the same time on October 17, giving fans a whole week to grab the loot they’re hoping to earn.

Bungie have also confirmed that a few changes have been made from the original game, both in how you earn gear and how you battle in competition with your fellow Guardians.

vCard QR Code

vCard.red is a free platform for creating a mobile-friendly digital business cards. You can easily create a vCard and generate a QR code for it, allowing others to scan and save your contact details instantly.

The platform allows you to display contact information, social media links, services, and products all in one shareable link. Optional features include appointment scheduling, WhatsApp-based storefronts, media galleries, and custom design options.

Destiny 2 Iron Banner will include two teams of four players instead of five, while your fighting abilities, not your power levels, will decide the outcome.

Bungie have also replaced Bounties and Ranks with an Iron Banner Engram, while Iron Banner Tokens are earned in every match.

Guardians earn more Tokens if they are on the winning side, which can be used to grab more engrams.

For those who are itching to compete, you must first complete the Destiny 2 campaign, which will then allow you to meet up with Lord Saladin in the Tower to begin the Iron Banner Quest.

Guardians will be able to fight in the Iron Banner playlist with Quickplay modes and matchmaking, hopefully grabbing some good loot on the way.

New Iron Banner armour and gear is up for grabs for the best Titans, Hunters, and Warlocks, while Bungie have confirmed weapons will also be included.

Announcing the news, Bungie said: “The Red War scattered the heroes of humanity across the solar system. 

“One by one, they have been returning to the City. Now, Lord Saladin will hold court and reward the brave.”

The game for the first Iron Banner in Destiny 2 will be Control.

Bungie had previously confirmed that Iron Banner will return to Destiny 2 in October.

However, until this week the exact date for the return of the week-long PvP event was unknown.

In the Bungie blog post, they also revealed pictures of the armour set Guardians will be able to get their hands on.

And as expected, it will have a distinct Samurai feel to it.
