Starting today and running until next Tuesday, Iron banner is returning to Destiny.
IB is a PvP mode where gear matters. Bring your best and highest level gear and weapons and partake in matches to raise your IB rank. Advancing in rank will unlock access to some pretty nice gear! On offer from the vendor this time around will be the IB hand cannon and rocket launcher, as well as light lvl 36 gauntlets and lvl 33 body. IB weapons generally have the highest impact of all weapons and can have the perks rerolled via the IB vendor behind the bounty board at the cost of 2 motes of light.
The match type is Control- there are also IB bounties to help raise your rank. Make sure you do the weekly nightfall to get bonus rep.
The temprered buff can be bought for one mote of light and will award you bonus rep per match. As the week goes on the buff will increase until you’re rolling in rep come the weekend where it offers over 50 percent more. Losing a match will award you a token which stacks up to five…these token are redeemed for rep upon your next victory so don’t be disheartened if your team loses.
Drops added to the end of match rewards include lvl 331 sniper rifle and auto rifle (can also be rerolled). Get into it!
