Hi there, Guardians! The first Iron Banner of year 2 begins Tuesday, September 18th at reset with several changes, new bounties, and new gear to chase. Here's everything you need to know.

Game Mode: Control

Begins: Tuesday, September 18

Ends: Tuesday, September 25

This will be the first time in Destiny 2 that power matters in a crucible playlist. Therefore, pay attention to loadouts and power level to make sure you have your highest light gear equipped.

Lord Saladin will have seven weekly bounties for you to pick up and complete. All 7 bounties grant Iron Banner themed rewards with 2 granting powerful rewards. Lord Saladin will also be offering armor and two weapons with unique rolls for direct purchase after completing associated bounties.

A new-old map will be added to the rotation. The map Convergence looks to be an updated version of Pantheon from Destiny 1.

If you hoarded tokens from last season (I did) you can cash them into Lord Saladin for reputation.

"Simply finishing isn't enough if you want to reap the best rewards, Guardian. Prove yourself." - Lord Saladin

Allons-y!
