You can see what else is new in Destiny 2's update in our rundown on the 1.1.2 patch notes. The game mode this time around is Control. Destiny 2’s Iron Banner game mode is back, and Guardians can once again visit Lord Saladin in the Tower for its unique gear, but with a new twist.

This Iron Banner runs from now until the weekly reset on Tuesday, February 6. He also has five armor Ornaments that can be acquired by completing Challenges during Iron Banner matches. Saladin will sell three weapons and five pieces of armor during each event for a combination of Legendary Shards and Iron Banner Tokens. In addition to the usual means of acquiring gear, you can now directly purchase select items. One notable change for this instance of Iron Banner is how you earn rewards. You can see all of the new gear, including the weapons and armor Ornaments (for Titan, Warlock, and Hunter), in the gallery above.

Even without the DLC, though, you're still free to participate in the event and earn Season 1 gear. Additionally, there's a new emblem that tracks how many times you've ranked up with Iron Banner you can earn this by completing the Iron Banner Milestone (which requires playing 30 total Iron Banner matches during Season 2).īear in mind, the new gear requires that you own Curse of Osiris. Even more will be added during the next Iron Banner, but for now, you can expect to have a shot at a new hand cannon, scout rifle, shotgun, Ghost, Sparrow, shader, and ship. Iron Banner Engrams you receive from Lord Saladin can now have a variety of new items inside them, alongside those that were already available. Following the recent Faction Rally event's new set of items, now is your chance to acquire the just-added selection of Iron Banner gear. That DLC started the second season of in-game content, with each season bringing new gear to activities like Faction Rally and Iron Banner. Its release also marks the launch of the latest Iron Banner event, which is the first one to take place since Curse of Osiris debuted in December. One of Destiny 2's biggest updates so far is now available, introducing new elements to the game like Masterwork armor and Raid armor perks.
