Competing in the Iron Banner is worth it for hardcore PvP players and even some PvE mains. Some of the best PvP weapons in Destiny 2 are tied to this playlist, notably the Riiswalker Shotgun. And for PvE mains, The Hero's Burden SMG should be on your radar. Let's go over what Iron Banner is, how Iron Banner Ranks work, the rewards tied to this mode, and we'll give a brief overview of how Rift works in Destiny 2.
Iron Banner is a PvP playlist that appears twice each season. When Iron Banner is active, Guardians can farm the Iron Banner playlist to earn Iron Banner reputation with Lord Saladin at the Tower—this event's vendor. Completing games will grant exclusive weapons, armor pieces, and even a title if you complete enough Iron Banner Triumphs.
Gameplay-wise, Iron Banner is effectively Control or Rift with a second reward track. Participating in this playlist will increase your rank with Saladin and Shaxx, and you'll be able to earn Iron Banner and Crucible loot each game. As for gametype additions:
Iron Banner is available twice each season, the first event occurring during the second week. Players can farm Iron Banner for the entire week it's active, and Iron Banner does not override any core PvP playlists. With that said, Trials of Osiris will not occur while Iron Banner is active.
