Destiny 2 Forging Iron Quest Guide: How To Unlock All Iron Banner Steps Quickly

gamespot.com:

The Season of the Haunted brings changes to Destiny 2's Iron Banner, as well as a new seasonal quest to complete to walk you through its new systems. Starting this season, Iron Banner bounties are gone, and Iron Banner gains a new reputation system that's like those for other activity vendors, including the Crucible, Gambit, the Vanguard, and the Gunsmith. Completing the quest unlocks your ability to focus the event's new Iron Engrams into specific weapons and pieces of armor.

Lord Saladin will get you what you need to start unlocking new reprised Iron Banner weapons, The Wizened Rebuke fusion rifle and The Hero's Burden submachine gun. Here's how to complete the Forging Iron quest quickly and what new elements of the reputation system you need to know about to succeed.

This one's pretty obvious, and the good news is that you don't need to win. If you have old Iron Banner gear, however, you want to equip it now. You'll gain additional reputation points for using Iron Banner weapons and armor, and gaining more points now will get you ahead for later steps. Try to equip up to five pieces of gear, whether they be weapons or armor, plus an Iron Banner emblem to maximize your gains. Transmogrified armor counts in this regard, it should be noted, so you can use Iron Banner armor ornaments, rather than the actual armor pieces themselves, and still get the reputation boost effect.

Lord Saladin no longer offers Iron Banner bounties for you to complete during the course of the week of the event. Instead, Iron Banner now offers daily challenges, which you can see on the Iron Banner node on the Director screen. For this challenge, you'll need to knock out three matches, which will reward you with a Pinnacle gear drop.
