Destiny 2 Season 17: Everything we know a week before launch

Bungie have adapted their way of Destiny 2 storytelling by dividing each chapter into seasons. Each season plays out a particular arc within an expansion, which leads to the company releasing a new story, usually at the end of four seasons.

The vendor's reputation will change from exchanging tokens to focusing on Iron Engrams. Anyone can pick up their favored Iron Banner weapon by playing matches and completing bounties. Starting Season 17, all Iron Tokens from a player's inventory will vanish.
