As a new Iron Banner event kicks off in Destiny 2 during the Season of the Deep, you can look forward to a fresh set of daily challenges, accompanied by the exciting Iron Banner Eruption mode. It should come as no surprise that these challenges require you to participate in Iron Banner matches while utilizing one of the three eligible Subclasses, including the brand-new Strand Subclasses introduced in Destiny 2’s Lightfall expansion. Completing these challenges not only rewards you with powerful Pinnacle Legendary gear drops but also grants an Iron Banner reputation multiplier, allowing you to rank up faster and earn more loot from Lord Saladin. Let’s delve into the details of this week’s Destiny 2 Iron Banner daily challenges.
How to Discover Destiny 2 Iron Banner Daily Challenges
In the ongoing Iron Banner event of Destiny 2’s Season of the Deep, you will need to fulfill an increasing number of Iron Banner matches while using a Strand, Arc, or Void Subclass for each daily challenge.
- Complete 3 Iron Banner matches using an Arc, Void, or Strand Subclass.
- Complete 4 more Iron Banner matches using an Arc, Void, or Strand Subclass.
- Complete 5 more Iron Banner matches using an Arc, Void, or Strand Subclass.
- Complete 6 more Iron Banner matches using an Arc, Void, or Strand Subclass.
Tracking Progress and Obtaining More Iron Banner Daily Challenges
With each Iron Banner daily challenge, your progress carries over, totaling 18 Iron Banner matches in total. To keep track of your matches played and your current stage in the Iron Banner daily challenges, follow these steps: Open the Destinations page, select The Crucible, and hover your cursor over the Iron Banner activity node. By selecting the Iron Banner node, you can not only view the rules for Iron Banner Control but also check your current Rank boost multiplier.
To acquire additional Iron Banner daily challenges, you will automatically receive a new one each day after the daily reset for the first four days of the Iron Banner event. It’s important to note that these challenges are labeled as ‘Weekly’ challenges and remain valid until the conclusion of the Iron Banner event on the following Tuesday. It may be a bit confusing, but rest assured that you can complete these challenges and claim their rewards on your other characters as well, as the Iron Banner daily challenges and their associated loot are character-specific, not account-based.
Claiming Rewards and Maximizing Rank Progression
Once you successfully complete a daily challenge in Iron Banner, your rewards will be promptly delivered. These rewards include a powerful Pinnacle Iron Banner loot drop, aiding you in reaching the current season’s power cap of 1810. Additionally, you’ll receive a 50% boost to your Iron Banner Rank gains, accelerating your progression. You can further enhance your rank multiplier by equipping up to 5 pieces of Iron Banner gear, which can consist of any Iron Banner weapon, armor piece, or armor ornament, along with an Iron Banner emblem. It’s worth noting that wearing an Iron Banner armor piece with a different Iron Banner ornament on top will count as two gear pieces toward the rank multiplier.
Make sure to visit Lord Saladin at the Tower to claim your rewards and Iron Banner Engrams as you ascend in rank. Excitingly, you now have the opportunity to obtain the new Pressurized Precision Strand Fusion Rifle and the reprised Swarm of the Raven Grenade Launcher. Additionally, you can utilize your Iron Banner engrams for Lord Saladin’s focused decoding, granting you access to both current and legacy Iron Banner gear. This is an excellent chance to acquire any previous armor sets that you may have missed out on.
