This Week’s Destiny 2 Newsletter Highlights New Events, Seasons, And Fan-Made Videos

destiny 2 iron bannerThe Iron Banner, one of the original Destiny game’s most popular features, is making a comeback in Destiny 2. The week-long PvP event will run from October 10th at 2AM PT until October 17th at 2AM PT and will be a bit different from the original Iron Banner event.

What’s different?

  • Combat will be between two teams of four players
  • Your fighting abilities, not your power levels, will decide the outcome
  • Bounties and Ranks have been replaced with an Iron Banner Engram

How can you compete?

  • Complete the Destiny 2 campaign – the only way to reach the Tower
  • Visit Lord Saladin in the Tower to begin the Iron Banner Quest
  • Fight in the Iron Banner playlist with Quickplay modes and matchmaking

What’s in it for you?

  • Earn Iron Banner Tokens in every match (earn more if you win)
  • Daily and Season* Milestones that track your progress to glory
  • Claim brand new armor wrought in the forges of the Iron Lords

If PvP isn’t your cup of tea, you’ll be happy to know that Bungie will also be rolling out what they call “the ultimate PvE challenge” in the form of a new Prestige Raid on Tuesday at 10AM PT. The studio also teased Seasons which they’ll be talking about on October 20th at TwitchCon 2017.

To wrap it all up, the newsletter shines the spotlight on Help.Bungie.Net which, according to Bungie, “is the central resource for any player who seeks the answer to a question about how to play Destiny,” and the best fan-made videos of the week. You’ll find those right after the jump. You can also check out the full newsletter here.
