Destiny 2 Iron Banner schedule: When is Iron Banner next live?

Iron Banner offers Destiny 2 players a unique PvP experience that is only around at specific times of the year. Here’s when the Crucible playlist will next go live and what rewards are up for grabs.

Dating back to the original Destiny, Iron Banner has been an important part of The Crucible for several years. Only showing up a handful of times per year, the limited-time PvP playlist offers guardians something a little different.

Not only are there unique rewards to gather, but Iron Banner also has exclusive game modes that can’t be found elsewhere. To avoid missing out, use this Iron Banner schedule detailing when the PvP game mode will next go live in Episode: Revenant.

When is the next Iron Banner event?

Iron Banner will return on November 26 in Revenant Act 2. This was confirmed by Bungie in an update on X/Twitter after the game mode was initially expected to return in early November.

The first half of the event will be Control, before the mode switches to Tribute in the second week. While it is live, Trials of Osiris will be put on hold and not return until after the event concludes.

What is Iron Banner?

Iron Banner is a limited-time PvP game mode that appears twice per episode. Each appearance offers a unique twist on an existing Crucible game mode, or even a unique mode entirely exclusive to Iron Banner.

Gaining reputation in Iron Banner differs from other modes with additional rank points earned as you play more games, have more Iron Banner gear equipped, and have the Iron Banner emblem active.

The main appeal of Iron Banner is the unique weapons you can earn as drops or focus using Iron Engrams. These cannot be earned anywhere else and have been known to creep into the meta, making them particularly desirable.

New Iron Banner weapons

When Iron Banner returns in Revenant Act 2, two new weapons will be added to the loot pool: Archon’s Thunder and Tinasha’s Mastery.

Archon’s Thunder is a reprised Machine Gun that has received an entirely new perk pool, having last featured way back in Season 14. While it used to be a Solar weapon, Archon’s Thunder has now returned as a Stasis weapon, which is fitting given the focus on Stasis in Episode: Revenant.

Tinasha’s Mastery is a brand-new Rocket Sidearm and the first ever Stasis weapon in the archetype. With Rokcet Sidearms performing so well in the PvE meta and this getting access to Chill Clip, this newcomer is a must-get weapon that you definitely want to farm.

When Iron Banner returns in Revenant Act 2, a repised weapon, Archon’s Thunder, will be added to the loot pool.

When Iron Banner returns in Revenant Act 2, a new weapon, Tinasha’s Mastery, will be added to the loot pool.

This gun’s possible perk rolls can be found below:
