Destiny 2 Iron Banner challenges have arrived for the last event before The Final Shape, so this is your last chance to get some great loot from Lord Saladin for a while. You likely know the drill by now: Iron Banner challenges task you with completing matches in the week-long Crucible event in Destiny 2 while using any of the listed Sublclasses. For Season of the Wish, Stasis, Strand, and Solar are eligible, so make sure you use any of these to get some Legendary gear and sweet Iron Banner reputation multipliers as you complete the Iron Banner daily challenges.
How to find Destiny 2 Iron Banner daily challenges
As usual, for the Iron Banner daily challenges you need to complete matches using a particular Subclass, and for this event, completing matches using a Solar, Stasis, or Strand Subclass should be your focus:
- Complete 3 Iron Banner matches using a Solar, Stasis, or Strand Subclass
- Complete 4 more Iron Banner matches using a Solar, Stasis, or Strand Subclass
- Complete 5 more Iron Banner matches using a Solar, Stasis, or Strand Subclass
- Complete 6 more Iron Banner matches using a Solar, Stasis, or Strand Subclass
That’s 18 Iron Banner matches to complete in total. You can find out how many matches you’ve played for the Iron Banner daily challenges by opening the Destinations page, selecting The Crucible, and then hovering your cursor over the Iron Banner activity node. Select the Iron Banner node and you can check out your current Rank boost multiplier too.
You’ll automatically receive the next Iron Banner daily challenge with the daily reset for the first four days of an Iron Banner event – that’s from the Destiny 2 weekly reset on Tuesday to Friday. Confusingly, they are marked as ‘Weekly’ challenges and don’t expire until the end of the Iron Banner event on the following Tuesday, but it means you'll have all the challenges by the weekend. It's also important to note that these Iron Banner daily challenges and their rewards are character-based, not account-based, so you can complete all the above on other characters for more Destiny 2 Iron Banner loot.
Iron Banner daily challenge rewards
Playing Iron Banner matches should also get you plenty of Bait for Destiny 2 fishing.
Once you’ve completed a daily challenge, you’ll immediately get your rewards: a Pinnacle Iron Banner loot drop and a 50% boost to your Iron Banner Rank gains. Use up to 5 pieces of Iron Banner gear – that’s any Iron Banner weapon, armor piece, or armor ornament – and any Iron Banner emblem to boost your rank multiplier even further. I recommend wearing a piece of Iron Banner armor with a different Iron Banner ornament on top as this counts as two pieces of gear.
In terms of weapons, Lord Saladin is handing out the new Lethal Abundance Strand Auto Rifle, along with the reprised Point of the Stag Bow, Guiding Sight Scout Rifle, and Riiswalker Shotgun. Additionally, the Tusk of the Boar Grenade Launcher and Multimach CCX SMG have increased drop rates for this event. As for armor, the Iron Symmachy armor set is up for grabs for each class, which is an old Iron Banner set that hasn't been properly available for several years. Make sure you also collect any Iron Banner engrams to get random loot or spend them on Lord Saladin’s focused decoding to get any current and legacy Iron Banner gear.
