Destiny’s Iron Banner Control Returns on April 11th

PvP route to max light gear is near.

This week’s update from Bungie didn’t contain much information about Destiny 2, aside from hyping up the gameplay we’d be seeing on May 18th, but it did announce the return of Iron Banner. The game mode this time is Control.

Iron Banner will start on April 11th, 10 AM PST and end on April 18th, 2 AM PST. Items that will be sold through the vendor Lady Efrideet include The Unbent Tree auto rifle, The Proud Spire shotgun, Iron Banner gloves and class items.

Iron Banner is the end-game, 6v6 PvP component of Destiny where Light level matters. It’s also a great way to earn max Light gear thanks to the generous post-match drops and bounties.

The overall competitive nature of Iron Banner means that victories are pretty much necessary to rank up (though Medallions do drop with each loss, allowing you to cash them in for even more rep with the next win). What are your thoughts on it, especially with the next Age of Triumph raid coming on Tuesday? Let us know below.
