Previously, Bungie went over Iron Banner changes like rank reputation and the removal of tokens and bounties.
One of the biggest changes is the return of Crucible’s team-oriented 6v6 mode from Destiny 1 called Rift.
This sporty game has players take the role of the Spark Runner.
A single player from either team needs to grab the Spark from the center of the map.
A unique feature of Iron Banner is the Hunt.
Once the zones reset, the Hunt is over.
Rift will only be accessible during Iron Banner in Season 17.
Instead of the usual bounties and quests, there will be four days of challenges.
Bungie also said it will disable Power level advantage to allow new and low Power level players to compete.
Destiny 2 players can chase after an all-new Iron Banner Triumph Seal to become an Iron Lord too.
Iron Banner will only be active during the weeks of May 31 and July 12 of Season 17.
It’s set in the swampy Disciples Bog-looking area in Savathun’s Throne World.
The TWAB notes that this map will still be playable in other PvP modes.
It still involves combat, but only to defeat opponents to wipe the way and capture zones.
