Iron Banner — a tentpole of Destiny 2 PvP — is an event that appears regularly throughout the year, and a useful source of Pinnacle gear for those looking to boost their Power level.
In this Destiny 2 guide, we’ll tell you everything we know about the confirmed Iron Banner schedule, and what to expect from the next event.
When is the next Iron Banner event in Destiny 2?
Iron Banner is next appearing for two weeks across November and December, between Tuesday, Nov. 26, to Tuesday, Dec. 10, starting and ending at the usual weekly reset time.
If you thought this was originally scheduled for Nov. 5, you would be correct — until developer Bungie issued a correction that it would begin towards the tail end of the month.
What is changing in the next Iron Banner?
The event will debut the new Iron Intent armor sets, as well as two weapons — the Tinasha’s Mastery stasis sidearm, and Archon’s Thunder stasis machine gun, with the following perks and stats (copied verbatim from Bungie.net):
- Tinasha’s Mastery (Stasis Rocket Frame Sidearm)
- Column 3: Air Trigger, Offhand Strike, Deconstruct, Enlightened Action, Impulse Amplifier, Loose Change, Reverberation
- Column 4: Adagio, Bait and Switch, Chill Clip, Desperate Measures, Frenzy, One for All, Surrounded

- Column 4: Desperate Measures, Onslaught, Headstone, Killing Tally, Tap the Trigger, Target Lock, Rewind Rounds
Finally, know the first week of this Iron Banner will be focused on Control, and the second on Tribute.
