As with previous seasons, the limited-time Destiny 2 Crucible event offers a chance to earn event-exclusive gear and weapons - and builds upon the reputation system established last season. This page covers the Iron Banner schedule for 2022 and how the new Iron Banner boosts system works. On this page:
Destiny 2 Iron Banner schedule 2022
Bungie has outlined the following Iron Banner schedule for Season 18, which runs until November 2022, starting and ending at the usual reset time:
Week 1: Tuesday, 6th September to Tuesday, 13th September Week 2: Tuesday, 15th November to Tuesday, 22nd November
As with last season, there are only two Iron Banner appearances due to Saladin’s “increased responsibilities on Caiatl’s war council”, according to Bungie. In both weeks, it’ll feature the Eruption mode, which is “Clash with energy boosts based on kill streaks”. Fingers crossed you’ll get a good Allied Demand along the way. It’s December, which means the return of The Dawning and Moments of Triumph 2022! Elsewhere, the Season of the Seraph is here alongside More than a Weapon, Seraph Key Codes and Resonate Stems and the addition of Rose in Crucible. We’ve also seen a new dungeon, Spire of the Watcher, with has a chance of Hierarchy of Needs dropping upon completion. Earliear this year we had the arrival of King’s Fall and King’s Fall challenges, plus weapons including Doom of Chelchis and Touch of Malice. For The Witch Queen, learn how to get Dead Messenger and Parasite.
Destiny 2 Iron Banner reputation boosts list
With Iron Banner only running twice this season, Bungie has introduced ways for you increase your reputation through a series of boosts: As well as the above, know that:
For the Iron Banner gear boost requirement, all five pieces must be equipped (as Gear or ornaments) for it to take effect. Each match will see you “earning more towards” reputation, according to Bungie - suggesting the more you play, the more the default reputation earned will be. Wins will earn you a “small bonus based on your current Iron Banner rank”.
Note if you’re after the new Seal and title, Bungie says it will take “15 to 20 hours to unlock” - and you have both weeks in the season to do so. Enjoy this year’s Iron Banner!
