Bungie has not been afraid to rethink, remix, and overhaul portions of Destiny 2<\/em> over the past five years, and one aspect of the game that\u2019s getting a substantial refresh is Iron Banner \u2014 the fun, more casual side of Crucible PvP. For season 17 of Destiny<\/em> 2<\/em>, Bungie is changing how Iron Banner plays, both in terms of how rewards are doled out and the core game mode it\u2019s built around.<\/p>\n

One of the bigger changes: Bungie is disabling power levels in Iron Banner in order to, well, level the playing field. (Power level will still be active in Trials of Osiris, Bungie notes.)<\/p>\n

Iron Banner players will also get a new place to play, in the form of a brand-new map called Disjunction \u2014 the first brand-new map for Destiny<\/em> 2<\/em> PvP in about two years \u2014 set \u201cin the swampy Pyramid area of Savath\u00fbn\u2019s Throne World, so expect lots of many-butted horses, transparent brown glass, and art deco designs,\u201d Bungie says.<\/p>\n

Season 17 of Destiny 2<\/em> will see the return of Rift, Destiny\u2019s rugby-with-guns PvP mode, to replace Control in Iron Banner. And Bungie says it plans to switch out the Iron Banner game mode every season, noting, \u201cSometimes it might be a brand new or returning mode, sometimes it might be an interesting twist on an existing mode.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iron Banner is also getting new daily challenges, dropping Iron Banner tokens, and getting a new reward track, among other changes. To acclimate players both new and old to Iron Banner, Saladin will offer players a new, mandatory quest to explain the PvP mode\u2019s new features.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou only have to run through it once per account, but with this reset we wanted everyone to get the same introduction, even Iron Banner veterans will need to do this,\u201d Bungie said. \u201cIn fact, you\u2019ll need to start this quest to even access the Iron Banner node.\u201d<\/p>\n

Season 17 of Destiny 2<\/em> will go live May 24. More details on upcoming changes to Destiny 2<\/em>\u2019s Iron Banner mode and its new Disjunction map are available in Bungie\u2019s weekly blog.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
