The Heresy-era Iron Banner brings some of the strongest god roll chases Destiny 2 has seen in months. With Season of Heresy winding down, this is one of your last chances to grab exclusive PvP tools and PvE monsters—some of which are brand new or returning with best-in-slot perk pools.
Iron Banner Is Live: Dates and Details
Table of Contents
Iron Banner is back from April 29 to May 6, 2025. This limited-time PvP event only appears twice per episode, so don’t miss your shot at unique game modes and reward-focused progression.
How It Works
Iron Banner differs from traditional Crucible in several ways:
- Power level is disabled – your gear doesn’t give you an edge.
- Rank points increase based on the number of Iron Banner gear pieces and emblems equipped.
- Match completions, wins, and streaks help you level faster.
This week’s mode has not been officially confirmed but follows the usual pattern of rotating in exclusive variants or twists on existing Crucible formats.
Top Iron Banner Weapons (April 29 – May 6)
Here are the standout weapons available to earn or focus at Lord Saladin using Iron Engrams + Glimmer:
