2’s a fab game, but beyond many quality of life improvements and an actual story to follow, players wanted something else: A reason to return and avoid going through the motions. Developer Bungie has been well aware of that potential weakness inside of Destiny 2, promising its fanbase that the next couple of years wouldn’t be a case of the social space gathering dust between the release of bigger expansions. At Twitchcon over the weekend, the team behind Destiny 2 outlined those plans.

Destiny 2’s multiplayer meta-game is still being explored, but if last week’s Iron Banner is anything to go by, then Uriel’s Gift is the most mainstream of machine guns that every serous Guardian is wielding right now. Tag team that with a MIDA Multi-Tool in your Kinetic slot, and you’ve got a setup that is perfect for any range of combat.

The Iron Banner has returned. Guardians, are you ready?

Bungie has announced that Lord Saladin’s classic showcase of the immortals will begin on October 10 at 2AM PT/11AM CEST, with the 4v4 action focusing on Control matches. Here’s a look at the gear that Guardians will be playing for.

Destiny’s Iron Banner event now has a new home thanks to the Rise of Iron campaign. And also a brand new host.

Bungie has announced that the crucible of crucibles will be back for a brand new week of Iron Banner action from October 4.

Bungie is testing some new online sorcery to make Iron Banner matches more responsive, fair and balanced. Which is the exact opposite of life itself.

With the Crimson Days having kicked off, Bungie’s massive open-world where you wait for stuff to happen has undergone a few changes again. Here’s some of what you can expect when you patch Destiny up.
