When the Destiny maintenance ends today, the Iron Banner event playlist will be accessible in the Crucible from October 7 – 14, where it is not balanced at all and your level determines success.
Bungie issues this message to anyone wishing to play in the Iron Banner:
You are invited to enter the Crucible for a limited time event that will test your power as a Guardian. The ratings on your gear will make all the difference! Unlike the other competitive playlists in Destiny, Iron Banner is not a level playing field.
Bring your deadliest weapons. Equip your sturdiest armor. The Iron Lords are seeking out the most powerful warriors who call the City their home. For those brave enough to fight (and to win), there will be new rewards to serve as a warning of their prowess in the arena.
And here’s what you need to know about Iron Banner:
