Bungie has confirmed that a new high-level Iron Banner event is coming to Destiny next week. Jeremiah Pieschl, a designer at Bungie, has confirmed that many of the changes included in the latest Iron Banner are influenced directly by player feedback. The new Destiny Iron Banner event starts April 26th and it will run until May 3rd. It will feature Clash game type and pit teams of level 40-plus players taking on each other.
Light-enabled advantages for Guardians will be carried over and the payouts for victory will be a bit different this time. Bungie says that this has been done to improve the reward experience.
Players should expect to see more Iron Banner gear next week instead of Legendary Engrams. Iron Banner gear will now have a chance to drop after every match played which means players no longer have to wait until Rank 2. Also included is a new rifle and rocket launcher aside from new armor.
Since most players spend more time playing at lower ranks due to the tempered mechanic, Bungie says that it was important to ensure that those earlier games proved to be rewarding for players. A reward logic issue has been fixed by the Destiny team so players will now see more consistent access to rewards below Banner Rank 5.
