Destiny 2 Iron Banner Guide: First Event's New Gear, Weapons, Armor, And Rewards

By Tamoor Hussain on Oct 16, 2017 11:09 pm

Destiny 2's Iron Banner Crucible event is live now on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Aside from providing another way to play Crucible, it introduces a wealth of new armor and weapons to deck out your character. We've gathered up images of everything that's available and put them in a gallery for your perusal.

But before we get into that, here's some handy information to help you get comfortable with what Iron Banner is, as there have been some small changes from the first game. First off, to actually take part you need to visit Lord Saladin in the Tower, which requires you to complete Destiny 2's story. Once the credits have rolled on the campaign, you'll be given access to the Tower and will be able to speak with Saladin once you've reached level 20.

The Iron Banner is accessible through its own Crucible playlist, which features Quickplay modes and matchmaking settings. You can join with a Fireteam or take on enemies solo. Whatever your choice, you've only got a total of seven days, as the Iron Banner ends on October 17 with the weekly reset.

Instead of 6v6, like in the original Destiny, Iron Banner matches in Destiny 2 are now 4v4. Additionally, Power levels are not taken into account, as Light levels were previously. Instead, "your fighting abilities, not your power levels, will decide the outcome," according to Bungie. Despite the official requirements outlined above, you may only need to finish the campaign and hit 20 with one character on your account; we were able to jump into Iron Banner and do well with a very low-level character.

All this is in service of racking up kills, climbing the ranks, and scoring Iron Banner Engrams. These are your ticket to getting the gear featured across this gallery. We've grabbed screenshots of all the Titan, Hunter, and Warlock gear, as well as the Faction Weapons Saladin has to offer.

For those looking for a little more, the Iron Banner update will be followed by Destiny 2's Leviathan Raid Prestige Mode, which makes the already pretty tricky raid even more difficult. The Leviathan Prestige Raid was recently delayed and now launches at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM BST on Wednesday, October 18 (4 AM AEDT on October 19).

If you're wondering what Destiny 2 weapons Xbox boss Phil Spencer wants, you can find out here. He also talks about allowing members of the public to join his Fireteam and play with him.

Overwatch Halloween Terror 2017: See Every New Skin And Weapon

By Chris Pereira on Oct 16, 2017 04:47 pm

It's October, and with Halloween drawing near, Blizzard is marking the occasion with a new Overwatch seasonal event. Halloween Terror 2017 is officially underway after some leaks, and what that means is there are new skins to get your hands on--but they'll only be distributed for a limited time.

As it did in 2016, Halloween Terror replaces the standard Loot Box with a special themed one. This allows you to get the exclusive Halloween Terror 2016 cosmetics in addition to more than 50 new ones. Among them are a variety of skins, including Legendary ones for Ana, McCree, Zenyatta, and Symmetra. You can check out all of the new skins currently up for grabs in the gallery above. You can obtain Loot Boxes by leveling up or purchasing them, as usual. Any items you get can be used year-round, though they're only obtainable during the event itself.

In addition to simply offering new cosmetics, there's also a new way to play. 2016's Junkenstein's Revenge event has made a return; this co-op, Horde-style mode has players facing off against waves of AI-controlled enemies. A new endless option this year allows you to see just how many waves your team of four can make it through. Leaderboards will track your progress and allow players to compete for the top spot.

Halloween Terror 2017 is now underway on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. It runs until November 2 on all platforms. For a look at other celebrations, check out our roundup of all the in-game Halloween events and updates.
