Iron Banner schedule & mode rotation
The Iron Banner schedule is a little different to how it previously appeared in Destiny 2. Now, players can expect the event to occur only a few times a season, instead of the monthly occurrence it was known for previously. The game mode on offer will also change, flipping between Control, Rift, Eruption, Fortress, Tribute, and perhaps some others. Beyond these upfront changes, there are a host of other Iron Banner changes that arrived with Season 17.

As of Season of the Haunted, Iron Banner has been updated to bring it more in-line with the other limited-time events players experience over the course of a year in Destiny 2. One of the first big differences players will notice is that Rift is the mode for the entirety of Season 17. Previously, Control was the only mode on offer but now Bungie will be rotating the modes to keep the experience fresh. Starting in Season 18, Iron Banner will feature the new Eruption game mode.
