Lord Saladin is back, bringing the Iron Banner to Destiny 2. New players to Light may be a little confused, so let's get down to business. Iron Banner is a special PvP event that will take place multiple times per season. You charge into the Crucible at the behest of Lord Saladin and engage in power level combat.
This time around, you'll need to lead a chase called Scour the Rust to get your special Iron Banner armor. You must also complete it to be able to use your earned Iron Banner tokens for the winning rounds and to complete the four bounties that Saladin will have at your disposal. The good news is, if you enjoy the banner, you can collect these bounties multiple times and craft Pinnacle gear.
To start the chase, visit Lord Saladin in the tower. You can't miss it, surrounded by burning braziers and giant metal wolf heads.
Scour The Rust - Pursuit of the Iron Banner
Scour the Rust is a multi-stage chase that will require you to complete various actions in the Iron Banner. It is primarily designed to get people to explore weapon options and play the objective in one way or another.
Remember that all of these steps must be completed in the Iron Banner. If you need a specific weapon for each stage, that weapon type will disappear as a reward for completing the previous stage! If your inventory is full, it will be sent to the postmaster at the tower, so be sure to check if you need it.

Conviction
Please note that this step is currently a bug, and kills with SMG will count as rocket killers. Fortunately, rocket launcher hits still count, so double those weapons in your loadout for this step. I expect this to be corrected fairly quickly.
- Capture 50 areas
- Complete 15 matches
- Kill 10 hits with the rocket launchers
Each completed stage will drop you a piece of this season's Iron Banner armor for your class, and once you're done, you can visit Lord Saladin in the tower to hand over the pursuit to him and get the last item. . Once that's done, you can then use your Iron Banner tokens with Saladin to try and get good rolls for new material.
