Bungie Reveals Details About Trials Of Osiris And Iron Banner's Return In Destiny
Bungie posted an update on its site that revealed a number of details about changes coming to Destiny. The update includes news about the return of both Trials of Osiris and Iron Banner.
Players don't have long to wait before the popular competitive experiences are back on the docket. Trials is set to return on Friday, September 30, while Iron Banner comes back on Tuesday, October 4. Trials is returning without major changes to its structure, but Iron Banner is seeing some significant adjustments to how XP is earned and what happens when you complete a bounty. The developer included a list of changes that are coming to Iron Banner:
- The Tempered mechanic is gone – play when you want
- There are now 4 Weekly Bounties
- Bounty rewards include:
- An Iron Banner item not featured on the Vendor
- A chance at an Iron Banner Artifact or Vanity Item
- 25 Legendary Marks
- 750 Iron Banner Reputation
- Victory in a match grants 250 Reputation
- Iron Medallions grant 150 Reputation each, upon Victor
