Game Mode
To win, rack up points by defeating your opponents. You gain more points and a boost of energy at each final blow while on a streak of 2 or more.
Streak: The number of opponents you defeat in a single life. Streaks are broken into 2 tiers called Surging and Primed that award you increasingly more points and energy at each final blow. But beware: once you become Primed, you need to keep quickly defeating your opponents or you’ll erupt!
The Hunt: This activates for your team when you or your teammate is Primed by reaching a streak of 5 or more. At the start of The Hunt, the whole team gets a boost of energy. It ends when your team has no more players Primed.
View more details on our Iron Banner page.

Tip from Bungie
“For all who haven’t found out yet: you might want to visit Hawthorne. We heard that her people found something in the fishing ponds in the Throne World.
Go and spend some time there and see what bites! Remember you gotta catch ´em all. Have fun fishing, Guardians!”

Summary of Changes Coming in Season 21
Destiny 2 is introducing Exotic armor focusing and decryption at Rahool during Season 21. The three focusing options include Standard Decryption, Exotic Focusing Tier 1, and Exotic Focusing Tier 2.
Details:
-
Standard Decryption:
- Allows players to decrypt engrams for free.
- Players receive random drops from standard Exotic engram loot pools.
- No additional cost.
-
Exotic Focusing Tier 1:
- Focus an engram to receive a random roll of an Exotic from the associated expansion.
- Expansion includes Red War, Forsaken, Shadowkeep, Beyond Light, and The Witch Queen.
- Lightfall will be available in a future season.
- Requires ownership of the associated expansion and previously acquired all armor pieces within the engram for the player's class.
- Cost: 1 Exotic engram, 30,000 Glimmer, and 1 Ascendant Shard.
-
Exotic Focusing Tier 2:
- Focus on a specific Exotic Armor.
- Requires ownership of the associated expansion and previously acquired that specific armor piece.
- Cost: 1 Exotic engram, 60,000 Glimmer, 3 Ascendant Shards, and 1 Exotic Cipher.
Other Important Notes/Changes:
- Exotic armor stats will be consistently higher in Season 21.
- 'Complete activities' challenges reward will change to Powerful Exotic engrams.
- Pinnacle Cap not raised in Season 21, so need for Pinnacle Legendary rewards decreased.
- Other sources of focusable Exotic engrams include random world drops, Season Pass, and vendor reputation tracks.
- Additional focusable Exotic engram sources coming in future seasons.
