Iron Battalion armor goals
Chase Iron Battalion while the Event Home track is open: 2-piece Primary Honing (Primary handling/reload + damage vs non-boss from Weapons stat) and 4-piece Supercyclical (Super final blows refund Super energy when it ends). Event Card ranks also award weapon/armor engrams, the Young Wolf's Pack emblem, and the Salute of the Lords emote. Equip IB gear to raise the Crucible Performance Multiplier shown in Event Home.
Next Iron Banner date
After August 4, the next projected cycle is August 25 – September 1, 2026 with Bonus Focus Pool 1 (Felwinter's Lie / Crimil's Dagger / Forward Path line), then September 22 – 29 (Pool 2 again). Treat those as working dates from Kyber's four-week table until Event Home or a TWID confirms. Between IB weeks, Trials resumes on Fridays (next: August 7).
Note on Crucible set bonuses
As of a July 30 Destiny 2 Team update, the four-piece Bountiful Munitions (Cyberserpent Null) set bonus is disabled in Crucible Ops playlists, including Iron Banner, due to a Special ammo exploit. It still works in PvE. Plan loadouts accordingly for the rest of this Banner week.
