Iron Banner 2.0 comes to Destiny next week

Just when you thought it was safe to shoot other people in the face, Bungie has announced plans to launch a second Iron Banner event within Destiny at some point next week.

Like the first event, Iron Banner 2.0 strips gear requirements from Destiny's player vs player Crucible mode. The idea here is that players will battle one another with the best weapons and equipment they can get their hands on, proving who is the greatest moon wizard hunter (or who has the most free time to dedicate to Bungie's game). If you took part in the original Iron Banner event, your Rank will carry over to the second event, where new rewards and additional ranks are available to those who prove most deadly on the virtual battlefield.

There's no launch date attached to the second Iron Banner event, though Bungie hopes to give players notice of the festivities at least 24 hours before launch. In the meantime, read up on Iron Banner 2.0 in Bungie's latest blog post.
