Iron Banner remains an excellent source of Pinnacle rewards. Every week, Iron Banner can drop up to four different Pinnacle rewards per character, provided you complete its four daily challenges before the week is over.
This guide covers everything there is to know about Iron Banner’s challenges, including how to actually find them (this is trickier than it should be, trust us!).

What are Iron Banner challenges?
Iron Banner Challenges are specific challenges that progressively unlock to all players whenever Iron Banner is live. There are four different challenges in total, each rewarding a Pinnacle reward.
In an effort to combat the bounty fever that affects many parts of the game, Bungie removed the four iconic Iron Banner bounties and replaced them with four daily challenges. Season of Defiance continues to trend, which means that every time Iron Banner rolls around, it comes with four distinct daily challenges. This is how the system currently works:
- One new challenge is unlocked daily
- Challenges remain available for the entire Iron Banner week
- Daily challenges are retroactive
This means that you can wait until Day 4 of the week and tackle all four daily challenges simultaneously.

How to complete a daily challenge in Iron Banner
