Iron Banner: New This Season
Game Mode Rules & Tips
- Learn more about the different game modes that Iron Banner has.
Fortress
- Game Objective: In Iron Banner: Fortress, the core gameplay is to score more points than your opponent by capturing and defending zones; the hunt will activate twice per match.
- General Game Mechanics:
- Capture zones like you would in regular Control. Gain 2 points for each zone your team controls at each time interval.
- When your team controls 2 zones, your team will have zone advantage which will grant you 4 points at each time interval.
- When your team controls all 3 zones, your team will have a power play. Your team will gain 6 points at each time interval.
- When the hunt is active, Empress Caiatl will send a high-value zone via Drop pod.
- This zone is quick to capture and awards a large number of points over a shorter period of time.
Eruption
- Game Objective: In Iron Banner: Eruption, players are tasked with earning kill streaks, with each new elimination providing significant power-ups as a match goes on.
- General Game Mechanics:
- One kill earns you one point, but two kills in a row will apply the “Surging” buff to your Guardian.
- With this effect active, players will begin to glow and each new kill in their streak will generate 10% Super energy and 20% grenade, melee, and class energy.
- They’ll also earn three points per elimination, and on the fifth kill, will become “Primed.”
- Once Primed, everyone on your team will gain 5% Super and 10% grenade, melee, and class energy, while you’ll gain 12% Super and 5% grenade, melee, and class energy per kill, and three points per kill.
- The catch here is that you’ll have a 15-second timer applied which will cause you to “erupt” once it reaches zero, resetting your streak and ending the perks for your teammates…and also killing you.
- Notes:
- When primed, you’ll be visible to the opposing team on the map and they’ll gain three points each time they eliminate you.
- Your own team can also see you wherever you are on the map, and more than one player can be Primed at a time.
Control
- Game Objective: In Iron Banner: Control, the core gameplay is to capture zones and eliminate combatants.
- General Game Mechanics:
- Capture zones like you would in regular Control. Gain 2 points for each zone your team controls at each time interval.
- When your team controls 2 zones, your team will have zone advantage which will grant you 2 points per kill.
- When your team controls 3 zones, the hunt begins, which means zones are locked down for a short duration and all kills are 3 points each during this time.
