Destiny 2's Iron Banner Extends To Two Weeks, With More Changes

Destiny 2's first Iron Banner since the release of The Final Shape expansion kicks off on July 2, and it'll see some significant changes from the PvP event's past iterations. The biggest is that, for the first time ever, Iron Banner will last two weeks, instead of the typical one.
Bungie detailed the Iron Banner changes in its latest This Week in Destiny blog post. In the past, Iron Banner has come with a specific game mode for its week-long tenure; it used to be Control, but Bungie has been changing that up lately for some more dynamic, objective-based modes like Rift and Eruption. With the new two-week-long event, each week will feature a particular mode. For the first week, you'll play the king of the hill-like Control; in the second week, it'll be Tribute mode, which is similar to Supremacy, where you pick up crests dropped by players when they're killed.
Extending Iron Banner to two weeks should change some elements of it--namely, the grind should be a lot easier to rank up the event's reputation, gild its Triumph Seal, and earn its specific rewards. The week duration of past Iron Banners has meant that, if you really want to make the most of it, you have to play a lot. This longer version of the event should make it a little less of a pain for players who want to grab its special guns.
