Iron Banner armor (Ash & Iron)

🚨 Bungie just made a major announcement! The previously announced Ancient Majesty armor for the Eververse, has been moved to Iron Banner!

In the short term, today we will be changing the visuals of Iron Banner’s Iron Beryllium set to instead use those of the upcoming Ancient Majesty set, shown here. The Iron Beryllium set’s original visuals will be available in a later update. The Ancient Majesty set will now become the Iron Banner set and will not be made purchasable on the Eververse store.

With Ash & Iron, the featured Iron Banner armor is a returning set from Year 1 of Destiny 2: The Iron Chromate Set. This reprised set features the following armor bonuses:

  • Two Pieces: Vigilant Watch: As your health gets lower, your weapons going increased stability and handling. Weapon final blows while your shields are depleted heal you.
  • Four Pieces: Iron Conviction: When your shields become broken, you gain increased ammo generation, flinch resistance, and damage resistance against nearby combatants for a short time. Final blows extend this effect.

Be aware that you’ll need to spend Synthweave to use these as ornaments (which is a shame for those who actually earned the ornaments back in 2017).
