Game mode in the Iron Banner
This will be the first of three Iron Banner events during the Season of Challenge, the game mode is Iron Banner Control. Eruption will follow through week 6 (which is now only two weeks away, after its delay), while Fortress will be available through week 9. Bungie says that future seasons may introduce other new variations of Iron Banner mode, but none of they will appear this season.
Iron Banner Controlplays out much like standard Control mode, except that capturing all three zones temporarily locks them down and allows you to earn bonus points for hunting down the enemy team.
What will the Iron Banner rewards be?
Loot will include two returning Iron Banner weapons: the sniper rifle Bite of the Fox and the pulse rifle Jorum’s Claw. You can focus Iron Banner engrams on these (and other weapons and armor) if you’ve obtained them before.
Now, if you haven’t won them before, you will receive a fox bite (with Quick Strike and Iron Gaze) at rank 4 and Jorum’s Claw (with moving white and incandescent) at rank 7. That makes them the first two rewards you’ll be able to pick up with Lord Saladin in the Tower. Unfortunately, you will need to reset his range at least once before you get an Iron Banner shader.

Each of these costs an Iron Engram in addition to 25-50 Legendary Shards and 5,000-10,000 Glimmer. Alternatively, you can decipher the engrams directly from Saladin for random rewards.
