Just about every week brings something new to Destiny 2, whether it's story beats, new activities, or interesting new combinations of elements that let players devastate each other in the Crucible. Iron Banter is our weekly look at what's going on in the world of Destiny and a rundown of what's drawing our attention across the solar system.

Phil Hornshaw, a good friend and fellow clanmate of mine, lit the braziers of GameSpot's Iron Banter for some time before moving on to the next chapter of his journey. For those who might not know, this is uncharted territory for me as I spend most of my time on the video side of things. So to say that I'm nervous about grabbing the baton for Iron Banter is a massive understatement. Although I would be lying if I didn't say that I'm very excited because now I get to be your liaison in the Tower, talking shop and Destiny 2.

Bungie's world has consumed me and my time in video games for years. I have seen every color and shade that these games have adopted and have forgotten countless eras of what the game used to be. From my first Exotic drop ever (Patience and Time) to my first busted Crucible meta (Thorn and The Last Word), I have lived through Destiny's extreme lows and manic highs and saw Destiny 2 stumble and recover its footing in eerily similar fashion.
