Overview
Freelance: Iron Banner is the solo-only queue for Iron Banner, the seasonal Crucible event run by Lord Saladin. It was announced for Season 12 and lets solo players avoid premade fireteams (forum thread; players raised concerns about split queues). This entry plays the Control-style Rift mode in which you collect the Spark and ignite the opponent's Rift; first team to 5 points wins. It is only available while Iron Banner is live; launch from the Director.
