The Hunt

The Hunt is a bonus-points phase in Iron Banner: Tribute, the Supremacy-style variant of Iron Banner in the Crucible. In Tribute you defeat opponents, collect the crests they drop and bank them at Cabal beacons to score for your team. The Hunt raises the value of that banking for a short window.

How it works

• Banking enough crests (the score threshold) triggers a Hunt phase, and a special high-value beacon appears. Crests deposited there are worth more, and the beacon is defended by turrets.
• A second trigger is also reported: The Hunt begins when you or a teammate becomes Primed, which needs a streak of 5 or more eliminations. It lasts until your team has no Primed players left, and the team gets an energy boost while it runs.
• Filling a beacon resets the beacon locations.

Notes

Reports describe The Hunt differently: a crest-bank threshold in one account and a Primed-streak trigger in another. The mode was revised after its first appearance, so details may differ by season.
