As for sniper rifle kills, if you're not much of a sniper, this one can be a pain. These numbers are starting to look a bit daunting, but don't worry, these objectives should carry forward from your previous matches-so it's possible you'll go into this step with your Guardian kills and zone requirements already met. Ace of Spades gets some serious power boosts as you use it and rack up kills Thorn will poison enemies and damage them over time, increasing the likelihood that you'll nab kills Crimson heals you when you kill enemies and The Last Word lets you shoot very fast from the hip, making you exceptionally deadly at close ranges. Also good are the Exotic hand cannons Ace of Spades, Crimson, Thorn, and The Last Word, each with its own various upshots.

A recent favorite hand cannon is Igneous Hammer from the Trials of Osiris, which can do some serious damage to enemies very quickly. Your choice of gun is going to help significantly with this step. Super kills also count here, which might be the quickest way to clear this step.

It's also worth decking out your armor with Strength and Discipline mods so you can more quickly earn grenades and melee ability recharges, so that you're more frequently ready to use your abilities. Choose Exotics that boost your abilities, such as the Hunter's Lucky Raspberry, to make things like your melee and grenades more effective.

If there's a gate here, it's with ability kills. This is a pretty easy and straightforward step you should complete fairly easily and quickly. That helps keep things pretty manageable, but regardless, expect to do some grinding to get all your Iron Banner gear. So even though one step might require you to capture 10 Control zones and the next will ask for 20, the first 10 will count toward the next step. One thing to know about Iron Banner quests is that while they contain a lot of steps and requirements, the good news is that many elements of each step will carry forward to future ones.

So feel free to turn in your Iron Banner bounties and tokens if you're hoping for new rolls on the shotgun and machine gun. While during the first Iron Banner of the season, rewards weren't dolled out correctly and it was tough to get new copies of Riiswalker and Archon's Thunder, that issue has been fixed. You'll also claim two new, Eliksni-themed guns, the Riiswalker auto rifle and Archon's Thunder machine gun. Iron Banner in the Season of the Splicer brings back some rewards from Destiny 2's past, including Finite Impactor and Occluded Finality, two Iron Banner guns we haven't seen in quite some time.

You can complete the quest during any Iron Banner this season, but the current run of the week-long PvP event ends with the weekly reset on Tuesday, June 15. You have all season (and multiple Iron Banner events) to finish Iron-Handed Diplomacy, but if you're hoping to get it done ASAP, we're here to help.

Iron-Handed Diplomacy carries six steps, each one focusing on a different weapon, so you'll need to show some versatility to complete the quest. This is also another chance to take on the activity's multi-step seasonal quest, which unlocks Iron Banner armor and weapons. The Iron Banner is back in Destiny 2, bringing new weapons to the loot pool in the Season of the Splicer.
