Pushing the Enemy’s First Zone Is a Solid Strategy
Destiny 2 Iron Banner Tips and Tricks for Beginners
The way Control works in Destiny 2 is that each team starts off with one captured zone already, and a clear one up for grabs. Many players like to push the clear one, but that often leads to a nasty firefight that may or may not go your way. A good strategy is to ignore the free one and go straight for your adversary’s, especially during Iron Banner where you’re really trying to win.
This will create one of two scenarios. The first is that the enemy team went for the empty zone, leaving their own free for the taking (we call this best-case scenario). The other is that they had the same idea as you, so you’ll meet somewhere in between. If you can wipe the team at this point, you may be able to go for a Power Play (holding all zones). More often than not, the enemy team will go for the free zone, letting you get the early lead.
