Happy reset day, Guardians! The final Iron Banner of Season 3 launches NOW! As usual, the game type is 6v6 Control but this time it includes a couple of new twists. First off, the Control flags are being replaced with Iron Temple fire pits that will ignite when captured. Speaking of capturing zones, when a team captures all 3 zones (Power Play) the zones will lock down for 20 seconds. After the 20 seconds, all the zones are reset back to neutral and must be recaptured.
