[b][i]Seasonal events coming to Destiny in 2016[/i] [/b]As well as weekly updates, Destiny is regularly updated throughout the year with limited-time activities, some of which are based on real-world festivals. Not only does it give players new things to do, but also lets them earn exclusive loot, often at high Light levels. [b]Iron Banner[/b] Taking place every four to six weeks, Iron Banner is a week-long Crucible event where Light level and gear is taken into account, meaning the quality of weapons and equipment matters. At certain reputation levels, players can earn exclusive rewards at high Light levels. (If you need ways to increase your Light level, our page on how to reach max Light level in Destiny can help.) [b]Festival of the Lost (October)[/b] Destiny's week-long take on Halloween is set to return in October 2016, where players collect Masks, crafting equipment and candy as part of a series of trick-or-treat activities in the Tower and Quests elsewhere in the game. [b]Sparrow Racing League (December)[/b] After debuting in 2015 for three weeks, Sparrow Racing League - or SRL - will return in December 2016, once again seeing players ride their Sparrows in courses on the game's many planets in a bid to win exclusive loot, some of which can drop at maximum Light level. What we know about 2016's version is that there will be tweaks to existing tracks, and new ones "inspired" by Rise of Iron's new settings. It'll also have something more than just racing, according to Game Informer: "When we talk about SRL coming back, it'll probably be wrapped in a different style, not just focused around SRL," live team director Jerry Hook said. "Because some of the stuff that we learned from our players around the Sparrow Racing League is that some people didn't like racing. So, can you do something with the event that helps support those players a little bit differently? Absolutely." *** Also *** Don't forget Wrath of the Machine hard mode drops on October 18th!
