Bannerfall

Bannerfall is a Crucible map in the Destiny expansion The Taken King and Destiny 2.^[1]

This map is set in the remains of another Tower on the other side of The City. It is a medium-side map with good ranges for sniping and corridors for close-combat battles. It is also good for playing Control or Rift.

History

This Tower bears insignia from the start of New Monarchy, and that of a mysterious fourth faction that disappeared with this Tower. It also contains the remains of the workshop of weaponsmith Feizel Crux, including blueprints and designs data on several of their iconic rocket launchers such as Truth.^[2]

Eventually, a Guardian returned to Bannerfall to retrieve the plans for Gjallarhorn and stop a Fallen attempt to destroy the Wall. ^[2] The New Monarch decor became replaced with Red Legion decor during the Red War.

Trivia

• Behind the locked door on on the far side of the map, where the A Control mark is, there can be heard a Frame  telling Guardians to watch out for the wet floors or apologizing for getting in the way.
• In a room accessible only through the questline Beauty in Destruction  in Rise of Iron, Guardians can access a old workshop. It contains weapons data, blueprints, and other design specs for the iconic Exotic Rocket launchers Gjallarhorn and Truth.
• In Destiny 2, the New Monarchy side of the map instead features Cabal Red Legion banners and equipment, indicating that Bannerfall may have also been the site of a battle during the Red War.
