Irons will be able to use the buff if they so wish, the discussions on which things Irons should and shouldn't have access to continues on currently but we felt it was best to have this event align with the previous one.
The buffs will not be automatically activated once earned as irons will need to switch them on at the event host Mr Mordaut so it is a choice each player can make for themselves.
I understand different sides of the discussion would like removal or access to these buffs be enforced but we felt this was the best compromise for this situation.
