Do you have what it takes?
The competitive Crucible PvP mode Trials of Osiris is live in Destiny 2 from July 16-20. In this weekend-exclusive mode, two teams of three players battle over multiple rounds. The team that defeats the other wins the round (there are no objectives on the map to worry about), and the team that wins the most rounds wins the match.
The members of the winning team then have a win added to their Trials card. Getting three, five, and seven wins on your card nets you pieces of special Trials gear that are exclusive to the gamemode, and if you win seven games in a row on one Trials card, you'll achieve flawless status.
Going flawless allows you and your team to head to the Lighthouse, which is where you'll receive an Adept variant of a Trials weapon (notably, perk rolls are still randomized). Players can apply powerful Adept mods on these weapons, making them more valuable than non-Adept counterparts. However, getting three losses on your Trials card will reset it. Therefore, it's crucial to play smart and communicate with your teammates efficiently if you want to getall of the rewards that are on offer during each week of Trials.
Saint-14 in The Tower can also be given Trials of Osiris tokens that you earn while playing in exchange for some additional armor pieces or weapons. Since most players will be earning a fair amount of these tokens as they attempt to reach the Lighthouse, turning them in is a great way to augment your winnings with even more loot. However, it's important to note that they disappear when Trials of Osiris ends each Tuesday at weekly reset, so use them right away.
The map that Trials matches take place on changes every week. This week, Trials is taking place on Pacifica, which is a close-to-mid range map where SMGs, auto rifles, pulse rifles, hand cannons, shotguns, fusion rifles, and grenade launchers all perform well. There aren't many sniper sightlines, so it's best to avoid scout rifles and sniper rifles on this map.
The gear that you get from playing well in Trials of Osiris is typically some of the best in the game. The rewards on offer this week include the popular Igneous Hammer hand cannon and more.
- 3 Wins: Igenous Hammer (Hand Cannon)
- 5 Wins: Coming soon!
- 7 Wins: Coming soon!
- Flawless: Coming soon!
