Destiny 2 drops skill-based matchmaking in Crucible
The Destiny 2 Trials of Osiris Crucible mode has finally arrived. After an extended hiatus following the Trials of the Nine flop, Bungie resurrected the original pinnacle PvP activity as the centerpiece for the Season of the Worthy. Destiny 2 Trials of Osiris will feel familiar to Destiny 1 veterans, as will many of its rewards, but it’s got some new rules and features this time around. To that end, we’ve rounded up everything you need to know, from what time Trials of Osiris starts to what you can earn by playing it. It works on the same clock as Xur, appearing every weekend and ending with the next weekly reset. Trials is a competitive Crucible mode that uses 3v3 Elimination rules. You need to be at least Power to participate as it is a Power-enabled activity, though Bungie says it will institute a Power cap soon. You also need a pre-made fireteam of three since Trials does not support matchmaking in the same way the Competitive playlist does. To compete in Trials of Osiris, you need to purchase a Trials ticket. Each time you win a match, you’ll earn a stamp of sorts on your ticket.
