We’ll have to see if it’s enough to revive Destiny 2’s PvP community from the dead.Following last week’s absence, Trials of Osiris has returned this week in Destiny 2. So while we don’t know many exact details, Trials of Osiris is definitely coming back - and soon. It’s possible Saint could be the Osiris vendor this time around, or even be the in-game narrator of matches - like the Emissary of the Nine was in vanilla Destiny 2.Īs for the rewards, we don’t know if we will see unique weapons for flawless runs or whether they will limit them strictly to cosmetics. In terms of vendors, Saint-14 has set up flags with the Eye of Osiris in the Tower Hangar. And with the Lighthouse being rebuilt via the Empyrean Foundation, those who go flawless should expect a return to the fabled social space. Players should expect the 3v3 Elimination game mode to be back.
But based on the Elimination mode Bungie has been testing for a few months, the mode looks to be returning to the way it worked originally. We still don’t know exactly what Trials of Osiris will look like in Destiny 2. And after months of teasing, Bungie has finally confirmed its return.

For over a year and a half, fans have been begging for any update on the return of Trials. In the fall of 2018, Bungie put Trials of the Nine on indefinite hiatus, leaving a large hole in the Destiny 2 PvP community. Aside from some flawless-only cosmetic armor, the weapons were all the same across Trials of the Nine. Going flawless in Trials was one of the hardest things to do in Destiny, but players didn’t have any real incentive to do it in Destiny 2.
For the first few weeks of Trials of the Nine, nearly every player ran the MIDA Multi-tool scout rifle and the Uriel’s Gift auto rifle.īut the problems with Trials of the Nine also stemmed from rewards. Without these high damage weapons accessible at the start of each round, players all defaulted to the same kinds of builds. This change hit the Crucible the hardest, removing many of the one-hit kill weapons that reward skill over spraying and praying. In vanilla Destiny 2, Bungie relegated weapons like sniper rifles, shotguns, and fusion rifles to the heavy weapon slot - alongside the usual suspects like rocket launchers and swords. But the real issues came from the heart of Destiny 2. The mode traded the Elimination ruleset for two rotating game types: Countdown and Survival. Instead of the Egyptian-themed Trials of Osiris, players took on the Trials of the Nine. For the sequel, the studio tried something different. 14, 2017, about three weeks before Bungie launched Destiny 2. The last Trials of Osiris weekend was Aug. What was so good about the original Trials?
Some players reached the Lighthouse every week, and others spent their entire Destiny careers trying to get there. Finishing a flawless run meant a special trip to a location called the Lighthouse, as well as unique, and super powerful, rewards. The best players in the world could win nine games of Trials in a row without dropping a single match. But after three losses, players would need to cash in their card - for rewards based on their wins - and get another one before queuing back up. For every victory they’d get a checkmark on their Trials of Osiris scorecard (up to nine). Players would form a group of three, and venture into a unique playlist against other Trials of Osiris hopefuls. Trials of Osiris was a 3v3, competitive multiplayer mode in the original Destiny that ran Friday-Tuesday each week. What was Trials of Osiris?
