In Destiny 2, the Trials of the Nine are live! What new features are there in this PvP activity? What weapons and armor pieces can you win? How do I achieve “Flawless”?
On September 15, 2017, the first Trials in the history of Destiny 2 began. After the “Trials of Osiris” came to an end in Destiny 1 in mid-August, the Trials return in the sequel as the “Trials of the Nine”.
Now, there have been several changes to this endgame PvP activity. We summarize all the information about the Trials of the Nine.
These are the Trials of the Nine in Destiny 2 – Everything you need to know about the PvP event
The Trials of the Nine represent a weekly Crucible PvP event where unique rewards can be earned. This event starts every Friday at 7 PM and ends on Tuesdays at 11 AM (summer time).
Access Requirements for the Trials
You must meet these requirements in order to participate in the Trials:
- Complete the story campaign
- Master the “Call to Arms” milestone at least once
- Have at least Power Level 260
Ticket, fireteam size, map, game modes – All new features and information about the Trials
Once the Trials event is live, you can start it via the navigator. You will find it in the Crucible overview:
- The “Trials Ticket”, which shows your progress, can be viewed in the navigator above the Trials symbol. It costs nothing.
- Players who achieve consecutive victories receive more Trials rewards.
- Defeats only count on a ticket after you have achieved the first victory.
- If you have three defeats on a ticket, you must start over. The ticket will be reset.
How do I achieve “Flawless” in the Trials? – Flawless, new social space, rewards
The main goal of the Trials is: A Flawless Ticket.
To achieve “Flawless”, you must fill your ticket with 7 victories. There must not be any defeats on the ticket. In other words: You need 7 consecutive victories. There are no items like in the Trials of Osiris that can remove a defeat or grant a victory.
Your rewards for the Trials are obtained in a new social space called “The Third Pillar”. Access to this place is only granted after you have won your first Trials match. The Emissary is located there:
There are four reward tiers in the Trials:
- After each match, you receive items and “Trials of the Nine” tokens.
- The Emissary has a reputation system. Redeem tokens with her and receive Trials Engrams.
- If you achieve multiple victories per ticket, jumping platforms in the social space will be activated. These will transport you to additional emissaries. They have extra rewards for you. From 3, 5, and 7 victories, you can collect your rewards. Important: You can also receive the reward for 7 victories without achieving “Flawless”.
- If you achieve “Flawless”, meaning 7 victories without a defeat, you will receive an additional reward. You can then jump to the top of the tower and be absorbed into another dimension. Here you will find a huge head of the Emissary of the Nine (see our title image). There, you can choose between two rewards.
The rewards in the Trials of the Nine – Weapons, armor pieces, gear
Note that some Trials rewards are Powerful gear. This allows you to reach the maximum power level.
In the Trials weapons, it is noticeable that all perks revolve around sliding.
Update: Here we present all the weapons from the Trials of the Nine and reveal their potential!
These are the weapons available from the engrams – however, you can also earn additional Trials weapons:
- The hand cannon is called Judgment. When you slide, the weapon’s magazine is partially loaded and range and stability are improved for a short time (the slide perk can also be replaced by another perk):
- The pulse rifle is called Relentless. The slide perk causes the magazine of the weapon to be partially loaded by sliding, and handling and stability are improved for a short time.
- The scout rifle is called The End and looks like a sniper. The slide perk is the same as the pulse rifle (handling and stability):
- The shotgun is called “A Sudden Death“. The slide perk is the same as that of the hand cannon (range and stability):
- The sniper is called “The Long Walk” and has the slide perk that temporarily increases range and stability as well as partially refills the magazine:
- The pistol is called “A Swift Verdict” and also has the slide perk for range and stability:
- Additionally, there is a submachine gun called Adjudicator. The slide perk increases handling and stability:
This is the design of the Trials armor pieces:
In addition to the gear, you can earn emblems, shaders, Legendary Shards, and auras in the Trials. The engrams can also contain exotic items.
Note: This is not a complete list of all items available in the Trials.
