With the March update, the popular Rumble mode from the predecessor made its return in Destiny 2. However, there was little to celebrate – the free-for-all mode was plagued with issues, and players were dissatisfied. Now Rumble is being revised.
When Update 1.1.4 went live on March 27, a lot of PvP players dove straight into the crucible. Because as part of the March update, the popular Rumble mode from Destiny 1 also returned.
But for many, the anticipation did not last long. It quickly became apparent that the current maps were too small for 8 competing Guardians. The respawn mechanic was suboptimal. More often than not, players respawned right in front of an opponent’s gun – sometimes multiple times in a row.
Bungie has recognized the issues and aims to improve. Rumble is now being revised.
This is how Bungie intends to solve the problems of the Rumble mode
Through feedback from the Guardians, Bungie quickly realized that the mode felt overcrowded. When Rumble goes live again on April 10 for the postponed April Iron Banner, the Guardians should have a bit more breathing room.
That’s why the number of players will be reduced to 6. Additionally, the respawn mechanic is being worked on behind the scenes. This way, Guardians should be better distributed in the future and not step on each other’s toes during respawn.
What do you think? Will these changes be sufficient to make the Rumble mode more appealing? Or are larger maps or other measures needed for PvP players to enjoy Rumble?
