In the MMO shooter Destiny 2, the Trials of the Nine start today, November 10. Which map will be played, what is the game mode?
Today the kickoff begins for the second Trials of the Nine on PC. Guardians on PS4 and Xbox One have been able to play this PvP event before, but they too had to skip the Trials in recent weeks due to a bizarre emote glitch. Today, the second Trials start after this glitch disaster.
As a reminder, here are the entry requirements:
- Complete the story campaign
- Master the “Call to Arms” milestone at least once
- Have at least power level 260
The today’s Trials start at 6 PM. They end on November 14 at 10 AM. The map being played is Infinity. The game mode is Countdown.
What are the Trials of the Nine with the Countdown mode?
This time you will compete in the Trials in the “Countdown” mode. It is a round-based and objective-based PvP mode.
You will face off in teams of four, with each round alternating the offensive and defensive roles between the teams:
- If you are the offensive team, you need to plant a bomb at one of two possible locations and defend it until it detonates.
- If you are the defensive team, you must prevent a bomb from being planted, or defuse the bomb in time.
The team that successfully executes its role wins a round. You can also win a round by completely defeating the opposing team. A limited number of revives by team members is available. The team that first wins 6 rounds wins the match.
After each match, you will receive “Trials of the Nine” tokens, which you can redeem for Trials Engrams with the emissary. Additionally, you will receive extra rewards for 3, 5, and 7 match victories. If you achieve a flawless run (7 wins without a loss), you can collect an extra bonus. If you have 3 match losses on the ticket, you must start over.
In the Trials of the Nine, there is no matchmaking. You must assemble your team of 4 players yourself. It is also a “locked-loadout playlist.” This means you cannot change your weapons and armor pieces until you leave the playlist.
