In the MMO shooter Destiny 2, the Trials of the Nine begin today, on November 24th. What map will be played? Which game mode is featured?
Currently, you can dive into the Iron Banner in November and shoot each other there. If you already have the coveted loot and possess the Iron Banner emblem for Season 1, the PvP fans among you can find variety in the Trials of the Nine starting today.
This week’s Trials of the Nine will be played on the map The Fortress. The game mode is Countdown. The PvP event starts on November 24th at 6 PM and ends at the next weekly reset – on November 28th at 10 AM.
What are the Trials of the Nine with the Countdown mode?
This time you will fight in the Trials in the “Countdown” mode. It is a round and objective-based PvP mode.
You compete in teams of four, with each round alternating the offensive and defensive roles between the teams:
- If you are the offensive team, you must 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 has successfully executed 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 with the vendor for Trials engrams. Additionally, you will receive extra rewards for 3, 5, and 7 match victories. If you manage a flawless run (7 wins without a loss), you can pick up an extra reward. If you accumulate 3 match losses on your ticket, you must start over.
In the Trials of the Nine, there is no matchmaking. You must assemble your team of 4 players yourself. Additionally, it is a “locked-loadout playlist”. This means you cannot change your weapons and armor pieces until you leave the playlist.
