In the MMO shooter Destiny 2, the Trials of the Nine begin today, on October 6th. Which map will be played, what is the mode?
Today, Friday, marks the start of the fourth Trials in the history of Destiny 2. You can use this to warm up for the first Iron Banner event in Destiny 2.
As soon as the Trials of the Nine conclude on October 10th at 11 AM, Lord Saladin will arrive in the Tower to gather the Guardians for the Iron Banner. In the coming days, the PvP fans among you will have plenty to do.
This week’s Trials of the Nine will be played in the Survival mode. They take place on the map The Death Cliffs.
What are the Trials of the Nine in the Survival mode?
This time you will be fighting in the Trials in the “Survival” mode. It’s a round-based PvP mode.
You compete in teams of four against each other, with all four players per team sharing a limited number of lives. If a Guardian on your team is defeated, it costs you one life. If you defeat an opposing Guardian, it costs the opponent one life. The defeated Guardian respawns automatically after a few seconds. Reviving by teammates is not possible.
If all lives are used up, you cannot respawn anymore. If the team that has no lives left is completely defeated, a round is over. Win multiple rounds to decide the match.
After each match, you will receive “Trials of the Nine” tokens, which you can redeem at the vendor for Trials engrams. Additionally, you will receive extra rewards for 3, 5, and 7 wins. If you achieve a flawless run (7 wins without a loss), you can claim an extra reward. If you have 3 losses on the ticket, you must start over.
In the Trials of the Nine, there is no matchmaking. You need to 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.
