Bungie has revealed some statistics about the Crucible in Destiny. This includes three “secret weapons” that PvP enthusiasts should check out at least once.
PvP fans are currently being treated to a wealth of content: numerous Crucible modes, the Trials of Osiris every week, and occasionally the Iron Banner – last week even featured a new 2v2 event for Valentine’s Day. Guardians preferring to battle computer opponents are left wanting. At least it was recently announced that PvE content will be coming soon.
In this article, we want to take a closer look at the Crucible: Bungie has revealed some interesting statistics and mentioned three “secret weapons“. Let’s take a look at them.
The best focuses – sorted by mode
First, we want to consider which focuses have caused the most ruckus in the Crucible. Bungie revealed these sorted by mode. Importantly: All this data comes from the end of 2015. So they are a bit aged.
- Control: Sunbreaker
According to Bungie, the Titan with the Sunbreaker focus dominates this 6v6 game mode. Swinging the hammer in Control doesn’t hurt – only the others. - Conflict: Gunslinger
The Gunslingers are apparently the deadliest killers in Conflict, where there are no control points to capture. - Rift: Defender
This is quite interesting: According to Bungie, defenders in Rift have nearly double the success rate of any other subclass across all game modes. The Bubble seems to shine particularly in Rift. Strong performance from the Defender! - Skirmish: Sunsinger, Striker
In Skirmish, a smaller game mode, the Warlocks dominate, but the Strikers are close behind. - Elimination: Stormcaller, Gunslinger, Sunbreaker, Striker
In this mode, no single focus stands out. Each class has its strengths here. - Rumble: Striker
Here too, a Titan focus is dominant. Following the Striker in second place is the Stormcaller.
At this point, it is interesting to note that the Titan provides a strong focus in nearly all game modes.
Jon Weisnewski and Sage Merrill, two lead sandbox designers at Bungie, have some adjustments for the Warlock and Hunter in mind for the future. Additionally, they want to highlight the various playstyles more.
Jon also added that he would like to see Private Matches in the future. This wish has been frequently and emphatically expressed in the community. However, he could not say anything concrete about it yet.
Specifically, the following weapons stand out as statistical outliers from the mass. We will present these secret weapons in the Crucible on the following pages.
