In the MMO shooter Destiny, hints of a new Crucible mode have surfaced. In Inferno, according to a Grimoire card, there will be no Supers, no radar, and no bonuses.
Dataminers had previously spotted a new Crucible mode: “Inferno.” The data was included in the 2.4 gigabyte patch 1.0.3, which was released a few weeks ago, saving players from having to download “Darkness Awaits” extensively. According to dataminers, Inferno is intended for a variety of activities, such as Control, Salvage, Rumble, Clash, and Skirmish.
So far, this wasn’t particularly exciting because no one knew what to expect from “Inferno.” That has now changed.
A user on reddit found a Grimoire card inscribed with “Inferno.” It reads the following:
“A modified variant of multiple Crucible match types, Inferno tests your Light against the darkest of conditions.
Darkness prevails, leaving Guardians to rely on their weaponry and combat skills alone. The enemy can only be found by sight and sound alone. Rely on your teammates and keen tracking to stalk your enemies and shut them down without the trust in your most powerful abilities.
True skill put to the ultimate test. No trackers. No Supers. No bonuses. Only kills earn points.“
Hardcore Crucible Mode: A kind of pizza without anything for Destiny?
We translate freely: Inferno is a modified Crucible variant where players rely solely on their weapons and combat skills. Opposing players can only be seen or heard. Guardians must rely on their teammates and senses to track down and eliminate enemies. They cannot rely on their most powerful abilities.
This is the ultimate test of true skill. No trackers. No Supers. No bonuses. Only kills earn points.
As mentioned: For now, this is still in the “might” phase, not the “will” phase. Just like the event “Trials of Osiris”, about which we know almost everything, just not whether it will actually happen and if so, when. In any case, a diverse mode that might appeal to some shooter fans. Or a terrible camping fest, as some already fear.
