In the MMO shooter Destiny , the Trials of Osiris start on Friday evening, January 1, 2016, with the classic.
“The Burning Shrine” was the first map where Trials of Osiris took place. For the new year, Bungie chose this map to kick things off.
The Burning Shrine is considered “the ideal map” for the Trials of Osiris. It’s hard to argue with that. This event was originally designed for this map – it’s the one that started it all.
Our friend Nexxoss presented the Burning Shrine as an Osiris map in Year 1. We present you the video from the summer of 2015. If you needed more tips for the map, check out this article. The meta-game has changed a bit since then; currently, scout rifles and snipers are even more popular than before, but the general direction should be correct.
The Trials of Osiris themselves are 3v3 fights in Elimination mode: Once you’re dead, you can be revived by teammates, so it’s important to keep your comrades alive and prevent the enemies from getting their people back up. Because of this somewhat special play style, exotic armor pieces like the Mark of Alpha Lupi are popular.
Most loot comes from bounties, but there’s also a big reward for the flawless run on Mercury – primary weapons with an extra gimmick. If you want to succeed on Mercury, you should find a good team, work on communication and teamwork, and ideally unlock all bonuses on the passage card; then you don’t need a 9-0, a 7-1 will do. An important ingredient as well: luck with the lag!
The Trials of Osiris are active until Tuesday morning.
With 5 and 7 wins on the scoreboard, there are also fixed rewards in Destiny. We will provide those shortly:
- With 5 wins, this time there’s a helmet.
- With 7 wins, there’s the Osiris scout rifle.
Currently, the Iron Banner event is still running until Tuesday morning. That will also end at 10:00 AM. This morning Xur came to the Tower, and he will remain with us until Sunday at 10:00 AM.
Good luck in the new year, Guardian!
