Fresh information about the new PVP mode Survival has arrived in Destiny 2. Here’s what you need to do in this Battle Royale mode.
A limited number of lives, no respawns, and coordinated team play should represent the core mechanics of the new game mode Survival in Destiny 2.
In this mode, you must stay alive at all costs. Because if too many players die, it’s game over. This encourages a team-oriented and cautious playstyle, mistakes are punished.
Testers describe Survival as a mode that is strongly driven by the team concept and is not really intended for random groups. Unlike the Trials of Osiris, this mode is still meant to feel more “casual”.

The lucky ones who have already played this mode see Survival as a fantastic addition to the PVP mode of Destiny 2 and hope for many more modes that emphasize team play.
The Altar of Flames – the new map on Mercury
In addition to the new game mode, a new map has also been introduced. The Altar of Flames is located on Mercury. It is a medium-sized map with some sniper lanes as well as opportunities for battles at medium and close range.
The power ammo is located fairly centrally on the map, which means that players will encounter each other while picking up ammunition and will have to fight over the coveted ammo.
The design of the map strongly resembles a mix of the Lighthouse from Destiny 1 and the map Vertigo. You can check out a walkthrough of the map in the following video:
Testers positively highlight that the map can be played with many different weapon combinations, it does not favor a one-sided playstyle.
