For the first few weeks of Trials of the Nine, nearly every player ran the MIDA Multi-tool scout rifle and the Uriel’s Gift auto rifle.īut the problems with Trials of the Nine also stemmed from rewards. Without these high damage weapons accessible at the start of each round, players all defaulted to the same kinds of builds. This change hit the Crucible the hardest, removing many of the one-hit kill weapons that reward skill over spraying and praying. In vanilla Destiny 2, Bungie relegated weapons like sniper rifles, shotguns, and fusion rifles to the heavy weapon slot - alongside the usual suspects like rocket launchers and swords.

But after three losses, players would need to cash in their card - for rewards based on their wins - and get another one before queuing back up. For every victory they’d get a checkmark on their Trials of Osiris scorecard (up to nine). Players would form a group of three, and venture into a unique playlist against other Trials of Osiris hopefuls. Trials of Osiris was a 3v3, competitive multiplayer mode in the original Destiny that ran Friday-Tuesday each week. What was Trials of Osiris?
