There’s a new mode in Destiny 2 that plans on making history by cramming 16 Guardians into a single lobby. Add Sparrows on top of that and you’ve got a genuinely chaotic Crucible.
Destiny 2’s Crucible is known for pitting Guardians against one another in a test of pure skill. Everything is on the table to take down your opponents by whatever means necessary, including weapons, abilities, and supers.
Of course, the Crucible isn’t all about the rough and tough though, with Bungie introducing plenty of “for fun” modes that play more on the goofy side. One such mode isSparrow Control, which brings the beloved vehicles into the Crucible so you can run over your friends and foes.
Now Bungie is looking to spice up the Crucible again, reintroducing Sparrow Control but with a new twist. This time around, you’ll be playing with 15 other Guardians in the same lobby, guaranteeing chaos will ensue.
Fitting 16 Guardians into a single lobby is no easy feat, and the developers have explained this is a “highly experimental mode.” As such, things could go south pretty quickly, so the devs will monitor its stability and turn it off if necessary.
The mode had seen iterations beforehand, but nothing quite to this scale before, and adding in Sparrows roaming around the map, you’re bound to see some wild plays from highly skilled Guardians.
