'''The Drifter''' is a [[Crucible]] map located in [[Foundling's Gyre]] in the [[Reef]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/Crucible_Arenas#The_Drifter|The Drifter]]''</ref>

==Description==
According to insignia and banners around the [[Pilot Servitor]], this [[Ketch]] might have belonged to the [[House of Winter]]. Looking through a breach in the port side bay, large and heavily damaged spacecraft—presumably [[Golden Age]] in origin—can be seen drifting alongside the vessel. No other spacecraft are seen in vicinity, yet given that both craft were abandoned in their present orbit and lack of interest by the Reef, they have yet to be reclaimed or disapproved for use as Crucible arenas.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyLore/comments/52o3tv/crucible_maps_exploration_and_minor_details/ Crucible Maps Exploration and minor Details]</ref>

==Grimoire description==
''ARENA DESIGNATION: The Drifter''<br>
''LOCATION: Foundling's Gyre, The Reef''<br>

''[[Hive]] incursions in [[Reef]] space are rare, but as with all wounds the Hive inflict, their effects linger.''

''“The Drifter” is a [[Ketch]] that faced an infraction. The attack rendered its [[Servitor]] inoperable, overwhelming all self-repair subroutines, and so what remains has quietly been added to the graveyard encircling the Reef.''

''Lord Shaxx decreed live combat within the layout of such a prominent [[Fallen]] ship design would be invaluable, and the Crucible claimed it soon after with no word of disapproval from the shattered Reef.''

==Strategies==
Due to the Drifter's small and enclosed design, close range weapons such as [[Fusion Rifle]]s and [[Shotgun]]s are favored, however long range weapons such as [[Hand Cannon]]s and [[Sniper Rifle]]s can be useful in the center room of the map where the Pilot Servitor is located. Supers such as [[Fist of Havoc]], [[Shadowshot]], and [[Sunsinger]] can easily close off valuable pathways to coral enemies to be killed or prevent them from reaching important places such as where the Heavy Ammo spawns or exits from choke points, meanwhile supers like [[Golden Gun]], [[Nova Bomb]], and [[Hammer of Sol]] can win important fights in the open areas due to their oppressive ranged abilities.
