The '''Crucible''' is a player vs. player game mode in ''[[Destiny]]''.<ref>[http://gamerant.com/destiny-competitive-multiplayer-crucible-previews/ '''Gamerant''' - ''‘Destiny’ Brings on Competitive Multiplayer in the Crucible]</ref> Items bought or earned in other parts of the game can be used in the Crucible, whereas purchasing items for playing in the crucible can be used in the rest of the game. The Crucible will randomly reward players after matches, while players can also purchase weapons from the [[Arcite 99-40|Crucible Quartermaster]] and [[Armor]] and [[Shaders]] from [[Lord Shaxx]] and [[Lord Saladin]]. Faction vendors will also sell Crucible gear branded with their faction logos, but require faction reputation as well.

All maps are completely separate and unique from explorable locations in the game. Each map will feature nearly all game modes on them. Players start out with ammo for their primary weapon, and a small amount for their special weapon; throughout each map, there are multiple chests of special ammo, and  Heavy ammo chests appear in the middle of the match that replenish more slowly than special ammo chests. Anyone who opens a chest gains heavy ammo for themselves, and any teammates that are close by.<ref name = "Blindwatch">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y50O1SMnPO8 '''Youtube''': ''Destiny Map Tour: Mars - Blind Watch - IGN First'']</ref>

Level advantages are normally disabled in the Crucible in order to have an even playing field. The two exceptions to this are the [[Iron Banner]] and the [[Trials of Osiris]], where level advantages are enabled. This means that having high-level gear matters in these events. Also, Crucible [[Bounty|bounties]] can be completed in Iron Banner matches, whereas Iron Banner bounties must be completed in Iron Banner matches. In addition to standard Crucible bounties, every week Lord Shaxx has a set of weekly bounties that are more difficult to complete. Completing every single one will reward a [[Nightfall]]-tier reward (namely, a legendary or exotic piece of gear).
