{{Quote|What is the Crucible? Before the days of the [[City]] and the [[Iron Lords]], it was a place to pursue vendettas. To battle for territory, and pettier reasons. The whole [[Earth|world]] was a Crucible Arena. The Crucible today? To [[Cayde-6]], it's a gambler's paradise. To [[Commander Zavala|Zavala]], it's a resource sink where equipment goes to die. To [[Ikora Rey|Ikora]], it's home—though she would never admit it. Partial answers. The tactics and techniques that will save us in wars to come are birthed in the Crucible, during live-fire training. The [[Vanguard]] are so preoccupied with their own agendas they're missing the Vanguard of tomorrow rising right before their eyes.|[[Lord Shaxx]]}} | {{Quote|What is the Crucible?

The '''Crucible''' is the player vs. player game mode in ''[[Destiny]]'' and ''[[Destiny 2]]''.<ref>[http://gamerant.com/destiny-competitive-multiplayer-crucible-previews/ '''Gamerant''' - ''‘Destiny’ Brings on Competitive Multiplayer in the Crucible]</ref> Items bought or earned in the game can be used more effectively in the Crucible, and weapons/armor received elsewhere can also be used in the rest of the game. The Crucible will sometimes randomly reward players after matches, regardless of rank after the game, while players can also purchase weapons from the [[Arcite 99-40|Crucible Quartermaster]] as well as [[Armor]] and [[Shaders]] from [[Lord Shaxx]] and [[Lord Saladin]]. | The '''Crucible''' is the player vs. player game mode in ''[[Destiny]]'' and ''[[Destiny 2]]''.<ref>[http://gamerant.com/destiny-competitive-multiplayer-crucible-previews/ '''Gamerant''' - ''‘Destiny’ Brings on Competitive Multiplayer in the Crucible]</ref> Items bought or earned in the game can be used more effectively in the Crucible, and weapons/armor received elsewhere can also be used in the rest of the game.

In a significant change from ''[[Destiny]]'', all Crucible playlists in ''[[Destiny 2]]'' used to be fought by two teams of four players each, except for [[Iron Banner]] which is six versus six. This was changed and now almost every game mode is 6v6. Power weapon ammo distribution has been reworked: Power ammo is now granted more frequently at various terminals across the map, but only a single player can access each drop, and Power ammo is lost on death. However after patch 1.1.4 a player killed while holding Power ammo will a drop brick of Power ammo containing 50% of their remaining ammo. Completing matches earns both gear and reputation tokens (with additional rewards dropped if players use a Boon of The Crucible consumable) to be redeemed for additional rewards at the appropriate vendor. Furthermore, no mode or event has level advantages enabled, ensuring that player skill is equally as important as obtained gear and loadout. The Mercy Rule from ''Destiny'' is enabled in all Quickplay modes, including Mayhem. | In a significant change from ''[[Destiny]]'', all Crucible playlists in ''[[Destiny 2]]'' used to be fought by two teams of four players each, except for [[Iron Banner]] which is six versus six.

*[[Iron Banner]]: 6 vs. 6 endgame mode. The match type can vary. In Year 1, [[Power]] was irrelevant, and bounties and ranks have been replaced by earning Iron Banner Tokens to redeem for Iron Banner Engrams.
