Trials of Osiris: Difference between revisions

The Trials of Osiris use a variant of the [[Skirmish]] game type called Elimination, with two teams of three players competing against each other. Matches consist of a number of 2 minute rounds; a team wins the round by completely wiping the other team. Winning a round gains a team 1 point toward victory, and the first team to 5 points wins the match. Players can be revived by teammates at the site of their death (Fireborn [[Sunsinger]]s can also revive themselves). The first team to eliminate the other completely wins the round. If the match goes into overtime, the first team to secure a capture point that appears in the middle of the map wins the match. Failing that, whoever is closest to the capture point wins. Heavy ammo only drops after one team has won 3 rounds, and heavy ammo does not carry into the next round. Supers and special ammo do carry over, however.

Further differences between the Trials and standard Skirmish include: the Trials take place on only one map each week; player level advantages are enabled as in the [[Iron Banner]]; fireteam matchmaking is disabled, requiring players to manually assemble a full fireteam of three. Lastly, players can play for a maximum of nine wins or three losses on a single passage, whichever comes first. Quitting counts as a loss.

Players who have a Flawless Scorecard (nine wins, zero losses) are able to visit [[The Lighthouse]] on [[Mercury]]. Rewards include Osiris-themed gear and an exclusive, limited-time [[Emblems|emblem]]. At the launch of ''House of Wolves'', the emblem was the exotic-tier "Eye of Osiris" (currently the only exotic emblem in the game); ''[[The Taken King]]'' featured "Hic Jacet"; and the ''[[April Update]]'' introduced "Bastet's Dream". Once an emblem has been rotated out, it can no longer be obtained.
