Rumble

"Watch your back, Guardian. No one else will."

— Lord Shaxx.

Rumble is a Crucible match type.

Overview

Rumble is a 6 player free-for-all Crucible mode. Points are gained through scoring kills against enemy players. A standard kill grants a player 100 points, but certain types of kills grant bonus points (e.g. headshots). Level advantages are disabled in this mode. Whoever has the most points at the end wins, earning the "Alone at The Top" medal. Earning more points than all other players combined earns the player a "Sum of All Tears" medal.

Strategy

Unlike other gametypes, the player is alone requiring a very different form of play. Smaller maps are featured in the playlist, so player density is typically high, meaning engagements will occur often between the six players. The best path to success to to lock down one area and control it, a place with both Special and Heavy Ammo crates is suggested. These areas are high-medium traffic, and players will often come to you, giving you an advantage to prepare for their approach. Heavy Ammo is the most important it's ever been on this gametype, and saving your Super in order to properly secure it is almost a requirement.

Related modes

Mayhem Rumble features the basic free-for-all gameplay of Rumble, but all Guardian abilities—grenades, melee charges and Super attacks—recharge much faster than in a normal Rumble match. Ammunition crates for both Special and Heavy Weapons spawn much more often than normal, making it possible for Guardians to make more use of their special (Fusion Rifles, Shotguns etc.) and heavy weapons (Rocket Launchers, Swords etc.) than usual.
