Rift

Rift being approached by a spark runner

"The highest members of the Warlock orders are too proud to acknowledge it, but it's clear a few resented giving up their private game of light-sport. Anything in the name of the Traveler, of course, but If there's anything a Warlock loves, it's a good secret."

— Grimoire blurb.

Rift is a Crucible mode introduced in The Taken King. It is an objective-based capture-the-flag mode where Guardians need to capture a spark and deliver it into the enemy rift to score points. The spark has a shot-clock as well; if the runner does not get the spark into the enemy rift, they will be killed. Points are acquired the following ways:

• Getting the Spark closer to the enemy rift
• Delivering the spark into the rift
• Backflipping while delivering the spark into the rift
• Killing all nearby enemies once the spark has detonated the rift
