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
