Destiny 2’s PVP upgrade starts with new rewards for Competitive Crucible modes

Destiny 2 is receiving a PvP upgrade in the form of new rewards for players who partake in the competitive Crucible mode.

Bungie’s sci-fi looter shooter Destiny 2 is quite literally all about looting and shooting. It’s about finding the perfect pieces of gear for your guardian, building insanely powerful builds, and decimating the enemies of humanity with it. From exotic weapons and armor, all the way to how you optimize your stats, the grind for the min-maxed guardian will never end.

With the introduction of random rolls back in Forsaken, players can spend hours on hours on end trying to find the best possible rolls on weapons and armor. Some of the best armor available in Destiny 2 is artifice armor, which contains a bonus mod slot that allows players to pick a +3 bonus to any stat.

Now as an incentive to get players into the competitive PvP mode, Bungie is introducing Artifice Armor as a reward for partaking in the Crucible.

Bungie introduces new rewards for competitive Crucible

The most recent TWID announced that devs will be introducing Artifice Armor as a once-a-week reward for players who participate in the mode. This is the first time Artifice Armor is being added into the mode, with Bungie wanting the Crucible to feel just as rewarding as its PvE counterpart.

The devs are also reintroducing old Crucible armor sets as Artifice Armor, giving them a new lease on life. Bungie did mention that they’ll be keeping dungeon Artifice Armor drops to the dungeons they’re associated with, meaning you won’t be able to grab any of them for armor synthesis purposes.

Alongside this, the devs are adding in an increased drop chance for Exotic weapon catalysts on PvP victories. According to Bungie, “This offers a meaningful way to upgrade a Guardian’s Power while rewarding continued Competitive success.”

It appears that Bungie is still continuing to revamp and improve the Crucible over time, meaning we may see more updates leading up to The Final Shape.
