The Crucible team at Bungie has been hard at work over the last few months, digesting player feedback and tuning the experience. Normally we’d have a Crucible representative jump in to give some commentary on goals, but they’re currently all hands on deck working on the future of the Crucible. Here’s a quick Patch Notes preview for what you can expect to become available when Update 1.2.3 is released on July 17, 2018:

• Quickplay
  • Increasing player configuration to 6v6 and updating the playlist description
  • Removing Supremacy from the pool of available game modes
  • Control
    • Updating Control win score to 150
    • Control Zones will initially be neutral
  • Clash
    • Updating Clash win score to 100

• Competitive
  • • Bomb Fuse timer in Countdown lowered from 40 seconds to 35 seconds

• General
  • Rumble will become a full-time playlist
  • Supremacy will be added to the weekly featured playlist, updated to 6v6, and have a win score of 150

• Players will be able to earn Valor rank from additional playlists:
  • Competitive
  • Crucible Labs
  • Iron Banner
  • Trials of The Nine

• Joining a game in progress will protect your Valor Win Streak for that game
  • If you lose: No penalties incurred to your Valor Win Streak
  • If you win: Valor Win Streak increases

• Players will be matched using their Glory rank
  • This means your opponents will be of similar rank to you
  • The higher you climb, the tougher the opponent

• Glory Loss Streaks will be re-tuned to be less punishing over time
  • Consecutive losses will decrease the Rank Points lost instead of increasing
  • Streaks will still cap out at 5

• All Rank Streaks will no longer reset once they hit their cap
