PvP in Destiny 2 has always had a bit of a tumultuous past. The game, which primarily focused on the story and PvE often left player versus player action behind. This resulted in PvP going unchanged for quite some time, with mains of the mode feeling like Bungie had completely forgotten about the player base. Since that time Bungie has looked to rectify this, introducing new changes to the mode, bringing it more in line with the quality of their PvE experiences. This includes putting Artifice Armor into the reward pool for ranked play, trying out new game modes, and more. Bungie often does this through Crucible Labs, which is essentially the developers testing grounds for new modes. Now they\u2019re introducing a new modifier to Checkmate, which will completely take away abilities, much to the enthusiasm of players. Many Destiny 2 players have rejoiced at the introduction of Hardware, a modifier for the Crucible Labs mode Checkmate. \u201cIt\u2019s no abilities, only weapons! Grab Special and Heavy ammo from crates located around the map and get to shooting,\u201d the TWID reads. Players were ecstatic to see the new gun-focused mode. \u201cI might start playing PvP again\u2026\u201d one player pondered. \u201cFinally a guns-only PvP mode, I\u2019ve been wanting this for a while,\u201d another agreed. Many began to joke about Hardware, keen to see how this new take on PvP would change the player base. \u201cFinally my claims of \u201cTitan BS\u201d will be proven true or false. Probably false, I\u2019m probably a lot worse than I think.\u201d one declared. \u201cLmao can\u2019t wait to see people still suck and then blame exotic weapons are a problem,\u201d another joked. Checkmate: Hardware will be introduced to Crucible Labs in Patch 7.3.6, meaning players should get hyped for a new take on the PvP formula.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Destiny 2 players rejoice as Bungie removes abilities in new Crucible Labs mode BungieDestiny 2 PvP players have rejoiced after Bungie announced they\u2019d be introducing an ability-free modifier for the Crucible Labs playlist.
