Megathread [D2] Trials of Osiris Megathread [2025-09-05]
Trials of Osiris is LIVE
This thread is for all general discussion, questions, thoughts, musings, wonderings, etc. for the Trials of Osiris.
FAQ
What are the Trials of Osiris?
Trials of Osiris is the pinnacle PvP activity. Every weekend, players compete in a 3v3 game mode with one primary goal: Go to the Lighthouse.
To start, head to Saint-14 in the Tower Hangar and buy one of the possible passages (see below).
The Lighthouse Passage grants entry to the Lighthouse after reaching 7 wins, with better rewards for larger win streaks.
For those not interested in visiting the Lighthouse, a lower-stakes Passage is available.
Matchmaking parameters are based on Passage.
There is fireteam matchmaking. However, we still recommend you find a team for yourself!
How Long do the Trials of Osiris last?
Event Starts: Every Friday at Daily Reset (1700 UTC).
Event Ends: Following Tuesday at Weekly Reset (1700 UTC).
Where do I go to find Guardians to team up with?
- You can use the in-game Fireteam Finder or head over to /r/Fireteams, www.The100.io, Xbox LFG system, DestinyLFG.net or DestinyLFG.com, or go to the Bungie.net recruitment forum (also available through the Bungie App). Additionally, many Discord servers host fireteam LFG services.
What if I have a question about another piece of armor/weapon or general Trials question?
- Use Control + F (Or Command + F if on a Mac) and search for keywords in your question. Someone may have asked it already. If not, ask below in the comments.

I love how overwhelmingly overpowered certain loadouts are. To the point where you are literally throwing the game unless you run them.
Very fair. Very balanced.

u/DepletedMitochondria 1d ago
Still hilarious to me they added lobby balancing and are pretending it's unintentional

u/Bob_The_Moo_Cow88 2d ago
The fact that Bungie has left lobby balancing in for weeks after they admitted to it pretty much shows what they think about the PvP mains.

u/BrakeBiasBro 3d ago
I love how I keep running into triple homing knives hunter every match, itās making me want to play trials reeeeaaal bad /s
I guess Iāll just wait till next week, maybe then I can play something other than hunter to.. have fun.
3
u/SCPF2112 3d ago
it won't be much different next week. A .1 second delay on the knife activation isn't going to slow it down and hunters of one flavor or another will still be around 45% or so of total

u/BrakeBiasBro 3d ago
Then I guess itās back to iRacing for me until it gets sorted.. if ever. If itās not knives itās the arc wave melee.. ffs bungie.

u/Lyrcmck_ 2d ago
Why is that Arc attack so powerful. If it doesn't somehow 1-hit you, it completely disorientates you, and they can follow up with a melee faster than you can really recover most of the time. Like even the Titan Solar hammer slam is a two stage attack, and almost always, both stages have to hit for it to kill.

Enjoy your nerfs hunters, you deserve it

u/PixelatedVision1 2d ago
Please, I hate hunters with the best of them, but this isn't going to change anything; they'll just switch to void.

Meh, would rather shoot my gun and win anyways, will be interesting going back to everyone standing still behind a barricade or warlock rift per usual

u/Lyrcmck_ 2d ago edited 2d ago
Yeah when all is said and done, I don't want to hear any bitching about these nerfs. I'm not one to say "fuck content creators" but in this case, fuck em. This current meta is a direct result of YouTubers making videos showing off these builds. You can tell too because the random weekend this all started appearing, you could see a certain YouTuber had uploaded a guide on it the night before that specific weekend of Trials had started.
Almost all of the teams I've matched against have at least 2 people in the other team running this build, and are really sweaty with it, meanwhile I've got people in my team running PVE loadouts charging the initial spawn peak and getting picked off within 10 seconds of the round starting.
It's a combination of factors that just make Trials more frustrating than it is fun, and tbh, I don't see how that's healthy for the game.

u/mariachiskeleton 2d ago
Word spreads, it isn't reliant on content creators.
Either you see people chirping about it, or you die to something enough that you start checking loadouts. Really not that complicated.
Do you think a meta wouldn't form without content creators?

u/justdestinystuff 2d ago
what were the builds? iāve been so outta the loop i havenāt kept up or played trials in a long long time. even if itās nerfed now, still curious

u/Rygy221 1d ago
I haven't done Trials since before the big changes to how everything works happened during The Final Shape. Dipped my toes in today to get the Conditional Finality ornament before it left, and unfortunately didn't get any ghost shell while going through the matches. Is there an optimal way to farm them? Any specific passage, high win streaks, etc? Been wanting the Lantern Shell for a long time but have never gotten any of the Trials cosmetics.

u/Neff_Kade 3d ago
Does bungie not see 46% of the player base playing only Hunter a problem?
6
u/superisma 3d ago
they see players still playing this game. so no. picture common sense but then include incompetence, you are on the way
4
u/Suspicious-Drama8101 2d ago
Thats not a metric they care about since its been that way for 3 years. They only care about out engagement metrics. Doesn't matter if 99% are hunters.
1
u/SCPF2112 1d ago
It isn't "a problem" any more than having lots of warlocks and titans was "a problem" back when they got "free" rounds with their supers. B rotates what is good. This is the game.

u/superisma 3d ago
imagine trials actually being a good experience. its nice to see bungie catering to the 5 players at the top of pvp. this will keep the game from collapsing for sure

u/Wolf73 2d ago
My Trials suddenly switched to weekly performance-based matchmaking despite me not having gone flawless this week (6 streak max). It even says so when I hover over the trials node. All my lobbies are super sweaty and everyone has a red glow. Any way I can reset this? I already tried buying the other passage and switching to my Titan but nothing seems to reset it.

u/Asleep_Nectarine5423 1d ago
Nah I have open skill and Iām carrying every game itās actually dumb how many games I just carried just now itās unbelievable cuz I donāt carry anyone ever and Iām not saying Iām bad Iām saying Iām not gonna sit here and tell you I can 1v3 a team 4 rounds in a row. And why is open skill on the flawless passage!?

u/h34vier boop! 1d ago
Is there any point where my team mates stop running off and suiciding in the first 5 seconds of every round?
:(
2
u/Lyrcmck_ 1d ago
No. Pretty much been my experience most of the weekend. 90% of my matches have been either AFK teammate/s or they'll just peak the spawn lane and die.
Between the fact this map is fucking horrible, the current hunter throwing knife meta, and the fact they "accidentally" added Lobby Balancing and it's made the matches heavily lopsided (complete opposite of what it should be doing), meaning you will lose simply because the game put the better players in one team, trials genuinely isn't worth playing for the casual player.
This has been the worst weekend since EoFs launch.
2
u/sasschan_ow 1d ago
Went 7-0, went to Lighthouse at 402 Light, got 2x tier 5 helmets, a single tier 4 chest piece, and some enhancement prisms. This shit is not worth it man. I didn't even get a fucking gun out of this.

u/Advance-Calm 1d ago
I am by no means a pvp god, but can usually hold my own/ be top 3 in almost every crucible match and hold a 1.5+ in majority of my comp games.
That being said. Wtf is happening with trials matchmaking. Elo is tanking from playing 2.5k+ elo teams every match and getting stomped, when I hover between 1300-1500. There is no enjoyment in this game mode anymore, the competitive feel of trials is gone, itās either my team rolls a team once and then the next 5 games we just get shit on. Thereās no joy of a strategic fight and hardly ever a close game.
Last weekend was the rare outlier where there were a handful of games that were that way and made me realize how much I miss that.
Anyone else in the same boat? Or is my match making just cursed š
(Also I know I should just āget gudā hahaā)
3
u/SCPF2112 1d ago
Low population, so a lot of good players team up and you match them. "Git gud" would usually be the phrase, or get used to it, or play in a trio. You can't do much else about it if you are going to keep playing

u/h34vier boop! 2d ago
Destiny is the only game I've ever played with competitive modes that does not use SBMM. All because the streamers and sweats cry about having to play people their skill level instead of pub stomping.
At the very least there should be a strict solo queue with SBMM.
3
u/PixelatedVision1 2d ago
but there is SBMM, in the trials of osiris passage
1
u/h34vier boop! 2d ago
I thought it was all CBMM still? Because otherwise bungo thinks Iām a god and I can carry 2 people which I absolutely cannot. š

u/SCPF2112 1d ago
No, it is weekly performance based matchmaking as it has been the whole time that card has existed. But.. as you have noted , when no one is playing the game can't make that work
3
u/Sharp-Reference-3196 2d ago
There is sbmm through the passages and there is currently lobby balancing as well.
Just play comp though if you want sbmm

u/h34vier boop! 2d ago
Iām just playing trials for the rewards honestly. I was playing it to level, it was really fast to 450 compared to everything else.
2
u/Sharp-Reference-3196 2d ago
Idk how you people get to 450, after 400 is insufferable
-2
u/h34vier boop! 2d ago
I did it in trials mostly. I got probably 3-4 primes/hr and +1ās after I got a prime. It wasnāt bad. Just donāt worry about winning just get a few kills. Primes do not seem to matter how you do win or loss. They just seem to be a random drop at the end of a match because Iāve gotten them on losses where I got steamrolled by a 3 stack and wins where I too fragged. It didnāt seem to matter.
Just play and donāt let it get to you and youāll level quick. It took maybe 2 weekends to go from 400 to 450.
3
u/Sharp-Reference-3196 2d ago
I played 30 games last week and got a single prime, itās all luck tbh
I actually donāt know how 3/4 an hour is possible, my lowest prime drop is 7 games which is about an hour for 1
1
u/h34vier boop! 2d ago
Idk tbh I wasnāt keeping track time wise but it was pretty often. Like every 3-4 games or so. Maybe more.
But I did level really quickly, way faster than solo ops. I was making about 10ish power a night.
I hit 450 last week Iām just doing it now for tier 5 rolls.
Youāre right tho it is RNG. I guess I had good RNG for once.

u/duckyducky5dolla From namesless to midnight 2d ago
Trials is not meant to be competitive, it is a tournament style to 7 wins 0 losses.
If you want competitive gameplay you play compā¦
2
u/SCPF2112 1d ago
There is weekly performance based matchmaking on the non-LH card. Try that. Of course when population is super low it doesn't work, but neither does any SBMM

u/MintyFitOnAll 1h ago
Can someone tell me if Trials cosmetics are bugged? Iāve won 17 games AFTER going flawless and no goddamn ship Iām missing. What is going on.

u/basturmated 3d ago
is this week the start of focused weapons in Trials again? or is that not until next week?

u/h34vier boop! 3d ago
I know everyone's going to say matching stacks doesn't lose your streak but I just matched a stack and lost my streak. Again.
wtf is going on with that? did they change it?
2
u/IAmATriceratopsAMA 3d ago
I matched a stack and lost last week and kept my streak, so if they did change something it was in the last few days. I don't think they've pushed an update though
-1
u/h34vier boop! 3d ago
Is it only 3 stacks? I thought it was 2 stacks also.

u/Lyrcmck_ 2d ago edited 2d ago
No. They don't want solo players matching full teams, but it can always happen, so that's when you get the loss forgiveness. You'll get matched with duos pretty often since it's a 3 man activity and duos will get matched with a solo.
3
u/Bob_The_Moo_Cow88 2d ago
It works on duos too. You are wrong.
0
u/Lyrcmck_ 2d ago
What context though?
Like you're in a full team of solos and there's a duo in the other team?
Most of my trials matches have duos in the other team and I don't see any of my losses being forgiven
0
u/Bob_The_Moo_Cow88 2d ago
A duo just being in the lobby gives it. I believe you just still have to actually try as the solo. I donāt know what the actual stipulations are on that though.

Is anyone else not able to reset their passage..? I donāt even have the option anymore is this a bug or something they have fixed.?
1
u/SCPF2112 1d ago
7 win streaks will do that. It isn't a bug
2
u/Longjumping-Stage343 1d ago
Nah I was only at one win one loss.. had no option to even reset my passage.. bought a new one and now itās working.. mustāve been a bug..

u/the_bald_headed_foot 1d ago
Did you buy the correct passage? Sounds like you got the Osiris passage not the lighthouse passage.

u/Pristine-Desk5012 2d ago
does anyone know what the full fireteam bonus is? like .5 reward multiplier or what?

u/Sco_Noles_ 1d ago
Can I not get any pinnacle loot from trials?
Just need energy and heavy 450 left, Iāve played about 60 games of trials this weekend, went flawless and it still hasnāt given me either of the two slots I need (or ANY 450 item), itās only dropping 449 max.
I was under the impression itās guaranteed to get an upgrade every 20 or so matches?
1
u/SCPF2112 15h ago
Very little is guaranteed. You have a chance based on... we don't know what. Performance in match, win loss, phase of the moon over Bungie HQ? We really don't know. People anecdotally report on their luck, but there is no stated guarantee.

I usually have good weekends on this map. Very good for flanking if you can do it without getting ganked.

u/WasterM31 3d ago
you could also just avoid that lane and go one of the other 2 ways that exist (on both spawns), just saying
3
u/Lyrcmck_ 3d ago edited 3d ago
I can. I'll make sure to tell all my rando teammates that keep charging the same spot and getting picked off immediately round after round, though.

I don't ! I did tho, sadly the game fell off after Final Shape . Sucks, was a such a great game, horrid community in reddit tho, bunch of white knights and don't even get me started on the official forums . Those make Twitter/X/Bluesky look civil! Anyway have a great day . ā¤ļø

u/SFBoarder 3d ago
horrid community in reddit tho, bunch of white knightsĀ
Tell me about it. Always a bunch of redditers who don't or haven't played the game chiming in wanting to be relevant.

u/Qualkore 3d ago
Why are you even here then?

u/OmegaClifton 3d ago
Because they used to like it and are upset that itās going down a path they donāt like. Same as always.
I get its annoying to see, but I feel like it's indicative of at least a portion of community sentiment. I hope Bungie considers all feedback seriously.

u/mariachiskeleton 3d ago
Everything aside... I remember seeing a "roku menu" comment in another thread recently and some people thinking it was clever.
Have a sneaking suspicion they're just looking to use somebody else's line.
