So you may have already run out of things to do on Destiny.
If you like something "new" to do you could try this "game mode".
So you may be asking, what is this " Survival mode"
On the Crota's end raid at the last part were you form the bridge instead of going towards the light you turn around and you'll see the 3 lamps that are on that part, that's where the Survival mode takes place.
There an endless swarm of enemies will greet you ready to kill you.
The lamp to the right is were you start, that is the easiest side of the three, each lamp is a side.
Our rules are:
[spoiler]Feel free to add your own rules[/spoiler]
Each 5 min you have to change sides.
You can screw with your teammates to be the final champion of the Survival.
Now there are the two difficulties:
Normal: Team based survival, how long can you fight the darkness before it gets you?

[b]Other Game Types:[/b]
[b]iiNuDLzii[/b]
[b]Chalice Holder:[/b]
Get a team of 6 and do Crota normal mode until Crota himself. Start the fight.
Objective is to hold the Chalice as long as possible. If you hold it, try to flee from your team mates which can steal it from you. Mates try to steal the chalice from each other all the time. When somebody dies, just wipe and on the Deathscreen you can see who's the winner by looking at the time somebody hold the chalice.
Now this isn't a complete game mode and you most likely will have fun with it a few hours but its a nice small thing to do in Destiny.

Or try kill guardians on pvp only using shoulder charge, thats so funny.
-
Everyone already knew this
-
Used to do this a lot when the raid was still relevant and I was looking for "secrets". They must have changed something because before I would run through the abyss, get to the bridge, and then start killing everything. It would only spawn 89 enemies every time. Seriously. 6 ogres, 8 Knights, and the rest thrall. After that I would be free to walk back and explore unbothered by enemies. Each time, at the wipe screen it would be 89 kills 1 death. I used to have fun with this and will have to try it again if it spawns unlimited enemies now.
-
yep ive done that several times. almost funner than glitching the templars well on vog. boy have i done some sick titan smashes from up there
-
Boring
-
For people without three max characters it is quite fun to run a low level character when "the enemy moves against each other". The sheer volume of mobs combined with your low damage output makes for some hairy encounters. Honestly, if you simply bought some low level vanguard gear it would probably work the same way.
-
Try doing hard crota with six sunsingers and make ir to end with out touching one lamp.

Edited by BusterLegacyFF7: 12/2/2015 9:34:43 PMMy friends and I were doing this one night. Was going to make a forum post but was too lazy Edit: finished reading your post. Between a Defender, A Sunbreaker, and two Bound By Blood Tethers we racked up around 6000 kills innhalf an hour
-
Bungie should release an actuall survival mode where every round you survive you get a chest, and higher rounds grant better rewards. It would be much better than "challenge" mode.
-
[b][i]Unassisted[/i][/b] You are unable to use supers and grenades
-
Was wondering when someone would put this up. Been doing this time to time as it's one of the most fun things. Need to have a rule where no bad juju allowed as you can solo hard even with it.
-
That sound awesome! Just two things: I think that's kind of similar to PoE I think it should literally be [i]endless[/i] similar to CoD zombies. Also I think that it could turn in to some lthing like loot fave so there would have to be a change in the RNG of engrams
-
Better than Bungie's challenge mode...
-
Definitely lots of fun.

Edited by chickengoujohn93: 12/2/2015 9:12:50 PMAll in the name of the lack of content/blasting through TTK in the first week... Just saying. Nothing against OP.
-
you must be a real fagget
-
I've done this before sadly no good rewards.
-
Give it to me.
-
Here's a Challenge: [b][i]Solo Survival[/i][/b] [spoiler]Minds Blown[/spoiler]
-
Its the. New loot cave
-
Did it got 1000 kills got bored
-
Can someone reply so I can check later
-
Edited by astralouroboros: 12/2/2015 8:23:17 PMI did this once to see how long id survive with ogres nights and thralls endlessly surrounding me Check my profile and see the most kills I got in a single life in Croats end That was done with a dregs promise It's a darn shame kills in that area don't count towards grimoire or id have my sidearms completed already I was also solo at the time and this was done before TTK release
-
Very creative but I'm just counting down until I get Witcher or Fallout. We need more content and a reason to play, not new ways to grind
-
A survival mode should be implemented into Destiny. With bosses and everything. Not like PoE
-
You should read a book. They always spark something in my imagination that keeps me entertained. I never get to bored.
