Published on: Oct 6, 2014 @ 22:24 Destiny’s PvP, which takes place in an arena known as the Crucible, can be a very satisfying yet equally frustrating experience. Bungie’s matchmaking actually attempts to place you in matches with similarly skilled players, so if you play consistently for a few days, the system has time to properly evaluate you and start matching you with other players right around your skill level. Though we’ve posted Crucible tips in the past, this guide will further expand on those and will also get you ready for the ultimate test of skill in the Iron Banner. [divider] Game Mode
