WHY DO GRANDMASTER FIRETEAMS OPS HAVE A 15 MINUTE TIMER?
Tell me to 'Git Gud' all you want, but 15 minutes to complete a GM is crazy to me.
Take Inverted Spire, for example... By the time you have done the opening section, got past the locked gate, got to the tank section & crossed the battlefield, THEN cleared the three plates, most people have taken up those 15 minutes, and you're only half way through the Nightfall!
You then have to navigate the rest of the Nightfall flawlessly because the game removes all of your stored up lives.
Pre-Edge Of Fate, we had 45 minutes to complete a Grandmaster Nightfall and now we have 15 minutes? Make it make sense. Please.

Edited by GPrime96: 8/16/2025 9:18:57 PMThe Battlegrounds are even worse, no way you would reach and kill the final boss in, lets say Battleground Conduit, in 15 mins legit unless you’re bursting down everything as fast as possible. I feel like the timer is way too tuned for Solo Ops.

Want to bet they tested it in "dev build" where they're much stronger compared to release version?

15 min gms is pushing speedrun territory. Esp for stuff like liminality. I haven’t had the honor of trying matchmaee fireteam ops, but most of my sherpas for gms in revenant and edge would be 20 mins minimum
-
I’m calling it now, they’re going to put out a statement saying “It wasn’t intended to be 15 minutes and it was bugged” just like their last excuses

1 ReplyThey clearly don't play this game. 15 min killing all Champs and just getting past the tank area in inverted spire uses up a lot of the time. basically no revives at the kill vex area and waiting on the timer to cycle .what bone head set the times on the GM"s you need a new job . thank you

Couldn’t agree more. You’re punished reward wise for playing in a fireteam.

1 ReplyThis game is dying rapidly…Bungie doesn’t care.

The point it seems is to make matchmaking less inviting. The custom versions have a 20min timer. It's aggravating they do that.

2 RepliesWhile I haven’t tried fireteam ops yet on Grandmaster, it’s kinda jarring how easy GM content is compared to the old GM content.

1 ReplyIt's so you fail and feel less of a man.

TheLastBlackKnightI don’t care anymore - old
The new GM is not the same difficulty as the old GM. Just saying -
Luckily i used to do speedrun gms so i just summon upon that to get it done in under 15 minutes lol (but no seriously the time is way too short for things like inverted)
-
There is no doubt that we are no longer playing this game - this game is playing us. At least that's how it feels...
-
LMAO 🤣 I just posted that this morning that it's badly designed especially for BattleGround Strikes like it was rigged to have all your life tokens to disappear during or before the boss fight
-
I’ve just been doing gm’s with custom modifiers instead of the default matchmade ones, cuz no way i’m being -40 light under when a 15 min timer
-
1 ReplyHas never been an issue for me, my random team mates typically die 2 minutes in in the middle of all the enemies and with no way of reviving them....and I'm out of ammo.

1 ReplyI was surpriced to when 20 revives disapeared after 15 min, because it was 45 min before all the changes. Made it tho with one man down, but yeah 15 min is very short.

Nightfalls are still available in vanguard ops but no more GM nightfalls. Ignore the timer. Play safe and kill all adds to get an A grade. Earlier on on my free to play Xbox account I ran one of the battleground on nessus with the big vex hydra boss trapped by the fallen boss on GM difficulty. I was 40 light below and went way past the timer. Just stay alive and kill everything.
