Bungie invigorated trials by allowing players to go to the lighthouse by getting a total of 7 wins with however many losses. Even with a poor streak you’d get an adept weapon which was great.
I’m far from amazing at PvP but I grinded my way to 7 wins twice with a 2 streak and a 3 streak and got a tier 2 and a tier 3 weapon! It makes the lighthouse element pointless!
You should get a minimum of 1 tier 5 gear simply for getting there or we will see trials population fall again with an already diminished population!

There shouldn’t even be tiers in the first place.

Same for 5 feat raids. Yesterday i did a 5 feat full clear, and got rewarded with 1 t3 and 3 t4 gear. I can get that in t3 or t4 runs as well. And im also 450. What is the logic behind that ? I can get a T5 for each pvp match i win, but i get t3 for the hardest challenge currently in the game ?

Alright, let's demand tier 5s to strike so people can complain even more.
-
I would say that tier 5 should only drop in Trials if you go flawless, so that there is still a reward for doing so. However with how pointless tier 5 is, it really doesn't matter.

Everything about the EoF systems overhaul has been a disaster. Trials has never had strong participation, and this update hasn’t fixed a thing. The mode still exists mainly to feed welfare gear to the top 10%, while the other 90% are cannon fodder. Matchmaking is a mess—premades vs pugs, comms vs no comms, M&K on console, cheaters on PC, the imbalance is everywhere. Worse, overall engagement is cratering. Since its launch a month ago, Destiny 2 has bled nearly 70% of its average player engagement. That’s the steepest drop in the franchise’s history. This isn’t a healthy system overhaul; it’s the fastest way Bungie has ever burned out its community.

So should raids No matter your light or guardian rank

The sad part is I got some tier 4s and a tier machine gun while just playing. Got a 3 game win streak and went to the Lighthouse just to get tier 2 and 3. 1 tier drop 5 should get a guarantee getting to the Lighthouse cause I totally agree with OP. What is the point?
-
l watched a live stream of my clan mate Furion go 7 wins open chest and only get tier 3 . what a joke this game has become. lm free to play and must say glad l am this time. first time in a few years l didnt buy it .l made the right call for me since l only like gm's mostly. and bungie screwed that up also lmao.lts like bungie is upset with the community . but we told them to put the work into destiny but they went nuts on marathon and thats fine but it should of replaced gambit.

I love it when posts like this weed out the elitists.
-
It’s weird I am 400, and got to the lighthouse with a streak of 5, and i got 3 tier 5 armor pieces, I guess it’s just random
-
Agree… tier 5 should be far easier to get across the board
-
I don’t get why some matches dont reward at all

This 0.3% old tortoise has as much chance of getting a 7-win streak as I have of going Flawless. 🤔 In D1, loot dropped at 3 wins / 5 wins and obviously at 7 wins. Most weekends, we’d see how far we could get before being stomped. It was a bit of a hoot, nothing more…to us. We played for fun! However, Trials bods took it very seriously indeed. They even trained avidly to sharpen their map call-outs, and work out the best angles possible. They weren’t messing around. They played to win! I entered and won a raffle, and got to the lighthouse one time; it was enough. I also did my bit during our run…so that was good, too. Thanks again to my 2x warrior teammates. Now, getting 7x wins regardless of Ls is something I’ve been calling for since way back. Going to the lighthouse whenever I’m ready to grind those 7 wins is fairly doable and can be fun when I’m up against players at- or slightly above or slightly below my level (if such a thing is possible?! 😂)…though due to the ‘Win Streak’ loot payouts - it’s hardly worth the effort. Most weekends, I don’t bother. If there’s a new gun or a Triumph / Quest to do - I’ll probably get it done. Otherwise, there’s no point. IMHO: reach the lighthouse - you get the same loot as everyone else. To differentiate the hardcore players Flawless runs - give them a special emblem / shader pack. Better still, create a Wall of Fame in the Tower, where the top solo player and top team for that particular Trials event get to have their names / scores indelibly marked, for all to see and admire. Could also give them a unique ‘Only the Few’ (laurel leaf) marker attached to their character and account…for all to see and admire! 🤩 That is all. Ease Springs! 🖖

I see things a little differently. It should generally be tied to win streaks. A 7 - win streak guarantees Tier 5. A 5 - 6 streak guarantees Tier 4 with a chance of Tier 5. And so on. Power level shouldn't play a role. The number of drops should be the same as last season. A shower of loot.
-
I won 6 in a row on Friday. Having a 6 game streak I would have thought I got an incentive to keep playing like pre EOF. Played several hours at around 325 level. I would have thought I got at least the next tier of weapons or gear just once. It’s not worth playing trials unless all my drops in other activities are 5 tier all the time. I won’t play trials anymore probably
-
Tier 5 Trials Loot should come from a 7 win streak Flawless card only. There needs to be *some* actual incentive to actually go Flawless.

Maybe for a 5 streak onward (which i actually think is how it is now). You dont get tier 5 for a 2 win streak and then limping to 7 wins lol.

Edited by COMBATICUS: 8/25/2025 10:03:42 PMI went to the lighthouse yesterday. And I left with an ascendant shard, prism, and a cloak. So basically, 1 gear/weapon. But the other time I went to the lighthouse, it rained loot for me. I had 3 gears. 2 weapons, a ship, a ghost, and mats. I dont know why this weekend was horrible with ita loot. Ps. It was tier 2 clock by the way lol

No. You get better loot depending on your streak. -
Flawless loot****
-
So you done poorly and still expect the best loot? Lol It should be tied to a 5 streak minimum if they do anything like that
-
If thats the case, they mind as well just give everything to anyone in the game
-
Honestly tier 5s shouldn't drop from end of match rewards, only the lighthouse.
-
Agree, lighthouse rewards need to be seriously reworked, especially since it is statistically much more difficult to get to 7 straight wins now without the 1 loss forgiveness.
