History of Arms Week: Medieval Hardware

Overview

A Crucible playlist from the Arms Week event (the 2025-era event run by Ada-1 with the Hardware modifier; it is separate from the earlier, cancelled 2018 Armsweek). This variant restricts players to medieval weapons only: Bows, Glaives and Swords. Abilities and Supers are disabled, so matches are weapons only, and curated weapons can use Volatile mods. It is matchmade from the Crucible playlist selection while the event is live; the Crucible is a PvP activity, so there is no fixed power requirement.

Mechanics

• Hardware modifier: no abilities or Supers, weapons only.
• Volatile Weapon mods are enabled on the week's curated weapons; the mods expire when the event ends.
• Playing matches counts toward the event's Combat Telemetry and triumphs (one triumph asks for 15 completed matches in Arms Week: Hardware).

Rewards

Event reward-track and playlist drops are listed on this page's rewards; Combat Telemetry is spent at Ada-1 for weapon rolls and materials.
