Distant Shore
Overview
Distant Shore is a Crucible map set in the Arcadian Strand on Nessus, with Vex architecture and a visible Transfer Gate. It is a 4v4 map recommended for Control, and was unlocked on October 10, 2017 alongside the return of Iron Banner. It is the first Destiny 2 Crucible map reimagined from a Destiny 1 map, Shores of Time.
Mechanics
Control has three zones (A, B and C). A common strategy is to capture B and C and hold that side of the map, which is nearest the heavy ammo spawn and forces opponents into poor engagements.
Rewards
No map-specific rewards; loot comes from the playlist being played (for example Iron Banner).
