The Crucible
Freelance Glory: Survival
Fight for Glory Rank points by depleting your opponents' shared life pool and then eliminating them.
Overview
Freelance means a solo-only matchmaking queue: you cannot queue while in a fireteam, so you face other solo players instead of premade teams. Freelance Glory: Survival is the solo version of Survival in the Crucible ranked playlist, and earns Glory points. Launch from the Director under Crucible; skill-based matchmaking applies to Survival modes. Power is normalised in PvP.
Rules
Per the D2 Wiki, each team shares a pool of four respawn lives; deaths spend lives permanently, and a round is won by eliminating opponents or having more lives when the 2-minute timer ends. First to 4 round wins takes the match. Tied timeouts go to overtime with a capture point.
