The Crucible

Showdown

Achieve victory by defeating opponents and preventing revives. Win the most rounds or face off in an elimination showdown.

Overview

Showdown is a round-based The Crucible mode that debuted as the first Crucible Labs test mode in May 2018. Each kill adds a point to the round score and the best score wins the round; most rounds wins the match. A later version scores to 10 kills with a final one-life elimination tiebreaker round, and revives remove an enemy point. Sources differ on team size (4v4 originally; 3v3 reported later), so treat details as version-dependent.

Rewards
