History of Survival

Overview

Survival is a 3v3 round-based Crucible mode. Teams share a pool of lives; each defeat costs a life, and the last team with lives remaining wins the round. The first team to four round wins takes the match.

Playlist context

The older description of Survival as a Competitive playlist mode is historical. Bungie’s activity guide describes its rules under “Glory: Survival” but does not establish a current schedule; check the in-game Director for availability.
