Trials of Osiris is Destiny 2's 3v3 weekend PvP endgame. It runs Friday to Tuesday on weekends without Iron Banner. Earn seven wins on a Lighthouse Passage to reach the Lighthouse, no matter how many losses you take. Seven wins in a row without a loss is a Flawless run with the best rewards.
This guide covers when Trials runs, who can play, how passages work, what Flawless means now, the Lighthouse loot pool and practical tips. It is current as of October 2026, after the Monument of Triumph update (9.7.0). Check your own PvP numbers on your RankSurge Destiny 2 profile before you queue.
When does Trials of Osiris run in October 2026?
Trials runs from Friday reset to the Tuesday weekly reset. Bungie says "Trials of Osiris will be available every weekend, except on weekends when Iron Banner is active," per the Bungie Help guide for Monument of Triumph. Iron Banner runs every four weeks, so most weekends in a month are Trials weekends.
Monument of Triumph launched on June 9, 2026 and is Destiny 2's last planned live-service content update. Bungie has said the game stays online after active development ends, per Engadget, so Trials keeps rotating on its weekend schedule.
Who can play Trials of Osiris?
Trials has three entry requirements, per Bungie Help:
- Ownership: you need The Edge of Fate, Renegades or Destiny 2: The Collection.
- SMS verification: your account must be verified by text message.
- Platform subscription: a console subscription may also be required for matchmade playlists.
Trials now lives inside the Crucible Ops hub with Iron Banner and the other Crucible playlists, after the new Director replaced the old node layout.
How do Trials passages work now?
Passages are the cards that track your weekend. Bungie removed the old rule that a single loss ended a run back in Episode Heresy in February 2025, per Sportskeeda, and that model is still in place in October 2026, per Kyber's Corner.
| Passage | How it works | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Lighthouse Passage | Seven wins unlock the Lighthouse, regardless of losses. Rewards scale with your longest true win streak. | Most players chasing the Lighthouse |
| Flawless Passage | Unlocked by a true seven-win streak. Gives the highest reward tier. | Strong fireteams going for the best loot |
| Trials of Osiris Passage | Lower stakes. Wins give reputation and chances at Trials gear and engrams. Losses still give reputation and can reward a base Trials weapon. | Casual players farming reputation |
What does going Flawless mean in Trials now?
Flawless now means a true seven-win streak with no losses. You no longer need to be Flawless to reach the Lighthouse, but it is still the top goal. Per Kyber's Corner, a true seven-win streak unlocks the Flawless Passage and its highest reward tier, and the seven-win milestone lists a red Trials glow, an Adept weapon and the Flawless Passage.
Streaks matter even on a normal Lighthouse Passage. Your weekly rewards scale with your longest true win streak, so a five-win streak followed by a loss still pays better than scattered wins. Kyber's Corner lists a yellow Trials glow at a five-win streak and a red glow at seven.
What rewards does Trials of Osiris give?
Monument of Triumph reworked Trials loot. Per Kyber's Corner, the main changes were:
- All weapons, every weekend: every Trials weapon can drop each week, so you no longer wait for one featured weapon.
- Bonus Focus Pools: a rotating pool of weapons drops in addition to the standard Trials pool.
- Weapon Attunement: raises your chance of getting a weapon you want.
- Lighthouse pool: the Lighthouse now has its own weapon pool, including Igneous Hammer, The Messenger, Shayura's Wrath, The Summoner and The Inquisitor.
- Saint-14: his Trials reputation reward track is back, and Trials Focusing supports tiered Trials gear from The Edge of Fate, Ash & Iron and Renegades.
- New loot: the Cruel Electrum armor set, the Willful Hamartia Arc linear fusion rifle, and new Ghost shells, Sparrows, ships, an emblem and a shader.
Trials engrams were reset with Monument of Triumph. Lighthouse visits can also grant materials, Trials armor, Osirian Ciphers and chances at Adept weapons. Want to sort your Trials loot? Our Destiny 2 Vault Manager helps you keep that loot organized.
Which maps are in Trials of Osiris?
Since Monument of Triumph, up to three maps are active each weekend, with one chosen from each of three map pools. Burnout, Javelin-4 and Endless Vale appear in all three pools, so they show up more often. Duplicate maps are possible but uncommon, per Kyber's Corner. Learn the sightlines on those three first.
Does Power level matter in Trials?
No. Kyber's Corner states that "Guardian Power does not affect combat effectiveness in Trials." Your loadout, aim and teamwork decide fights, not your Power number. That is different from many PvE activities. Read Destiny 2 Power level explained for how Power works elsewhere.
How can you win more Trials matches?
These habits help most fireteams, whatever your skill level:
- Play as three: stay close enough to trade kills. Getting caught alone is a quick way to lose a round.
- Use comms: call enemy positions, damage dealt and revives. A short call like "one-shot, left" wins rounds.
- Run proven weapons: pick primaries you already use well in Competitive, not just this week's hype weapon.
- Respect revives: a fast, safe revive is worth more than chasing a kill.
- Know when to stop: if your streak breaks and the team is tired, switch to the Trials of Osiris Passage or take a break.
- Warm up first: a few Competitive matches help. Our Destiny 2 Competitive climbing guide covers the fundamentals.
Note that Trials itself has no rank resets, per Mein-MMO. For the Competitive ladder, see Destiny 2 Competitive ranks explained.
Check your PvP stats before the weekend. Look up any Guardian with Destiny 2 stats on RankSurge, then organize your Trials loot with the Destiny 2 Vault Manager.
Frequently asked questions
When does Trials of Osiris start and end?
Trials of Osiris starts at the Friday reset and ends at the Tuesday weekly reset. Bungie says it is available every weekend except weekends when Iron Banner is active, and Iron Banner runs every four weeks. That means most weekends each month are Trials weekends. This schedule stayed in place after Monument of Triumph, Destiny 2's final planned content update on June 9, 2026. Servers remain online, so Trials keeps rotating on its weekend schedule.
Do you need to go Flawless to reach the Lighthouse?
No. On a Lighthouse Passage, seven wins unlock the Lighthouse no matter how many losses you take. Bungie made this change in Episode Heresy in February 2025, and it still works this way in October 2026. Flawless now means a true seven-win streak with no losses. It unlocks the Flawless Passage and the highest reward tier, including a red Trials glow and an Adept weapon at the seven-win milestone. Your weekly rewards also scale with your longest true win streak.
What do you need to play Trials of Osiris?
You need to own The Edge of Fate, Renegades or Destiny 2: The Collection, and your account must pass SMS verification. On consoles, a platform online subscription may also be required for matchmade playlists. Trials sits inside the Crucible Ops hub alongside Iron Banner, after the Director update in Monument of Triumph. Free-to-play accounts without a qualifying purchase cannot enter Trials. Check these requirements before you plan a weekend with friends, since every member of the fireteam must meet them.
Does Power level matter in Trials of Osiris?
No. Guardian Power does not affect combat effectiveness in Trials, so a lower Power player is not at a disadvantage in gunfights. Your weapons, abilities, armor stats, aim and teamwork decide fights. Power still matters in many PvE activities, where higher Power and tougher difficulty settings lead to better loot. For Trials, spend your effort on a reliable loadout and good communication rather than chasing a higher Power number before the weekend.
What rewards can you get from Trials of Osiris?
Trials rewards include Trials weapons and armor, Trials engrams, Saint-14 reputation, Osirian Ciphers, materials and chances at Adept weapons. Since Monument of Triumph, every Trials weapon can drop every weekend, with an extra rotating Bonus Focus Pool and Weapon Attunement to target what you want. The Lighthouse has its own weapon pool, including The Messenger and Igneous Hammer. New loot includes the Cruel Electrum armor set and the Willful Hamartia linear fusion rifle.
Which maps are played in Trials of Osiris?
Since Monument of Triumph, up to three maps are active each Trials weekend. One map is picked from each of three map pools. Burnout, Javelin-4 and Endless Vale appear in all three pools, so they come up more often than other maps. It is possible for the same map to be picked twice, but that is uncommon. Learning the main lanes, power ammo spawns and common sniper angles on those three maps gives you the best return on practice time.
