The competitive PvP mode Trials of Osiris is now live in Destiny 2 from April 16 until April 20. In Trials of Osiris, you and two other players team up against another team of three to compete across several rounds. Whoever wins the match has a win added to their Trials card. Getting three, five, and seven wins over the course of the weekend nets you several pieces of Trials gear, and if you manage to win seven games in a row, you can go Flawless for Adept loot that has improved effectiveness compared to the standard versions of the weapon you would normally get. This weekend, players will be competing on the map The Cauldron, which is infamous for its numerous hallways and sharp elevation differences.
The loot you can get from Trials of Osiris is usually awesome, and this week is no different. Getting three wins will score you an Igneous Hammer hand cannon, which has become very popular among players. Getting five wins will get you a Trials of Osiris class item armor piece. Get seven wins, and you’ll walk away with the Exile’s Curse fusion rifle, which is one of the best ones in the game. Finally, players who manage to go flawless will earn an Adept version of the Igneous Hammer.
- 3 Wins: Igneous Hammer (Hand Cannon)
- 5 Wins: Class Item (Armor)
- 7 Wins: Exile’s Curse (Fusion Rifle)
- Flawless: Igneous Hammer (Adept) (Hand Cannon)

Microsoft’s Surface Duo is not ‘failing up’
Microsoft announced this week that it was expanding Surface Duo availability to nine new commercial markets. While Surface Duo is undoubtedly a work in progress, this is not a sign of a disaster. It’s also doesn’t mean that Surface Duo is selling a ton either. Instead, the reason for the expansion is a lot more straightforward.
