Destiny 2 players are loving “dumb” new Sparrow Control Crucible mode

Destiny 2 players have expressed their love for the new Sparrow Control Crucible which brings vehicular chaos to the PvP mode.

Destiny 2 is in a bit of a quiet spot at the moment. With the delay of The Final Shape, there isn’t too much to do at the moment in terms of the story. Season of the Wish has completed its narrative arc, with the story team trying to create new experiences for the players to undergo in the interim.

With the next major expansion releasing in June of 2024, players have quite the wait ahead of them before they get their hands on anything new.

However, Bungie had an ace up its sleeve, a new PvP game mode that was originally a bug, now realized in its full form.

Players have fallen in love with the new game mode, pointing out how “dumb” the premise of the mode is. As the name implies, Sparrow Control is simply the Control mode, but with Sparrows and vehicular manslaughter. You can hop onto your Sparrow during the mode and mow down anyone in your way. But be warned, your Sparrow isn’t invincible, and gets easily taken out with enemy gunfire.

“Things like this are what the crucible needs (and proper balance)” one player complimented the mode.

Many Redditors adored the player’s choice of playing a chonky Titan on the tiniest Sparrow possible.

“Mini sparrow for the W” one commented.

“BREAKING: fat titan causes massacre with moped” another announced.

Destiny 2 has brought Sparrows into the Crucible for a limited time only.

Some players suggested that Bungie should invest in bringing modes like this more often and creating larger maps that allow for vehicular combat.

“It’s almost as if it would really cool to add the big maps that allow us to drive different vehicles. Seems players are enjoying this game mode.”

The limited-time mode will be rotated every so often, so make sure you hop into the mode to try it for yourself and grab the unique medal.
