History of Last Stand

Overview

Last Stand is a Triumph tied to Countdown, the bomb-defusal Crucible mode. Its objective is to earn Medals by defusing a charge as the last Guardian standing.

Countdown was a weekly rotating Crucible playlist and is now vaulted, so the triumph cannot be progressed through normal rotation.

How to complete

1. Join a Countdown match. Each match is 4v4, runs up to eleven rounds, and the first team to six round wins takes it.
2. As an attacker, arm a charge at one of the two sites on the map. Arming takes about three seconds.
3. As a defender, defuse an armed charge. Defusing takes a little over five seconds. Once a charge is armed the bomb explodes after roughly 40 seconds unless it is defused.
4. Defuse the charge while you are the last Guardian alive to earn the Medal.

Tips

• Each player gets one Revive Token per round. A revive can only be used on an ally who died at least 20 seconds earlier, so save it for a teammate in a position to win the round.
• Countdown maps are Eternity, Emperor's Respite, The Fortress, and Midtown.
