History of Relic

Overview

Relic is a 6v6 party mode in The Crucible, introduced in Season of the Witch alongside the Vex-themed Multiplex map. Players earn relic energy by defeating opponents with weapons and abilities; once full, a relic can be picked up from the relic depot on the map, and kills with the relic score points. The first team to the score limit, or the highest score at time-out, wins.
