Scorched

Scorched is a Crucible game mode in which every Guardian spawns with a Scorch Cannon and no other weapon. Supers and class abilities are disabled, and players respawn with a fresh Scorch Cannon after each death.

The mode has two variants. Scorched is a Free-for-All match based on the Rumble format, where each Guardian plays for themselves until one reaches the score limit, and it is usually played on smaller maps. Team Scorched is a 6v6 match based on the Clash format, won by the first team to reach the score limit.

Filthy Lucre

Scorched and Mayhem playlists have short time limits, so their Crucible matches end quickly. That made them a faster route to earning Filthy Lucre during its grind, and winning a Crucible match grants more progress than losing one. Rules and reward values may have changed since that period.
