History of Sparrow Control

Sparrow Control is a limited-time Crucible variant of Control where Sparrows are enabled.

Overview

Bungie added it in Season 23 (Season of the Wish) as an occasional rotator in the 6v6 Unranked playlist. Teams capture zones and defeat opponents while riding Sparrows; enemy gunfire can destroy the vehicles. Contemporary coverage reports that the mode rotated periodically and included a unique medal. These sources describe its 2023–24 introduction and do not establish current availability; check the in-game Director.
