History of Throwback Restricted

Overview

Throwback Restricted is a matchmade Crucible playlist. Only gear of Legendary rarity or lower from the The Red War era is allowed. Its loot pool lists Red War era weapons, such as Autumn Wind, and the Triumphal Anthem armor set.

Gear rules

The playlist's rules restrict gear by rarity and era rather than by power level. In most Crucible match types power level does not matter, so Red War gear remains usable. Red War gear lacks the stat boosts of current gear, and its ability cooldowns are long, which can make it harder to use.
