Tribute

"The heat of battle consumes the undisciplined. Combat is a means to victory, not its own end." —Lord Saladin

Collect crests from defeated opponents. Bank crests at the beacons to score points for your team.

Overview

Tribute is an Iron Banner game mode in the Crucible, a Cabal-themed variant of Supremacy. Defeated opponents drop crests; deposit them at a Cabal Beacon to score. Two beacons appear at once and periodically relocate; you drop held crests on death.

The Hunt

When a teammate reaches a 5-kill streak (Primed), the team gets an energy boost. After a score threshold, Caiatl sends a high-value central beacon guarded by three turrets that increases crest value. Most crests wins.

Rewards

Iron Banner rank rewards, including Iron Banner weapons and armor.
