Destiny 2’s biggest PvP activity, Trials of Osiris, is back once again. If you want to know what the map and weapon of the week is, we’ve got all that and more in this breakdown of the looter-shooter’s most competitive game mode.
The Final Shape brings back Trials for another expansion, giving Guardians more opportunities to compete for glory. There are also two new weapons up for grabs: Aisha’s Heal and Shayura’s Wrath, which you can collect throughout Act 2 of Echoes.
While the playlist has historically been plagued by issues like cheaters, account recovery services, and technical glitches within the broader Destiny 2 experience, Bungie has rolled out updates over the past few seasons to improve things.

This week’s featured Trials of Osiris map
Trials of Osiris features a new map every week, allowing players of all skill levels to shine and experience something new. Some maps are geared toward CQB, while others are more suited to scout rifles and snipers. You’ll want to stay on top of the featured map so you know exactly what loadout to use.
This week’s featured Trials of Osiris card is Dissonancea large map added in Into the Light that takes place in the same pyramid as the Root of Nightmares raid.
BungieFeatured Trials of Osiris Rewards and Weapons This Week
Instead of the previously required 3, 5, 7, and Flawless victory thresholds for rewards, players will no longer earn specific weapons. Instead, you will earn Trial Engrams by increasing your reputation with Saint-14 in the Tower Hangar.
Once a Trials of Osiris reward has been unlocked, you can focus it for the cost of a Trials Engram, meaning spellcasting has never been easier. Additionally, you can get better gear with higher stat rolls by becoming Flawless.
This weekend’s rewards for the Osiris Trials are as follows:
- Rank 4 – Upgrade Module (x3)
- Rank 7 – Enhancement Prism (x3)
- Rank 10 – Aisha’s Heal (Strand Pulse Rifle)
- Rank 13 – Ascendant Alloy (x1)
- Rank 16 – Shayura’s Wrath (Void SMG)
- Featured Weapon – Aisha’s Heal (Adept Pulse Rifle)
Jugo MobileAll Passages of The Judgement of Osiris Explained
With the Season of the Lost playlist overhaul, Trials of Osiris Passages have undergone some changes. These items grant you access to the Trials playlist every weekend, and there are a few notable changes to note as part of the new system:
- Passages no longer follow losses
- Each run is either perfect or not, allowing you to continue playing and earning rewards no matter how many losses you suffer.
- Players can still reset their Pass after a loss, but are no longer required to do so after suffering three losses on their card.
- Passes now track up to 20 rounds won
- All Passages have had their prices significantly reduced
- Passes are now account-wide, meaning you can play and earn rewards on any of your characters using the same pass
BungieThese changes and what they mean for you as you prepare for the playlist can be quite confusing. Here’s a breakdown of each passage, what they do, and which one is best for you:
- Passage of Mercy:Now, two losses will be forgiven if you haven’t been perfect during the week. Once you’ve been perfect, it will only offer one.
- If your goal is to reach the lighthouse, this passage is for you. You will get a free loss without having to reset your map and start over from scratch.
- Passage of ferocity:This passage grants you a bonus win after reaching three victories on your card.
- Usually the next choice after Mercy for flawless runs, this will allow you to skip an entire match on your way to the Lighthouse – but you won’t have the loss forgiveness that comes with Mercy
- Passing of wealth:Will reward an additional Trial Rank with each win, the amount rewarded increases as your main rank increases.
- If you’re more focused on Trial rewards and don’t mind being flawless, this is the card for you. With the new Trial reputation system, Passage of Wealth will increase your rank with Saint-14 faster than any other card.
- Passage of trust: This passage grants a bonus reward from the Flawless chest, but you can only acquire this card after you have already become Flawless that week.
- If you’re confident in your skills and have a strong team to play with, the Confidence Passage can help you rack up more rewards at the Lighthouse, but it’s arguably the most difficult Passage to play.
- Passage of persistence:This pass reduces the impact of losses by rewarding the weekly Adept weapon at seven wins, regardless of how many games it takes.
- While Passage of Wealth offers better rewards overall, it’s a great option for casual players who want to get an adept weapon but lack the consistency to be perfect.
Choosing the right runthrough for you (and your teammates, if you plan on entering the Trials with a pre-built squad) will go a long way toward ensuring you get the most out of your time in the playlist each weekend.
Osiris Trials Weekly Reset Time
The Trials of Osiris will take place next online on August 23 at the daily reset (10:00 PDT / 13:00 EDT / 17:00 GMT / 19:00 CET) and will work until the weekly reset on August 27th.
Before you head into the competition, you’ll want to stop by the Tower Hangar and speak to Saint-14, the Destiny 2 vendor who oversees the Trials. He’ll be your primary source of bounties and rewards throughout the week, and the person who’ll provide you with each of your Trial runs.
