Trials in 2026: Schedule, Requirements, and the Map System
Since Monument of Triumph (June 9, 2026 — Update 9.7.0), Trials of Osiris runs every weekend from Friday 10 AM PT (17:00 UTC) through the Tuesday weekly reset. The standing exception: Iron Banner weeks (roughly every four weeks) — Trials sits that weekend out. For live maps and this week's Bonus Focus Pool, use the companion page Trials this week.
Entry: own the current expansion lane (Renegades / Destiny 2: The Collection as applicable) and meet the portal Power floor (~200). Combat is not Power-enabled — the floor is an entry gate only. Mode is Dominion 3v3 (last team standing or zone capture; revives on).
Maps: up to three maps per weekend — one draw from each of three pools. Pool 1 (Burnout, Javelin-4, Endless Vale) also appears in wider pools, so those three show up most often. Pool 2 adds mid-tier Crucible maps; Pool 3 covers most of the remaining rotation (a short exclusion list remains). More variety per Friday, fewer "same map again" weekends.
Passages Explained: Trials vs Lighthouse vs Flawless
Saint-14 sells two starting passages (Heresy rework, still the July 2026 rule). Old Mercy / Ferocity / Wealth cards are gone.
| Passage | How you get it | Matchmaking | What it's for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trials of Osiris Passage | Buy from Saint-14 anytime | Weekly Performance-Based when the whole fireteam is on Completed / Flawless / Trials cards | Lower-stakes farming — rep, engrams, base weapons, challenges. No Lighthouse. |
| Lighthouse Passage | Buy from Saint-14 anytime | Open Skill | Race to 7 total wins → Lighthouse access. Losses do not block entry. |
| Completed Lighthouse Passage | Auto after your 7th win + Lighthouse visit | Performance-Based if everyone is off an active Lighthouse card; Open Skill if anyone still has a fresh Lighthouse Passage | Keep playing for post-Lighthouse drops while chasing weekly streak packages you haven't claimed. |
| Flawless Passage | Earned after claiming all 1→7 weekly win-streak packages (true streaks — no mercy) | Hybrid Performance → falls back to Open Skill so queues stay healthy | Best post-match drop table + red glow + Flawless win-streak tracker. This is the crown, not the entry ticket. |
Key rule: Lighthouse access = 7 wins on a Lighthouse Passage, consecutive or not. Flawless = a true 7-win streak package (and the Flawless Passage that unlocks after you bank all streak tiers). The old "one loss = card dead" soft-lock is gone.
Flawless pool state (July 2026): there is no separate legacy "Flawless-only lobby" like pre-Heresy. Sweat comes from Performance-Based lobbies once your fireteam is on Completed / Flawless / Trials cards — mixed with someone still on a fresh Lighthouse Passage and you snap back to Open Skill.
Book a Trials carry →Two Flawless-caliber PROs join your fireteam, you keep your account and your loot, and the card hits the Lighthouse. Self-play, from $18, most runs done within the hour.
Lighthouse Chest & Adept Odds
Every Lighthouse visit (until you hold a Flawless Passage) pays a repeatable chest, plus any unclaimed weekly win-streak packages for your longest true streak this weekend. Claiming a higher streak tier also grants every lower unclaimed tier.
| Reward lane | Tier | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Repeatable chest | A | Prisms, base Trials weapon, Trials armor, Osirian Ciphers ×3, ~45% Ascendant Shard, two separate Adept rolls |
| 1-win streak | C | Cores, Prism, Shard, Adept Mod, Ghost progress, Hardened By Trial emblem (first time) |
| 3-win streak | B | Ciphers + Trials armor — also the streak floor that guarantees the streak-based Adept roll |
| 5-win streak | A | Yellow glow, weapon, Memento, vehicle/Ghost progress, shader knockout, Flawless emblems (first time) |
| 6-win streak | A | White glow + Prisms |
| 7-win streak (Flawless) | S | Red glow, Adept + base weapon, unlocks Flawless Passage |
Adept math (Bungie Heresy numbers — still the live rule per Kyber's July 2026 Trials page): each chest rolls Adept chance twice, independently — once from your longest weekly streak, once from how many of your seven wins were as a full trio.
- Streak roll: 1-win 30% · 2-win 60% · 3+ wins 100%
- Trio roll: scales 15% → 100% with how many of the seven wins were full-fireteam (seven trio wins = guaranteed Adept even on a 1-streak)
So a determined trio with a 3-streak can walk out with two Adepts from one chest. Bank the streak packages you care about before you soft-reset the card.
The 2026 Loot Economy: Pools, Attunement, Cruel Electrum
Monument of Triumph killed the old "one featured Adept per weekend" cadence. Here is the live economy:
| System | How it works |
|---|---|
| Open weapon pool | Every Trials weapon can drop every weekend — no month-long waits. |
| Bonus Focus Pools | A rotating set of ~7 weapons drops on top of the standard table (Pool 1 / 2 / 3 cycle; IB weeks skip Trials). |
| Weapon Attunement | Name any Trials gun at Saint-14; its drop weight rises. Change freely. |
| Lighthouse pool | Chest crown jewels: Igneous Hammer, The Messenger, Shayura's Wrath, The Summoner, The Inquisitor. |
| Engrams & focusing | Saint-14's reputation track is restored; focus tiered Trials gear from Edge of Fate / Ash & Iron / Renegades eras. |
Cruel Electrum armor (Hunter / Titan / Warlock) is the Monument-era PvP set:
- 2pc Primary Survivor — when an ally is down: handling, reload, target acquisition, flinch resist (stronger solo / multi-down).
- 4pc Primary Phantom — Primary final blows take you off radar briefly (drawing a non-Primary ends it).
Class flex for any weekend: 
Hunter mobility, 
Titan lane control, 
Warlock ability pressure — pick the kit you already aim with.
Get your god roll farmed →Name the weapon and the perks — Adept or standard — and our PROs farm until it drops. God roll hunting without the weekend-long RNG tax.
What an Adept Weapon Gives You in the Tier 5 Era
In the tiered gear system from The Edge of Fate, weapons roll Gear Tiers 1–5. Adept Trials weapons sit at the top: they take Adept mods, pull from enhanced Trials perk pools, and drop at high tiers — a strong Flawless Lighthouse visit historically banks a guaranteed high-tier Adept, with Tier 5 more likely when streak, Power, and Guardian Rank line up (Update 9.7.0 also improved reshaping toward top-end Adept power).
Concretely: an Adept Igneous Hammer or Shayura's Wrath with the right roll is a years-long Crucible staple — and Monument froze the expansion cadence, so "years" is literal. Prefer a named roll over chest RNG? A god roll farming service targets the weapon and perks until it drops.
Three Realistic Paths to the Lighthouse
Path 1 — raise your own ceiling. Drill the high-frequency maps (Burnout, Javelin-4, Endless Vale) in regular Crucible. Queue with a meta Primary + a special you trust. Friday evening population is usually softest. Duo minimum; solo Lighthouse is a real achievement because Open Skill still hurts.
Path 2 — stack the deck. A coordinated trio with comms beats aim. Full-fireteam wins also feed the trio Adept guarantee, so a premade is double value: easier rounds, better chest. Vet LFG by recent Trials stats, not vibes.
Path 3 — bring professionals. A Trials carry pairs you with PvP PROs in self-play — your account, your fireteam, live comms. Standard Flawless / 7-0 style runs finish in an evening or less. Honest shortcut: same Passage, same Lighthouse — from $18 at LFCarry, with a piloted weekly Adept farm from $25 if you want the loot more than the matches.
