The Cauldron

Learn how to dominate The Cauldron map in Destiny's Crucible. Get tips on controlling key areas, managing Heavy Ammo, and outplaying your opponents for victory.

Alright, let's talk about The Cauldron map in Destiny. It's pretty symmetrical, which can be good once you get the hang of it. The main action happens in the center arena, which is 'B' in Control mode. This area is super important because it has a ton of access points, making it a hotspot for engagements.

You'll find the Heavy Ammo spawns on opposite ends, just outside of 'B'. Special Ammo is scattered all over the place, so keep an eye out. If you're playing modes like Clash, Control, or Rumble, your best bet is to control the outside areas. This lets you easily grab that Special and Heavy Ammo, and you can force enemies to come to you if they want those power-ups. It's a great way to pick off Guardians trying to push for objectives.

Now, about holding 'B' in Control – it's more manageable than you might think, but here's the key: don't just camp on the flag itself. A smarter play is to hold both 'A' and 'B'. From 'A', you've got a much better view into 'B', and you can quickly move between both points. People will still try to push through 'B', so be ready. The best time to push into 'B' is when you know you have the advantage – maybe you've got a Shotgun and you know an enemy is coming through a tight chokepoint right behind you, or you've saved your Super to take out a few opponents.
