What is Countdown Mode?

destiny 2 has a new game mode called Countdown where the objective is to either activate and defend or defend/disarm a charge in the 1 minute and 30 second rounds. The first player to reach 6 objective completions wins the game. On each map there will be two charges and after each round the assault and defending teams switch objectives.

It takes approximately three seconds to set a charge and approximately five seconds to defuse a charge. The charge will detonate after approximately 40 seconds. Power Ammo spawns approximately 30 seconds into a round, with one drop on either side of the map. These will respawn 30 seconds after use.

Guardians get 1 revive counter at the start of a match which they can use to either use to revive an ally or revive themselves if they die. This revive counter can be found as a yellow Ghost icon in the bottom right corner of the HUD.
