All weapons have been removed from the game after the reddit posts of the late 2020's. Trials of Banshee has just launched and the main objective is to take B flag every round until there is a winner. Melee is the only acceptable form of attack now.

No knives, arc orbs, no hammers, only melee. Hunters see no play time anymore due to their melee whiffs which could not be fixed even after 20 years. Synthocep Titans and Ophidian Aspect Warlocks are what rule the crucible. After sprinting was removed for being OP, the guardians needed extra range or lunge ability to win the melee spams in an attempt to capture the point. Some crafty members of the community, such as CammyCakes, have arisen to the top of the leader boards for their tremendous positioning and timing.

However, the calls on reddit to further nerf melee are growing. Luke Smith is rumored to be ununununsunset and will announce the TWAB this coming Thursday. God help us all.
