How to Reset and Refresh Crucible Valor Rank in Destiny 2

Introduction

The Crucible is the player-versus-player (PvP) mode in Destiny 2 where Guardians can test their skills against each other. As you play matches in the Crucible, you earn Valor points which increase your Valor rank. Resetting your Valor rank is important for a few reasons:

  • It allows you to earn powerful rewards again like Ascendant Shards
  • It’s required for certain quests and triumphs
  • It shows your dedication to PvP

Resetting your Valor can seem confusing though. This guide will cover everything you need to know including how to reset Valor, when to reset, and the rewards for doing so.

What is Valor Rank?

Valor rank is a progression system that goes up as you complete Crucible matches. Winning matches grants bonus Valor points and helps you increase ranks faster. There are no penalties for losing.

The Valor ranks are:

  • Guardian
  • Brave
  • Heroic
  • Fabled
  • Mythic
  • Legend

Reaching new Valor ranks grants rewards like Crucible tokens, enhancement cores, enhancement prisms, ascendant shards, and more.

When Should You Reset Valor?

Once you reach Legend rank and max out the points, you can reset your Valor rank. You need to earn 2,000 Valor points to hit the cap.

You should reset your Valor rank for a few reasons:

  • It allows you to earn all the Valor rank rewards again like Ascendant Shards
  • Certain quests and triumphs require Valor resets
  • It shows your dedication to PvP with seasonal emblems tracking resets

Resetting Valor gives you a fresh start to begin earning ranks and rewards again. There is no downside to resetting as soon as you reach the cap.

How to Reset Valor Rank

Resetting your Valor is easy once you reach the requirements. Here are the steps:

  1. Open the Director and select Crucible
  2. Hover over the Quickplay playlist
  3. If you are at the Valor cap, you will see a “Reset Valor Rank” prompt
  4. Hold the button to reset your Valor to Guardian rank

Once reset, you can start earning Valor points again toward a new Legend rank. Make sure to claim all available rewards from Lord Shaxx before resetting.

Rewards for Resetting Valor

Resetting your Valor rank grants additional rewards beyond what you earn from the initial climb to Legend. Here are some of the rewards:

First Reset Per Season

  • Ascendant Shard
  • Exclusive emblem
  • Progress toward Redrix’s Broadsword quest

Subsequent Resets

  • Enhancement cores
  • Enhancement prisms
  • Ascendant Shards
  • Exclusive seasonal emblems

The more times you reset in a season, the more bonus rewards you earn. This gives PvP mains something to chase all season long.

Tips for Ranking Up Faster

  • Play with a full fireteam for bonus Valor
  • Pay attention to Valor bonus weekends
  • Complete Crucible weekly challenges
  • Finish Shaxx’s daily Crucible bounties
  • Equip Crucible prosperity mods
  • Build win streaks for extra points

Using these tips will help you maximize Valor gains and reach resets faster. Be sure to take advantage of limited-time Valor bonuses when they are active.

Closing Thoughts

Resetting your Valor rank is an important part of the seasonal Crucible grind. It allows you to earn powerful rewards repeatedly while also making progress on triumphs and quests. Reset often once you reach the cap to make the most of the PvP progression system.

Hopefully this guide has made the Valor rank and reset system clear. Just remember to have fun in the Crucible along the way. Competing against other Guardians is an exciting challenge with plenty of rewards up for grabs.
