Is it PvP or PvE?
Crucible is has 3 online PvP modes which mix in PvE elements:
- Heart of the Hives: 4v4 PvP with neutral bosses (likely similar to Destiny 2's Gambit Mode)
- Alpha Hunters: 8 duos battling to be the last pair remaining (likely similar to Fortnite duos)
- Harvester Command: 8v8 capture and hold points; first team to 100 points wins (similar modes in almost every PvP shooter)
Each mode has built-in PvE farming for "essence", which is used to level up during the game, similar to farming for gold and experience in MOBA's like Dota 2 and Leauge of Legends.
