In a recent interview with gamespot at pax, Luke Smith didn't know the answer to this question which in itself is perplexing.... Anyone have the answer??
EDIT 1: Still no definite answer... Bungie care to respond?? PLEASE BUMP SO WE CAN BE HEARD!
EDIT 2: so far we know FORSURE
1. LIGHT LEVEL
2. *nothing confirmed*
Edit 3: STAT VALUES - I think this is it!
Example 1- my warlocks best stats = 585
Iron bread hood / intellect +67
Discipline +59
Claws of Ahamkara / dis +58
Strgth +68
Dead light wrap / Intel +85
Dis +89
Deathsingers herold / dis +159
Add those stats up and you will get a number. The higher the number the more stat value you have.... Highest gets to hold flag is all same light level .... Please tell me if this makes sense.... I have tested it and it works!

7 RepliesWhat a flag bearer again? Sorry, I an not a noob, i am a very experienced player I'be just spent WAYYYYY too much time on bo3 beta recently to remember some things from this game.
-
It might be 1) type of exotic you have equipped 2) Grimoire Score 4) KD ratio 5)However the hell destiny wants to do it as long as they are light level
-
Light level, then I think it's random from there. Though it could be skill rating or recent performance.
-
Edited by BigDaddyE47: 9/1/2015 2:21:31 AMI've checked it against level, light level and performance and none of those consistently predict it. Not grimoire either.
-
I don't know but I get it 80% of my matches and I'm not that special.
-
For whatever reason I always seem to get no matter my level or grimoire score.
-
Random

2 RepliesI get it a lot when I'm on my hunter. I rarely on my Titan.
-
3 Repliestrust me, it has nothing to do with light level or grimoire. i have a low grimoire compared to my friends: 3035 compared to max or close to it. we are all level 34. they are all also better than i am. i hold the flag with them all the time. my theory is that it has something to do with who the game has chosen as host to connect to the other team's host. perhaps the person with the best connection
-
Is it possibly grimiore?
-
I think not sure bit it's on how well you have done in the last match or hoe many hours played not sure I think the second one is more likely
-
I hold flag quite often at the start of my matches. I thought it had something to do with my Titans.
-
I always thought that was the host(because I have great Internet and I'm usually the flag bearer more often than not). But that wouldn't explain the enemy flag bearer so I have no Idea.
-
everytime i see me holding the flag in iron bannana: 'yep we're -blam!-ed' :D
-
Who did the best in the previous match
-
1 ReplyRNG. And to the people saying its light level, I have a 13 Titan on playstation and I hold the flag all the time. It's just RNG
-
It isn't light lvl bc I remember a few days ago I was playing IB and I was chosen to hold the flag even those I was the only 32 there. Everyone else was 34
-
Skill level aka KD ratio.
-
Does there have to be a reason? I'm fine with thinking its just being random. lol
-
1 ReplyHighest Level I think and then if there is more than 1 person who is the same level it's just random
-
1 ReplyI think light level is at least a pretty certain factor. I've never ever held the flag while grinding IB as a 32.
-
4 RepliesLight lvl and grimoire. Maybe recent games?????
-
4 RepliesTotal defense rating under your light, highest gets the flag.
-
2 RepliesIt's just RNG between all the max levels
-
3 RepliesMy friend is always the flag bearer, he has lowish grimoir and a bad kd...
