Nope, you gotta pay to play.

Well you will obviously need to pay to use either playstation or xbox's respective online services as with any game. However you cannot play the crucible unless you have Destiny 1 base game, and both Taken King and Rise Iron DLCs. The bundle is now called Destiny: The Collection. The fastest way to buy them is through the console's online store, but you will be paying $60 for "The Collection" bundle that way. I recommend going to the gamestop website and using the store locator to see if your local store has a a used or new copy I got a used copy "The Collection" for.....>>>>$1.00<<<<< (one USD + tax). However if you buy "The Collection" used from gamestop, what you are getting is a Destiny 1 base game disc with a Taken King/Rise of Iron product key insert, which gmaestop can not guarantee hasn't already been activated. I was fortunate enough to get a legitimate copy with an unused product code. I don't know how much the new copies are because my store didn't have any in stock. With it you also get a in-game consumable item that auto-boosts 1 character of your choice to level 40. Mine also came with an iron gjallarhorn product code insert. Also, If you don't mind waiting a few days, you can easily find it for under $10 on ebay. And JOIN A CLAN! The best way to do raids and nightfall stuffs. The crucible is still a blast but difficult at times to find enough players to start a match, especially if its a playlist other than the weekly featured one, or something like control or mayhem rumble. good luck if you really like rift and it's not featured. That goes for both playstation and xbox... All the more reason to clan up. GET ON! We need more action in the crucible <3
