Raids are Destiny 2's pinnacle PvE activity. They are 6-player cooperative missions featuring intricate mechanics, multi-phase boss encounters, and the best loot in the game, including Raid-exclusive Exotic weapons and armor. Raids require significant coordination, communication, and a deep understanding of their unique puzzles and combat challenges. There is no matchmaking for Raids.
Key Raids:
- Vault of Glass (Venus/Cosmodrome): A reprised D1 classic, free for all players.
- Deep Stone Crypt (Europa): From the Beyond Light expansion.
- Vow of the Disciple (Throne World): From the Witch Queen expansion.
- King's Fall (Dreadnaught/Throne World): A reprised D1 classic, from the Witch Queen era.
- Root of Nightmares (Neptune): From the Lightfall expansion.
- Crota's End (Moon): A reprised D1 classic, from the Lightfall era.
Before attempting a Raid, it's highly recommended to watch a video guide or join a fireteam with experienced players who can teach you the mechanics. Raids are the ultimate test of teamwork and skill in Destiny 2.
