'''PsiOps Battlegrounds''' are three-player match-made [[Battlegrounds (activity format)|battleground]] activities that were released with ''[[Season of the Risen]]'', alongside ''[[The Witch Queen]]'' expansion. 

Originally, in order to access PsiOps Battlegrounds, players had to complete the first mission of [[The Witch Queen]] campaign, then interact with a flag in the [[Tower (Destiny 2)|Tower]]'s [[Hangar]]. With the release of ''[[Lightfall]]'', PsiOps Battlegrounds were added to the Vanguard Ops playlist.

==Background==
Following the discovery of [[Hive]] [[Lightbearer]]s during the Witch Queen campaign, Commander [[Zavala]], [[Saladin Forge]], [[The Guardian]], and [[Crow]] meet up with [[Empress Caiatl]] in order to discuss battle plans. Zavala requests [[Imperial Cabal]] support in dealing with [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]]'s new weapons, to which Caiatl agrees. The joint [[The Coalition|coalition]] begins to work together in order to capture and research Hive Lightbearers using the powers of [[Psion]]s.

==Gameplay==
There are three versions of PsiOps Battlegrounds, taking place in three different locations in [[Sol]] and fighting with one of the different Lightbearer variants. When the players reach the final boss, they will fight it until a third of its health is depleted. At that point, two [[Imperial Optus]] Psions will appear which will trap the Lightbearer, then open its inner world as a [[Mindscape]] and send the [[Guardian]]s into it. Within, the players will fight the Lightbearing Hive at peak power, and it will summon massive amounts of reinforcements. After losing a third of its health, the Hive will disappear and summon an [[Aspect of Savathûn]], or two for the second third. These Aspects are invulnerable to all damage, except for the [[Synaptic Spear]], which will appear in the arena. Once the Aspects are slain, the boss will reappear, and be vulnerable. Crushing the Lightbearer's [[Ghost]] will deprive it of the [[Light]], and finish the battle.
