'''Raid''' is a game mode of ''[[Destiny]]''. Raids are 6-player cooperative assassination missions that are of high challenge, and require communication between players to succeed.<ref name = "Alpha">[http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=115321786&postcount=1557 '''NeoGaf''' : ''Destiny Alpha Gameplay Leaks'']</ref> They involve specific quests for groups of [[fireteam]]s.<ref name = "TG">[http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/apr/28/destiny-hands-on-bungie-xbox-playstationshared-world-shooter '''The Guardian''': ''how the makers of Halo plan to change the future of shooters'']</ref> No waypoints or explicit objectives are provided.<ref name = "Tough">[http://www.gamespot.com/articles/destinys-raids-so-tough-you-may-need-help-from-the/1100-6422047/?utm_source=weekly_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=destinys-raids-so-tough-you-may-need-help-from-the '''GameSpot''' - ''Destiny's Raids So Tough You May Need Help from the Internet'']</ref> Raids typically involve epic, climactic encounters against various bosses, culminating in intense final battles against legendary bosses across the ''[[Destiny]]'' series.

==Overview==
Raids differ from [[Strike]]s in a few ways:

*6 player fireteams, as opposed to 3.
*No matchmaking. A player must form a fireteam beforehand or search on an LFG (Looking For Group) site.
**In ''[[Destiny 2]]'', as of Season of the Wish, players with Guardian Rank 5 or higher can use the ‘Fireteam Finder’ in-game LFG system to create or join posts and find teammates for any activity, including raids. 
*Raid enemies will have abilities not found elsewhere in the game (i.e. unique enemies, debuffs, etc).
*Strikes last roughly ten to fifteen minutes, whereas raids can take up to several hours, usually only if players are new to the raid or during the initial few days following the release of a new Raid.
*Raids have no objective markers. A player must find out where to go and what to do by themselves.<ref>[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bcMR7PNbysA '''YouTube''' - ''Everything We Know About Raids'']</ref>
*Raids can be dropped and picked up at a later time in the week. Players don't have to finish them in one sitting, but they do have to finish it before their checkpoint expires every Tuesday, relative to your timezone (10AM PDT).<ref>[http://www.inquisitr.com/1389786/destiny-raids-defended-by-bungie-designer-discusses-how-you-can-quit-and-return/ '''Inquisitor''': 'Destiny' Raids Defended By Bungie, Designer Discusses How You Can Quit And Return]</ref>
*Players will have the opportunity to acquire gear and weapons specific to a raid once an encounter is complete. The gear that drops from the raids will often have perks specific to that raid and are intended to make the raids easier if a player chooses to equip a piece of armor or a weapon from that specific raid, although they are not bound to that activity.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L69hEdbjTmo '''YouTube:''' ''Destiny - David Dague Gamescom 2014 Interview <nowiki>[Difficulty, raids, and future content in Destiny]</nowiki>'']</ref>

===Difficulty===
Two difficulty levels exist for raids: normal, and hard (Master). The normal mode must be completed before the harder ones can be attempted. This means that players who have completed the normal difficulty cannot take players through the hard mode even if they are the fireteam leader. The normal mode is designed to teach players raid mechanics, and how to operate as a team. The hard mode provides tougher enemies, additional objectives and a harsher death penalty. <ref name = "Tough"/>

A special difficulty known as contest mode is available as the only difficulty for the raid during the first 24 (48 for newer raids) hours after a raid’s release. It is intended to be incredibly difficult beyond master mode and to provide challenge to the best raiders in order to create an exciting race for the “World’s First” completion of that raid. Beyond forcing all players to a lower light level cap regardless of each player’s individual light level, enemies are tuned to be more aggressive, and bosses often have significantly increased health and damage resistance over the other two difficulties. The unique rewards are generally cosmetic in the form of an emblem or stat tracker, though recent contest mode raids have also rewarded a guaranteed drop of the exotic weapon for that raid.

====''Destiny''====
*'''Normal Mode''': Players need to wait 30 seconds before a teammate can revive them. Each encounter has easier objectives and enemies are easier to kill. Weapons and armor dropped from normal mode raids drop at a lower [[Light]] cap than hard mode raids.
*'''Hard Mode''': Players cannot be revived at all during an encounter (with the exception of self-reviving [[Sunsinger]]s) but will automatically respawn if the fireteam progresses to the next checkpoint. Also, more difficult obstacles are included, such as additional objectives, harder-to-kill enemies, etc. The [[Light]] cap for items dropped in the hard mode is higher than the normal mode, and some weapons and armor pieces may drop that are exclusive to the hard mode, such as the 'Harrowed' armor and weapons from [[King's Fall]] and the [[Spliced]] armor from [[Wrath of the Machine]].


====''Destiny 2''====
*'''Normal''': Players need to wait 5 seconds before a teammate can revive them. However, each player has one revive token, allowing them to revive only one teammate per encounter.
*'''Prestige''': Exclusive to Year 1 Leviathan raids, which are currently in the [https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/360049202971-Destiny-Content-Vault Destiny Content Vault] and inaccessible. Players lose their revive token on death. Otherwise identical to Hard Mode from ''Destiny''.
*'''Master''': A mode added to all ''Destiny 2'' raids from [[Vault of Glass (raid)|Vault of Glass]]'s reprisal onwards. Enemies have increased strength, durability, and occasionally have stronger variants within the raid. Completing encounter challenges on Master difficulty awards an Adept weapon. It is only available for the latest raid and the current weekly rotator raid.

===Raid Lairs===
[[Raid Lair|Raid Lairs]] are a Raid activity that debuted in Curse of Osiris.
Like Raids, Raid Lairs are six-player activities that feature puzzles, challenging bosses, and exclusive loot, as well as Normal and Prestige difficulty options. Where Raid Lairs differ is their length: they are designed to be shorter encounters than full Raids: [[Leviathan, Eater of Worlds|Eater of Worlds]] is approximately the same length as [[Crota's End]], while [[Spire of Stars]] is slightly longer. Raid lairs were vaulted with the release of [[Beyond Light]].

===Fireteams and checkpoints===
Players need to assemble their fireteam before entering a raid. If desiring to begin from a specific checkpoint in a raid, ensure that the Fireteam leader holds that checkpoint.

There is a checkpoint for every encounter completed, allowing players to return to the raid on other days, within a week (see lockout below). Players should agree upon how much progress they will make in each session if they don't plan on completing the raid in one session.

===Lockout===
Unlike all other activities, the Raid game mode employs a weekly lockout for earning loot. This means two things:

#Players have until the next Tuesday to complete the raid, otherwise their progress will be wiped and they have to start over.
#Players cannot earn new loot from the raid more than once a week per character. Separate characters on the same account can each play the raid and still get loot; this means an individual player can earn loot from a raid (including chests) a maximum of three times (for three characters) per weekly lockout.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoL9EsiaWAA '''Youtube''':''Destiny: What Is a Raid Lockout? How Does It Work?'']</ref>

In ''Destiny 2'', with the release of [[Season of the Haunted]], loot lockout is removed for the latest raid and the current weekly rotator raid, enabling targeted farming of drops.

===Rewards===
Completing a raid rewards players with items not found elsewhere in the game. For example in ''Destiny'', Ascendant [[upgrade material]]s are common in chests, used to upgrade Legendary equipment, and some chests also have a chance to have an exotic weapon. Each encounter also rewards a raid-specific legendary weapon or piece of armor. Completing the raid on a higher difficulty mode will yield the best rewards, such as armor upgrade materials or Adept weapon variants. Aesthetic items such as shaders, emblems, ships and [[Sparrow]]s are also given.

In ''Destiny 2'' as of ''Beyond Light'', raid chests may now drop 3 to 5 [[Spoils of Conquest]], depending on the raid being played, which can be spent on extra loot at a vendor upon completing the raid in all raids from [[Deep Stone Crypt (raid)|Deep Stone Crypt]] onward, or on vaulted raid exotics at the [[Monument To Lost Lights]].

===Content vaulting in Destiny 2===
When [[Beyond Light]] was revealed, it was stated that many destinations were going to be 'vaulted' as part of the Destiny Content Vault, or DCV. This included all raids other than [[Last Wish]] and [[Garden of Salvation]].<ref>[https://bungie.net/7/en/News/article/49189 '''Bungie.net'''-'''Building a Viable Future in Destiny 2''']</ref> When [[Bungie Day]] and [[Moments of Truimph]] 2020 came around, the weekly raid reward lockouts were removed for the soon-to-be-vaulted raids, and players could farm as much as they wanted. The armor from these raids were given the Season of Arrivals max infusion cap, and so were the weapons and armor from Garden of Salvation and Last Wish.<ref>[https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Seasons/Events/MomentsOfTriumph '''Bungie.net'''-'''Moments of Triumph''']</ref> As of [[The Witch Queen]], no expansions or raids will be vaulted, starting from [[Shadowkeep]], allowing players to experience and play the [[The Light and Darkness Saga]] in its entirety.<ref>[https://bungie.net/7/en/News/article/51676 '''Bungie.net'''-'''Destiny 2 Showcase 2022 Recap''']</ref>

==Pantheon==
The '''Pantheon''' was a limited-time raid [[ultra|boss]] gauntlet challenge introduced in [[Into the Light]], that took place from April 30th, 2024 to June 3rd, 2024. The activity consists of several existing raid boss encounters with a handful of minor changes added to increase its difficulty. Each week, the enemy power level is raised by 5 levels above the player, beginning with 5 levels and ending with 20. In addition, the activity is given various different [[modifier]]s.
