===Difficulty===
===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.

*'''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]].
