This means that players who have completed the normal difficulty cannot take players through the hard mode even if they are not 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"/> | ||
*'''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. | *'''Normal Mode''': Players need to wait 30 seconds before a teammate can revive them.

*'''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]]. | *'''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.

For example, Ascendant [[upgrade material]]s are common in chests, used to upgrade Legendary equipment. Some chests also have a chance to have an exotic weapon. Each boss fight also rewards a raid-specific legendary weapon or piece of armor. Completing the raid on hard mode will yield the best rewards, such as an exotic weapon not found elsewhere, such as the [[Vex Mythoclast]] from the Vault of Glass. Aesthetic items such as shaders, emblems, ships and [[Sparrow]]s are also given. | ||
