Overview

Arena is a special cooperative game mode that pits players against a series of trials.^[2] It is a cross between Raids and Strikes.

Prison of Elders

The Prison of Elders is an Arena located in The Reef and features a randomized base mode with matchmaking available, as well as several higher-level challenge modes that rotate each week, offering more rewards. It applies a different Modifier each round, and a different set of Modifiers per week, and may contain critical objectives that the three-player team must complete, or else the team wipes.^[3]

In the April Update, this was expanded with the Challenge of the Elders with an Elder's Sigil required to gain access with scoring system implemented; points are deducted after five minutes have passed.^[4]

The Reckoning

The Reckoning is an Arena Activity on the Haul in Destiny 2.

Wager motes to attempt to gain the favor of the Nine.

Wager your motes to fight waves of Taken to earn the prizes and accolades of the Nine.

Modifiers apply and change every day to the Tiers.

The Menagerie

The Menagerie is a 6-player Arena activity that takes place aboard the Leviathan. It requires players to persevere through a series of 7 different encounters before finally facing one of 3 randomized bosses.

Vex Offensive

Vex Offensive was a 6-player Arena activity that sent players back into the Black Garden to stop a Vex incursion from happening on the Moon. The final boss was Crotheon, Gate Keeper, who was replaced by The Undying Mind during the Final Assault. As of the end of the Season of the Undying, it is no longer available.
