Fireteams are optional in [[Story Mission|story missions]] and on [[patrol]], but are required in [[strike]]s. Players can form their own fireteams if they wish, but if they enter a strike alone, they'll be matched with players of similar rank playing on the same strike mission. Forming a fireteam is necessary if one wants to bring other players into a [[darkness zone]]. Fireteam leaders depend on how many kills they have, how many team mate retrieves they have made, and how many Ghosts have been retrieved. Guardians can form a fireteam up to the size of six Guardians in a [[Raid]], such as the [[Vault of Glass]].

 

Players can form fireteams in one of two ways: send an invitation, or public meetup. If a player has their Fireteam Privacy set to "Invitation Only", then anyone wishing to have that player on their fireteam must send them an invitation in-game via the player inspection menu. But if that player's privacy is set to "Public", any nearby player can automatically join.
