Raid is a game mode of Destiny. Raids are 6-player cooperative events that are of high challenge, and require communication between players to succeed.[1] They involve specific quests for groups of fireteams.[2]
Raids differ from strikes in a few ways:
- 6 player fireteams, as opposed to 3.
- No matchmaking. A player must form a fireteam beforehand.
- Raid enemies will have abilities not found elsewhere in the game.
- Raids are significantly longer than strikes.
- Raids have no objective markers. A player must find out where to go and what to do themselves.[3]
- 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.[4]
- Players will not have the gear necessary to complete a Raid. Gear acquisition within the Raid itself is necessary.[5]
Lockout
Unlike all other activities, the Raid game mode employs a weekly lockout for earning loot. This means two things:
1. Players have until the next Tuesday to complete the raid, otherwise their progress will be wiped and they have to start over. 2. 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 for a maximum of three times (for three characters) per weekly lockout.[6]
