Patrol (a.k.a. Explore) is a game mode of Destiny. These missions are open-ended and focused on exploration. Players touch down in an open area and are able to explore at will, along with taking on tasks assigned to them.[1] Minerals and other resources can be found that can be used on weapons and armor. This is a "lower intensity" game mode compared to others, as there are no Darkness Zones or other penalties for death.[2]
Players can bring with them a fireteam with two other people, but can also encounter other players while on patrol. Patrols are useful for gathering miscellaneous loot such as materials, consumables, hidden chests, or rewards for exploration missions. Missions can be acquired on patrol by locating and activating beacons, and are always available.
Patrol is available for the Cosmodrome, Moon, Venus, and Mars. The Taken King will also have a patrol location for the Dreadnought.
