Commendations are a system added in the Season of Defiance. They allow players to show appreciation to each other after completing activities together. They also act as a representation of a player's good behavior within the game.

Overview

Commendations can be given at the end of an activity through the mission summary screen. Each player is given a set of commendation cards, with the available types of cards depending on the activity. A player can commend another player by selecting them and then choosing a card to give. Players can only give one of each available card per activity, and can only commend a specific player once per activity. If a player has left the activity, they cannot be commended. The mission summary screen also cannot be accessed again if the player leaves the activity, or if the next activity begins.

Commendations are separated into four categories, each represented by a playing card suit and a color:

  • Ally, represented by Hearts in green;
  • Mastery, represented by Clubs in yellow;
  • Fun, represented by Spades in red;
  • Leadership, represented by Diamonds in blue.

The player's Commendations score can be seen in the Journey menu tab. The Commendations sub-screen also displays the amount of each card that the player has received, with a bar showing the percentage that each category makes up out of the total. The total amount of Commendations sent and received is also listed.

Some Guardian Ranks objectives require the player to commend other players (sometimes in specific types of activities), or require the player to reach a certain Commendations score by receiving cards from other players.

Notes

  • On the mission summary screen, all players are shown wielding a Khvostov 7g-02 icon1.jpg Khvostov 7G-02 Auto Rifle, rather than one of the weapons they have equipped. The developers have said that the Khvostov was chosen as a "default weapon" for situations like this to avoid visual bugs.[1]
