Introduction
NEW LEGENDS WILL RISE
Humanity's last safe city has fallen to an overwhelming invasion force, led by Ghaul, the imposing commander of the brutal Red Legion. He has stripped the city's Guardians of their power, and forced the survivors to flee. You will venture to mysterious, unexplored worlds of our solar system to discover an arsenal of weapons and devastating new combat abilities. To defeat the Red Legion and confront Ghaul, you must reunite humanity's scattered heroes, stand together, and fight back to reclaim our home.

Primary, Special, and Heavy weapons are now categorized as Kinetic, Energy and Power. Primary and some Special weapons are now Kinetic if they deal no elemental damage, and Energy if they deal Arc, Solar or Void damage. Artifacts have been removed, their slot is taken by Clan Banners. Discipline, Intellect and Strength stats have been replaced with Mobility, Recovery and Resilience.
Trials of Osiris have been replaced with Trials of the Nine.
