Description	An engram with complex markers. Contains a random Legendary Vanguard weapon or armor piece.
Vendor	Commander Zavala

Vanguard Engram (formerly known as Vanguard Gear) is a Legendary Engram.

Acquisition

1 engram is given as a reward for every rank increased with Commander Zavala. Rank can be increased by completing Vanguard activities. Engrams can be claimed from Commander Zavala's vendor screen.

This engram's quantity can be viewed using the Engram Tracker.

Usage

Claiming an engram from Commander Zavala's vendor screen will immediately decrypt it into a Vanguard weapon or armor item from the current loot pool. They do not need to be taken to Master Rahool to decrypt them.

Players can focus Vanguard Engrams into specific weapons and armor items through the sub-menus on Commander Zavala's vendor screen. The Focused Decoding menu contains weapons from the current loot pool, including regular and Adept Nightfall weapons, while Legacy Gear contains older Nightfall weapons and armor sets that are no longer in rotation. The engrams are consumed automatically when the player purchases an item.

Contents

For Focused Decoding and Legacy Gear options, see Commander Zavala.

Vanguard Engrams can drop the following items when decrypted, as of the Season of the Deep. This engram's contents can also drop when completing a strike or Vanguard activity.

Weapons

Weapons will drop with one trait in the third and fourth perk columns. Resetting rank with Commander Zavala will allow weapons to drop with additional traits in these columns. More resets will allow weapons to drop with more traits, up to 4 resets. Engrams do not need to be claimed before resetting rank, so it is possible to save them for later in order for their rewards to have a chance to drop with additional traits.
