Vanguard Rank

"A Guardian's word is only as strong as their reputation. And the Vanguard doesn't forget." —Commander Zavala

Complete strikes and Seasonal activities to gain Vanguard Rank points. Complete them back-to-back to increase your activity streak. Earn more Rank points with higher streaks for higher difficulty Nightfalls.

Starting a different ritual activity may reduce your streak.

Players can increase their rank with Zavala by completing Vanguard activities, including strikes and Nightfalls. Completing activities will also increase the player's Vanguard activity streak, granting increased reputation rewards with each match, up to a maximum streak of 5. The player's current streak can be seen by hovering over the reputation icon on the Vanguard screen in the Director. Completing Crucible, Gambit, or Dares of Eternity activities will reduce the player's Vanguard streak while adding to those activities' streaks. Players can only have a total of 5 streak progress across all four activity types, rebalancing depending on the activities completed.[1]

Each rank will reward a Vanguard Engram icon.png Vanguard Engram, stored on Commander Zavala's vendor screen, which can either be decrypted into gear from the current Vanguard loot pool, or focused into specific items in the Focused Decoding and Legacy Gear sub-menus. They have a maximum capacity of 99, and will disappear at the end of the season if not used.

Some weeks will feature a modifier that increases the amount of Vanguard Rank points gained. When this is active, an "Increased Vanguard Rank" modifier will be visible when launching Vanguard activities. This modifier will be active until the next Tuesday reset. Bonus Vanguard Rank weeks are usually announced the weekend before through a "Next Week in Destiny" alert in-game.

Rank can be reset to 1 after rank 16 is completed. Resetting rank once will give a chance for non-Nightfall weapons obtained from Vanguard activity completions, Vanguard Engram decryptions, and Focused Decoding to drop with additional Traits in the third and fourth perk columns. The chance and number of additional perks increase with each reset, up to 4 resets.[2]

Quests

Focused Decoding

Commander Zavala Focused Decoding icon.jpg

Vanguard Engrams, earned by increasing one's rank with Zavala, can be focused into specific weapons and armor items with random rolls. Alternatively, they can be decrypted from the vendor screen to reward random drops from the current Vanguard loot pool. This loot pool is the same as the weapons and armor available under "Focused Decoding". To focus an engram into a specific item, the item must first be unlocked in Collections.

Weapons

These weapons can be obtained as drops from Vanguard activities or Vanguard Engrams. These weapons will have one trait each in the third and fourth perk columns. Resetting rank once with Commander Zavala will give a chance for these weapons to decode or drop with additional traits in these columns. More resets will increase this chance, as well as the number of additional perks, up to 4 resets.[2]

Each weapon costs 1 Vanguard Engram icon.png Vanguard Engram, Legendary shards icon1.png25, and Glimmer1.png5,000.

Nightfall

These weapons are available from the current season's Nightfall strike weekly rotation. Each weapon costs 1 Vanguard Engram icon.png Vanguard Engram, Legendary shards icon1.png25, and Glimmer1.png20,000.

Adept Nightfall

Adept Nightfall weapons can be obtained from Grandmaster Nightfalls. Only the Adept version of the current week's Nightfall weapon will be available for focusing.
