Elite

Overview

Elite is a Destiny 2 triumph that tracks the elimination of enemy combatants classified as Elites. The objective requires the player to progress through a total of seven eliminations. The triumph description notes that these Vanguard forces have proven they can defeat humanity's most difficult challenges and are now taking them down, one by one.

How to complete

To complete the triumph, eliminate seven Elite enemies across any faction. Elites are a rank of combatant introduced in Destiny 2 that serve a role similar to Major enemies from Destiny. They are visually distinct from Minor enemies, typically featuring an orange health bar segmented into three parts, larger than that of an equivalent Minor.

Elites are identified by specific adjectives or names depending on their faction and affiliation:
