History of Rank

Overview

Rank can mean several progression systems in Destiny 2:

• Guardian Ranks - 11 ranks from New Light to Paragon, advanced by completing tasks, not XP; returning players start at 6 (Veteran) and ranks above 6 reset seasonally per Shacknews and others.
• Glory Rank (Crucible), Vanguard Rank, and Valor.
• Season Pass and Seasonal Hub ranks (see Reward Track).
• Vendor ranks, e.g. Trials of Osiris with 17 ranks.

Shacknews and PCGamesN disagree on the starting rank for veterans in detail; see Guardian Ranks.
