History of Vanguard Ops
Revision 8923 by archivist at 2026-10-01 23:48:15
Overview
Vanguard Ops is the PvE matchmade playlist run by Commander Zavala. Three Guardians complete a random Strike or Battleground (roughly 10-15 minutes), and progress counts toward ritual activity challenges alongside the Crucible and Gambit.
History
- The Strike playlist became Vanguard Ops with The Witch Queen, absorbing the seasonal Battlegrounds missions; launching specific Battlegrounds individually was removed.
- Lightfall added PsiOps and Heist Battlegrounds (per search-result summary, unverified).
- Sub-playlists include Nightfalls and Onslaught.
- A later search result states that The Edge of Fate largely replaced Strikes and removed the Vanguard Ops playlist in favour of Fireteam Ops in the Portal, with Nightfalls on a daily rotation. This was not confirmed on an opened page, so treat as likely but verify.
