'''Strike''' is a cooperative mode featured in ''[[Destiny]]''. Strikes represent a middle ground in PvE content between [[Story|Story missions]] and [[Raid]]s in terms of length and difficulty, and are optimized for a [[fireteam]] of three players. Usually, Strikes are composed of a linear series of enemy encounters which may or may not include a mini-boss, culminating in a battle against one or more bosses supported by additional enemies.<ref>[http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/apr/28/destiny-hands-on-bungie-xbox-playstationshared-world-shooter '''The Guardian''': ''how the makers of Halo plan to change the future of shooters'']</ref> Some of the newer strikes feature simple puzzle mechanics that make boss fights more challenging.

As of ''[[The Taken King]]'', Strikes have a chance to drop Strike-specific loot that can help gear players up in preparation for Raids. Playing in a Strike playlist continuously increases the chances of better loot on consecutive strikes.

==Strike playlists==
Higher-level versions of each Strike are available in the Strike playlists. Entering a playlist will launch a random Strike alongside two matchmade players.

===Year One===
These playlists were available during Year One of ''Destiny'', and incorporated all available base game and expansion Strikes. Playlists at higher levels offered greater rewards.

*'''Vanguard Eagle''' - Level 18
*'''Vanguard Viper''' - Level 20
*'''Vanguard Wolf''' - Level 22
*'''Vanguard Tiger''' - Level 24
*'''Vanguard Roc''' - Level 26, added by ''[[The Dark Below]]''

*'''Vanguard Heroic Strikes''' - [[Light]] Level 260 required, includes Year Two and select "remixed" Year One strikes strikes, Heroic and one random modifier active
**The Vanguard Heroic playlist replaces the Weekly Heroic Strike; players are rewarded for the first three strikes completed in this playlist each week across all of a player's characters.

===Year Three===
'''[[Rise of Iron]]''''s Strike playlists retain the Vanguard Legacy and Vanguard Strikes, but adds two new playlists and renames Vanguard Strikes to Taken War:

*'''Taken War''' - Completion of [[The Taken King Campaign]] required, includes Strikes from Year 2 and 3 Remastered Strikes from Year 1
*'''SIVA Crisis''' - Light Level 320 required, includes Strikes from Year One to Year Three with no modifiers.

Legacy Strikes are unlocked after completing the [[Story]] mission [[Fury]] and returning to [[The Farm]] to speak to Commander [[Zavala]], Only for Non-Forsaken Players. Level 30, Level 40, and Level 50 are unlocked after buying Forsaken. Every Playlist has modifiers.

As of ''[[Shadowkeep]]'', there is now only one Strike playlist apart from Nightfalls. This playlist incorporates all Strikes available to the player.

*'''Vanguard Strikes''' - Power Level 750 required, with a weekly rotating elemental singe and daily rotating modifiers.

===Year Seven===
No changes were made to Strike playlists in ''[[Beyond Light]]'', except for removing the normal Nightfall Strikes in favor of Nightfall: The Ordeal. It incorporates all Strikes, including from expansions not owned by the player.

*'''Vanguard Strikes''' - Power Level 1050 required, with a weekly rotating elemental singe and daily rotating modifiers.<ref group="Note">During the initial weeks of ''Beyond Light''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s launch, the minimum Power Level was unintentionally set to 1100.</ref>

===Year Eight===
With the release of ''[[The Witch Queen]]'', the Strike playlist now incorporates [[Battlegrounds]] and has become the Vanguard Ops playlist. 

*'''Vanguard Ops''' - Power Level 1350 required, with a weekly rotating elemental singe and daily rotating modifiers.

===Year Nine===
With the release of ''[[Lightfall]]'', the Vanguard Ops playlist now incorporates [[PsiOps Battlegrounds]] and [[Heist Battlegrounds]]. 

*'''Vanguard Ops''' - Power Level 1600 required, but it is now disabled across the playlist, resulting in fixed difficulty. Weekly rotating elemental surges, threats and daily rotating modifiers.

==Nightfall Strikes==
{{Main|Nightfall}}
A random Strike is selected each week for the [[Nightfall|Nightfall Strike]], a high-difficulty challenge with the Nightfall and Epic [[modifiers]] active in addition to three other randomly-chosen modifiers; after ''The Taken King'' is released, the latter three modifiers will be manually selected by Bungie each week instead of randomized. Nightfall Strikes do not include matchmaking, requiring players to fight alone or assemble a fire team of three before starting. Rewards include Legendary and Exotic gear.<ref>[https://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=12607 '''Bungie''' - ''Destiny Update - 02/25/2015'']</ref>
