'''Strike''' is a cooperative mode featured in ''[[Destiny]]''. They are 30 minute quests designed for a [[fireteam]] of three players, with a boss battle at the end. Enemy composition is varied, and different each time.<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>  
'''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>

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


*Vanguard Eagle - level 18
===Year One===
*Vangaurd Viper - level 20
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 Wolf - level 22
*Vanguard Tiger - level 24
*Vangaurd Roc - level 26
*Vanguard Dragon - level 28


''[[The Taken King]]'' will replace the above playlists with three new ones:
*'''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 Dragon''' - level 28, added by ''[[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]]''


*Vanguard Legacy - includes all Year One strikes only, no [[modifiers]]
===Year Two===
*Vanguard Ursa - includes all Year One and Year Two strikes, Heroic modifier active
''[[The Taken King]]'' replaces all Year One playlists with the following:
*Vanguard Marmoset - includes all Year Two strikes only, no modifiers


==Weekly Strikes==
*'''Vanguard Legacy''' - includes all Year One strikes only, no [[modifiers]]
Heroic and [[Nightfall]] versions of each strike are available each week for a higher-difficulty challenge, with greater rewards available. Heroic Weekly Strikes feature the Heroic [[modifier]] active in addition to one other randomly-chosen modifier. Nightfall Strikes feature 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.
*'''Vanguard Normal''' - Light level 200 required, includes all Year Two strikes only, no modifiers
*'''Vanguard Heroic''' - Light level 260 required, includes all Year One and Year Two strikes, Heroic 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.


Nightfall Strikes do not include matchmaking, requiring players to fight alone or assemble a fireteam of three before starting. Heroic Weekly Strikes formerly did not include matchmaking either, but as of patch 1.1.1, they became a matchmaking activity.<ref>[https://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=12607 '''Bungie''' - ''Destiny Update - 02/25/2015'']</ref>
==Nightfall Strikes==
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 fireteam 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>
