Two difficulty levels exist for raids: normal, and hard. The normal mode must be completed before the harder ones can be attempted. This means that players who have completed the normal difficulty cannot take players through the hard mode even if they are the fireteam leader. The normal mode is designed to teach players raid mechanics, and how to operate as a team. The hard mode provides tougher enemies, additional objectives and a harsher death penalty.<ref name = "Tough"/> | Two difficulty levels exist for raids: normal, and hard (Prestige).

Weapons and armor dropped from normal mode raids drop at a lower [[Light]] cap than hard mode raids. | *'''Normal Mode''': Players need to wait 30 seconds before a teammate can revive them.
