• Bungie has released information about the new Vanguard Orders coming with Destiny 2: Renegades arriving shortly after Destiny 2: Renegades launches.

Say hello to Vanguard Alerts, coming in Week 2 of Renegades.

Vanguard Alerts allow you and your fireteam to complete a range of activities available to players at all skill levels for rewards that will help you progress in the game. Activities include different playlists, our new Grandmaster Vanguard Alert, and The Desert Perpetual raid as well as the upcoming Renegades dungeon. 

Vanguard Alerts should feel similar to the Vanguard Ops playlist and Grandmaster Nightfalls of old. The goal was to bring back the feeling of logging into Destiny 2 for the week and immediately knowing what activities to start with to get you and your fireteam that good loot, giving you an opportunity to have fun while building up to harder activities.

The Activities 

To complete Vanguard Alerts, open the Seasonal Hub and go to the new Vanguard Alerts tab. You can view the playlists and activities for the week, see the rewards, and view the activity challenges. They rotate weekly, so every week should feel like a new challenge is awaiting you and your friends. 

Vanguard Alert, Arena Vanguard Alert, Crucible 

These playlists contain a set of activities including the new six-player PvE Arena Ops that are fast, uncomplicated to complete, and have pre-set modifiers. These are best for players that just want to relax and play some PvE while still earning great rewards.

Grandmaster Vanguard Alert  

These are more difficult activities where you and your fireteam can test your mettle (and your newly acquired rewards and Power level). Rotating weekly, Grandmaster Vanguard Alerts should take slightly longer and offer greater rewards for your time and effort, as they are harder than the usual Grandmaster difficulty you found elsewhere in the Portal. Think of them as the Grandmaster Nightfalls of old. 

Dungeon and Raid 

We included dungeons and raids in Vanguard Alerts to give you easy access to these activities. The Renegades dungeon and The Desert Perpetual raid have weekly challenges that grant rewards from their correspondent reward pools. 

The Rewards 

Bungie wants Vanguard Alerts to be a place where you start your week in Destiny 2, so its rewards have been designed to accommodate that. 

• Each week, the Vanguard, Arena Ops, and Crucible Alerts will offer a multi-stage challenge, with rewards and XP granted for each stage completed.
  • The weapons you earn from completing each stage will be Tier 3 or above, based on your account Power, and among the highest Power drops you can earn in Destiny 2. 
  • On top of that, they are a primary source for seasonal weapons featuring the Accelerated Assault Origin Trait which loads a small amount of ammo to the weapon after dealing sustained damage.
    • Crucible Alerts will offer Crucible weapons, specifically. 
  • Additionally, once each week, you can earn the following bonus rewards for completing the first stage in each Alert category:
    • Vanguard Alert: 50 Chronologs 
    • Arena Ops: 50 Bright Dust
    • Crucible: 50 Bright Dust 
  • You can repeat the playlist activities and receive regular rewards based on score with a random chance of gaining another seasonal weapon with the extra Origin Trait. 
  • Completing Grandmaster Vanguard Alerts with a Grade B or higher will reward one pinnacle weapon with the Accelerated Assault Origin Trait and Bonus XP. 
  • Completing The Desert Perpetual raid and Renegades dungeon weekly challenge grants a seasonal bonus powerful gear reward from either activity. 

What’s Next for Vanguard Alerts? 

Bungie is working on further improvements for Vanguard Alerts that they will share as soon as possible. In the meantime, they can share that they are looking into adding legacy content including raids and dungeons to the weekly rotation and finding a permanent location for Vanguard Alerts in the Portal as well as exploring expanding the activity and reward offerings in a future update.

The version launching in the next few weeks is a foundation and we want your help to determine what to build up next. Use #VanguardAlerts on Twitter/X and Bluesky to share your thoughts on the following: 

• What legacy activities would you like to see included in Vanguard Alerts? What activities do you miss and would you like to run again with your fireteams? 
• Where would you expect to find Vanguard Alerts in the Portal? We understand the seasonal home isn’t the most convenient, and we want them to be easy to access. 

Bungie looks forward to hearing from you about Vanguard Alerts and they hope you find them a valuable way to start your week playing Destiny 2.
