It rewards six different nodes that change every week, and completing them rewards you with different trophies. Each of the Portal nodes may also receive a bonus focus for these actions, which is not included in this calculation.

Six activities:

• Quickplay Arena Ops playlist
• Fixed grandmaster challenge (limit -50).
• Raid Challenge
• Dungeon Challenge
• PvP challenge

Problems for Fireteam Ops, Arena Ops, and Crucible operations only require event participation. for the first step. For completing any of the actions three times, you will receive a specific weapon and other loot from the corresponding playlist. Fireteam and Arena Ops have the same weapons each week, but the Crucible has a different reward available. The remaining two stages drop more gears.

In addition to issuing Vanguard Alerts, Bungie has made it so that Season Pass owners at level 550 can still earn a B grade for Quick Play activities.which is enough to earn the Bonus Focus award.

Ultimatum Portal's difficulty is capped at -30, so expect even stronger resistance than usual to the likes of Mythic Kepler as it was upon release.

The first time you complete a Grandmaster Challenge with a B or better, you'll receive a replica of a Tier 5 Pinnacle Ops weapon with an additional Origin trait. Subsequent completions at level B or higher will still end up at level five, but have a low chance of boasting a second origin trait.

Finally, challenges in raids and dungeons seem to require you to complete all encounters in those activities, giving you more powerful gear for your time.

Ultimately, Vanguard Alert playlists offer a little more variety in a game that has been struggling since the addition of a controversial portal system and the removal of seasonal content.
