History of Quickplay

Overview

Quickplay is the base-difficulty entry of the Quickplay playlist, a rotating selection of short missions drawn from campaign and destination areas, playable through Solo Ops and Fireteam Ops (Vanguard Ops). The game data lists a recommended Power of 300, but this is likely a legacy value: current Solo Ops use a score and grade system where the base tier starts at grade B (Normal) (Normal B, Advanced B+, Expert A, Master A+, Grandmaster S, Ultimate S+).

Rewards

Gear is graded by final rank, so higher tiers and higher grades give better loot. Solo Ops gear can be focused via Commander Zavala with Vanguard engrams. See the rewards list for the full item pool.

Notes

Playlists and scoring have changed across seasons (Monument of Triumph simplified scoring), so older descriptions may be outdated. A forum reply notes Quickplay modifiers are fixed, so high grades depend mainly on gear power.
