Commendations is a social feature that enables Guardians to express gratitude for each other, celebrating the positive emotions of completing an activity.

 

Commendation Types and How To Earn Them

There are four different categories of Commendations: Ally, Leadership, Mastery, and Fun. Each category contains a set of Commendations with specific attributes such as Perceptive, Heroic, or Thoughtful.

A list of available Commendations can be found below.

After completing any matchmade activity, players can choose to give out Commendations to their teammates through the post-activity screen or through the activity scoreboard. Every matchmade activity has a specific set of Commendations available for players to grant, typically pulled from at least two or three of the broader categories.

Additionally, some Commendations can only be found in higher-end activities such as Trials, Grandmaster Nightfalls, or Raids.

 

Commendation Score

Commendation score is a rough total of all the Commendations given out and received by a player within a Season. A small portion of this accumulated score carries over from one Season to the next. This score, as well as a full collection of all the Commendations earned by a player, can be found by navigating to the Journey tab in-game.
