Battlegrounds

Behemoth Battleground (Nessus): In a bid to earn Empress Caiatl’s favor, a Cabal force has descended on Europa to scour the icy moon for relics of the Golden Age including the secrets of the Exo contained in the Deep Stone Crypt. Travel to Europa and put a stop to this operation.
Hailstone Battleground (Europa): Empress Caiatl has deployed a tank fortress to Nessus and opened an invitation to survivors of the Red Legion to vie for a seat on her War Council. Vanquish the Cabal and prove yourself in glorious combat against her Chosen.
Cleansing Battleground (Cosmodrone): In an act of vengeance for the destruction of their homeworld, the Cabal have struck out against a Hive nest dug deep into the Cosmodrome. Use this opportunity to hit the Cabal hard and show them that humanity will not back down.
Oracle Battleground (Nessus): A group of former Red Legion Psions are communing with Vex prediction engines deep within Nessus. They seek to gain tactical insights by analyzing simulations of future events against their own psychic foresight. Eliminate this threat before they can deliver their intelligence to Empress Caiatl.

Regarding Change from Battlegrounds to Vanguard Ops:

Bungie discussed in an earlier TWAB, that the Season 13 Battlegrounds activities have been added to the Vanguard Strikes playlist, and this playlist has been renamed Vanguard Ops.

As a reminder, the four new Battlegrounds coming with the new Season are:

Behemoth – Nessus
Oracle – Nessus
Hailstone – Europa
Foothold – Cosmodrome

The actual Battlegrounds activities are the direct-launch/no-champion version of the Battleground, as these match the length and difficulty of most of the Strikes in the playlist. Any bounties, quests, Triumphs, or challenges used to reference strikes now references Vanguard Ops instead.

NOTE: Rewards available from this activity will be added to this page ASAP!
