What are Destiny 2 Glory Ranks?
Destiny 2 uses these as a way of measuring how good a player is, and they can determine what level of rewards you can obtain.
Guardians that want to test themselves have many ranks to power through, and it can help improve your ability, leading to a more successful time doing Raids and other single-player content.
How to rank up Glory Ranks
Glory points are earned by winning matches in the Crucible – a competitive PvP mode in Destiny 2 – with enough points enabling you to move up a Glory Rank.
Taking part in the competitive playlist will allow players to fight against a variety of different skill levels as the game mode favors connection-based matchmaking as opposed to the modern-day norm of skill-based matchmaking.
The Quickplay playlist will not level up your Glory, so instead, make sure you are only sticking to Competitive Crucible modes.
