Modifiers change the difficulty of a Story Mission, Strike or Arena.
| Modifier | Effect |
|---|---|
| Angry | Minions of the Darkness won’t flinch, even after massive damage. |
| Arc Burn | Arc damage from any source is increased by 300%. |
| Epic | Heavily shielded and highly aggressive enemies appear in great numbers. |
| Heroic | Enemies appear in greater numbers and are more aggressive. |
| Juggler | No ammo drops for your equipped weapon. |
| Lightswitch | Minions of the Darkness deal much more melee damage. |
| Nightfall | If all players in your fireteam die, you will be returned to orbit. |
| Solar Burn | Solar damage from any source is increased by 300%. |
| Void Burn | Void damage from any source is increased by 300%. |
Please note that in Heroic and Epic Modifiers, the entire encounters are changed. More and more powerful enemies become available. They even have smarter A.I. Nightfall is similar to hardcore mode in other games. As soon as your fireteam wipes, you are kicked out of the mission or strike.
