Community Challenge: Commander's Orders Escalated

Guardians from all over the globe have come together to take on the most recent Community Challenge. It's been amazing to see how fast you've all banded together to arm yourselves and take the fight to the Vanguard's enemies. And you've blown the initial target goal out of the water! At the time of this article, you've defeated more than 21 million enemies already to earn the Commander's Salute emblem shown below.

But we're not quite done yet! Because of how amazing you all have been doing, we've decided to add a new emblem to earn, with an extra goal. For reaching the new community goal of 50 million PvE enemy defeats using Zavala's selected weapons, you'll earn the Gold Stars emblem shown below.

Everyone who has contributed to the original goal of 15 million kills using Zavala's selected weapons for this challenge will earn the Commander's Salute emblem shown above. Additionally, anyone who helps with getting to 50 million kills using those weapons will earn the Commander's Salute emblem as well as the Gold Stars emblem.

Need a reminder of what weapons contribute to this challenge? Check out the list below.

• Mint Retrograde - Micro Missile Frame Pulse Rifle
• Unfall - Micro Missile/Together Forever Frame Sidearm
• MIDA Macro-Tool - Precision/MIDA Synergy Frame Shotgun
• Hawthorne's Field-Forged - Lightweight Shotgun
