How to unlock the Vanguard Honor achievement in Destiny - Definitive Guide

Level 1 - Requires 1500 Vanguard Reputation
Level 2 - Requires 2000 Vanguard Reputation
Level 3 - Requires 2500 Vanguard Reputation - Confirmed by HolyHa1fDead

Vanguard Reputation is earned in the following:

Strike Playlist rewards +10 / +12 / +14 / +25 upon completion depending on level chosen.

Patrol Missions rewards +10 / +25 upon completion.

Weekly Heroic Strike rewards +150 / +250 / +400 upon completion depending on level chosen.

Vanguard Bounty rewards +50 / +100 upon completion.

Quickest possible solution is to complete all daily Bounty challenges and complete Patrol Missions.

Another heads up; If you have a factions bond, mark or cloak (ie from New Monarchy) all your reputation will go to leveling for their store and NOT go towards your vanguard level.

By completing the weekly nightfall strike you gain a 1.2x xp modifier, this also gives some extra rep for completing missions on patrol.

Hi,

I'm not sure I understand the last part, would you please explain?
So, if I equipped a Titan mark (Mark of the Chain/Mark of Diligence), my reputation doesn't add to my vanguard level?

If so, how can I change that, is it enough to just dismantle those titan marks?

Thanks man!

If you go to either: dead orbit, new monarchy or future war cult then buy and equip a mark from them it will level up their rank for you to buy gear from their shop instead of going towards your vanguard and crucible levels. If its a mark from anywhere else it won't make a difference as far as I know, hope that clears it up for you.

At the tower either go to the person you get your gear from after the first mission (straight ahead, down the stairs, past the crucible 'stores' and around the long table) or to the vanguard armory located in the shipyard. It is on left side of the screen once you engage with them, there is a circle of your reputation earned so far.

Confirmed that it is 2500 for Rank 3. I am nearly rank 3 in Dead Orbit. I can't believe only 2 gamers have this achievement, if I hadn't switched to Dead Orbit I would have this by now.

Thanks for letting us know this, I was wearing a future war cloak for ages not realising I wasn't getting vanguard ranks.

So I had 2355/2500 for rank 3, did a 100point bounty and 5 patrols to finish. Achievement didn't pop and when I checked my vanguard rank it said rank 3 0/2500??
I got the package for levelling up my vanguard rank too.

Same problem with my rank as well. Signed in and out twice and nothing. Maybe I will try earning rep in another faction then switch back and do a bounty or something to see if it pops

Thumbs up. Not directly relating to this but what's the requirement to receive a commendation? I've noticed that for some items you need Vanguard marks, a certain level and a commendation.

dumb question, I currently have the Dead Orbit one under "Missions" in the Inventory. I can discard that one and regain it but I have no clue where to get the Vanguard version from?
Also when I go back to the Titan Vanguard Dealer I don't see how many reputation I currently have. Maybe it changed with the latest Updates / The Taken King?

I can confirm that if you are having trouble the following method that NAGAROT suggested works for glitched achievements:

Press Start > Settings > Log Out > Switch Profile > Press A at menu > Select your profile > select the character with the Vanguard Rank 3+ and it should pop up

This trophy is a bit of a grind, but not too bad (well at least not when compared to some of Destiny's trophies...).

You need to get enough Vanguard reputation to get to Level 3. Vanguard reputation can be earned by:
Patrol missions: 10 each, or 25 for the 'eliminate target' missions
Bounties (available from the Bounty Tracker in the Tower, refresh daily): 50-100 each
Strike playlist: 25 each
Exchanging crafting materials: 25 rep for 50 materials.

Each time you complete one you'll see a progress circle pop up on the RHS side of your screen. This is also visible if you go visit the Vanguard guys in the tower.

Personally I find the most time-effective option is generally bounties and patrol missions. You can often combine these with Public Events to earn Vanguard Marks to buy stuff too.

Allegedly you need around 6000 rep in total to hit Level 3. Certain Tower vendors sell Vanguard gear that is only available at rep level 2 and rep level 3 in exchange for Vanguard Marks also.

Edit: note also that you won't earn Vanguard rep whilst wearing a faction-specific piece of class armor (Cloak / Mark / Bond) such as those available from Dead Orbit, New Monarchy or the Future War Cult. Wearing a faction class item means any earned rep goes to that faction rather than Vanguard rep. Any class armor that isn't tied to a faction will ensure you earn Vanguard rep.

Vanguard Rank 3 will require a total of 6,500 rep. The rep rewards change based on your level, so hitting a higher level will make it easier to max your rank. The rewards are as follows:

  • Daily Heroic Story Mission: +150 (Level 20) up to +350 (Level 28)
  • Weekly Heroic Strike: +150 (Level 22) up to +400 (Level 28)
  • Vanguard Bounties: +50 up to +100
  • Material Exchange: +25

I would again advise against doing the material exchange since it takes so long for such a small reward, and the materials are much better used for upgrades.

See Valorous for the reputation breakdown. You will need a total of 6000 Vanguard reputation points to reach rank 3 (1,500 for rank 1, 2,000 for rank 2, and 2,500 for rank 3).
