Explain exploration please

As i understand, Exploration sends you to a huge map (skyrim style or separated in small maps?) and then you do what in there? kill things like in missions, for what? to collect what? is it solo or you can find people there like not instanced areas in MMOs? How exactly exploration works?

    you can LITERALLY walk around and shoot things in the face! all this and more... but mostly just running around and shooting things in the face.

  • Personally I think 'explore' as a mode is misleading when it's more like a 'free roam'. Explore covers the same areas as the story mode, just with mini quests such as scout here, or kill these things, with reputation as the payout. Also good for bounties.

    • Explore mode drops you of in the same map as you travel when doing story missions, the area is a limited instance that you and a small number of players share (just like a story mission), however unlike a story mission, which locks you into one "quest" at the start in explore you are free to roam the map. During your exploration you can find small beacons all over the place which gives you a minor quest of a random nature.

    • You're on patrol, soldier! Your duty out in the field is to assist in anyway possible. From small errands found via beacons or killing every ilk that represents the Darkness! Now get to work!

      exploring helps you with faction stat's for that faction plus for better weapons, armour, light from them. each faction has it's own style of weapons and armour. plus if you wear any of that faction armour when next visiting them they give you better or more glimmer, light etc. exploring has (like the other dude says) has little missions spread out the area for all factions, like mini missions. quick answer sorry got work to got to but hope helps lol happy hunting come the 9th

      • There's an exploration mission on each of the planets. You can free roam around the whole map and there are side missions connected to a certain faction. During the Beta, you could explore Old Russia and there were beacons scattered around the map that you could get Vanguard missions from.
