Raids are the best part of 'Destiny' - and we've ranked them all

Raids are, by far, the best activities in "Destiny," the first-person shooting game from the original makers of "Halo."

They require six players (but can be accomplished with fewer), lots of coordination, lots of time, and lots of shooting and puzzle-solving. They're challenging, thrilling, and reward you with some of the best loot in the game.

Now, I've played over 1,000 hours of "Destiny" since its 2014 launch, but on Wednesday night I finally tried (and beat) the latest raid in "Destiny," called "Wrath of the Machine." You can play this new raid if you've purchased the latest "Rise of Iron" expansion, which launched in September.

With Wrath of the Machine, "Destiny" now has four completely different raids, so I thought it'd be fun to rank them all. I've rated these raids based on their difficulty, their rewards, and the overall experience. You might have different opinions based on your own personal experiences - and I'd love to hear them! - but here's what I came up with.
