Guardian Games, Destiny 2’s friendly competition between Hunters, Warlocks, and Titans, encourages Guardians everywhere to compete as their favorite class for fame and glory. The free in-game event kicks off today and will last for three weeks, until the end of Season of Defiance on May 23.
During Guardian Games, players will earn Medallions for activities across the game, including a class-based version of the popular PvP mode Supremacy. That’s right, get ready for even more fierce competition in the Crucible.
While participating in the event, players can earn two Guardian Games weapons:
- Taraxippos – The first Legendary Strand Scout Rifle in the game.
- The Title – The Void Submachine Gun is back with updates, including the fan-favorite perk, Repulsor Brace.
Also free for players is the Guardian Games Event Card. By completing challenges on their card, players can obtain cosmetic rewards like a new Exotic emote, the brand-new Champ title, as well as extra Triumphs. The Event Card can be upgraded for 1,000 Silver to unlock instant and additional earnable rewards.
