As the Destiny 2 Guardian Games wrap up on Tuesday, April 1st, 2025, we cheer for the Titans, who triumphed with an impressive tally of day-to-day wins.

You haven’t lost the chance to embody your class and engage in the event. Go ahead and collect as many medallions and weapons as possible before the event concludes following this weekend.

If you’ve come across this text, it’s possible that you haven’t had an opportunity to participate in the recent Guardian Games event titled Rushdown, or perhaps you are eager to acquire the unique Allstar Vector skimmer reward associated with the Guardian Games or the Godly Array shader.

No need to fret! Here’s a concise yet thorough rundown of the 2025 Guardian Games. I’ve got some useful strategies to help you farm those medallions, ensuring you stand out for your class and collect your well-deserved prizes!

I hope this helps make your gaming experience more enjoyable and rewarding! Good luck in the Guardian Games!

How To Access

If you haven’t played Guardian Games at all during the last fortnight since its release, don’t forget to pick up the quest from Eva Levante, who can be found right in the heart of the Tower.

As a gamer, I’ll hand you a mission and a unique Guardian Games class item, which happens to be a free Artifice Armor. You need to wear it to automatically gather medallions over time.

To finish this task, please adhere to the guidelines provided in the mission: first, use your recently acquired class item; second, participate in a Guardian Games event; third, interact with Eva; fourth, speak with Zavala; and lastly, converse with Shaxx. This should be quite simple to accomplish.

As for me, I’ve got the freedom to decide my course of action here! I could carry on with my usual activities or dive into the thrill of the Guardian Games, taking part in intense matches of Rushdown and Supremacy instead. The choice is all mine!

Apart from selling Contender Cards that grant Gold, Platinum, and Diamond Medallions, Eva also deals in Bounties. You can acquire Bronze and Silver Medallions simply by finishing tasks using the Guardian Games class item.

Rushdown

In the game mode known as Rushdown, you face off against five progressively challenging bosses within a set time limit. At the beginning, you’ll have ten respawn tokens available to you.

1. If you don’t wrap up an encounter within the given time or run out of revive chances, you’ll have to end Rushdown prematurely and receive only a modest amount of loot.

2. To secure a guaranteed Guardian Games weapon, you need to successfully complete at least three boss encounters.

As your score increases, it becomes more probable that you’ll receive weapons boasting multiple advantages. The magnitude of your score depends on the speed at which you wrap up encounters and the number of revive tokens you expend.

The situation presents three challenges: The ‘Warm-Up’ level lacks any modifiers or revival tokens; as for ‘Standard’ and ‘Expert’, they share similarities, but the opponents in ‘Expert’ hit significantly harder and have more health.

This version aims to maintain a natural and easy-to-read style while providing an alternative expression of your original text. The new sentence structure helps clarify the relationships between the different levels, emphasizing that while ‘Standard’ and ‘Expert’ share similarities, there are distinct differences in terms of enemy difficulty between them.

It’s best to aim for finishing the Standard level swiftly, while the Expert level should ideally progress at a more gradual pace. Notably, all Rushdown difficulties can be matched. I would advise taking on the Expert difficulty since its challenge isn’t significantly greater than that of a Nightfall.

In each instance, you face off against a significant boss character from Destiny’s past, be it during an Exotic quest or a storyline mission.

The sequence of boss battles you’ll face in Rushdown changes every day. While the goals for these encounters are generally clear-cut, certain mechanisms involved may not be immediately apparent.

To conquer the challenging Rushdown mode at its highest level, it’s crucial that you equip your finest setup. Due to the numerous engagements, a detailed strategy guide might not suffice. Therefore, ensure your loadout is well-equipped to handle both clearing additional elements and dealing significant damage to bosses.

As a gamer, I prioritize staying alive above all else, because it’s wiser to play cautiously and save my life tokens instead of using them up quickly.

Supremacy

For those who enjoy Player versus Player battles, Supremacy is quite simple: Your goal is to defeat your adversaries and claim their Badges of Honor.

Instead of overlooking it frequently, ensure you grab fallen comrades’ badges when they fall in battle, as doing so prevents the opposing team from gaining a score.

While getting kills is pretty important, it doesn’t matter if you don’t pick up their crests.

In the Guardian Games, it’s a battle between classes, where you’ll engage in combat against an entire enemy team consisting solely of one class, while you and your teammates will be playing characters of the same class.

From my perspective, I’ve noticed that Hunters have been dominating the Crucible lately. Hopefully this insight is helpful to you.

Medallion Farming And Loot

Moving on to the main topic: Medallion Farming and rewards. Whether you aim to complete the Guardian Games pass or illuminate all eight braziers, it’s crucial to learn efficient methods to avoid spending excessive time farming in the Guardian Games.

We’re going to emphasize efficiency – after all, time is a valuable resource. To keep things interesting and avoid monotony, let’s explore ways to simplify these farming techniques as much as we can.

For the remainder of the weekend, how about dedicating an hour or two solely to farming activities? If you’re not set on engaging in PvP, I’d advise getting your hands on the Platinum Contender Cards named “Platinum Plunderer” and “Stand-Out Performance.

It turned out that cultivating these two Contender Cards significantly enhances my experience. To achieve “Stand-Out Performance,” you only have to successfully finish one Expert Rushdown or a Grandmaster Nightfall to advance the progress meter.

The ‘Platinum Plunderer’ card is simple to collect, simply by entering the Shuro Chi checkpoint or Grasp of Avarice dungeon and gathering Power Orbs.

Ensure you activate all orb-generating perks and armor enhancements, such as the elemental siphons. Pop in some tunes from a podcast or audiobook, then begin farming orbs. Keep doing this until you’re satisfied.

If you’re keen on finishing the Event Card or you’d like to accomplish the remaining two tasks, remember to pace yourself to avoid exhaustion.

In Zavala’s “Shoot to Score” mission, you need to attain a score of 350,000 or higher in order to be able to ignite all the torches located on the right side of the Tower.

Regardless of your performance, achieving this score could be possible by excelling significantly in a single intense combat phase (Expert Rushdown).

To earn points, you should participate in Supremacy contests within the Guardian Games edition, as described by Shaxx.

Naturally, winning matches earns you more points. Just play Crucible like you normally would.

The majority of these rewards can be obtained without actively playing the game, provided that you ensure your Guardian Games class item is equipped and visit the Tower regularly to replenish your Contender Cards after each completion.

Collecting a sufficient number of medallions in the podium will ultimately reward you with the Godly Array shader. This shader changes its color periodically, showcasing the hues of the three classes – red, blue, and yellow.

If you finish the “Drop-In” task prior to the conclusion of the ceremonies, you’ll additionally receive the Allstar Vector skimmer as a reward.

Regarding the weapons, there is a separate article that lists and compares the rankings of Guardian Games weapons along with those from Heresy Act 2, including their optimal builds or best rolls.
