Destiny 2 Guardian Games 2023 walkthrough

How to get started in the Guardian Games with the Best in Class Quest

Generally, any special event in Destiny 2 begins with a visit to Eva Levante in the Tower, and the Guardian Games are no exception. She will be in the middle of the main courtyard area, near the large carpeted stairs.

Once you speak to Eva, she will offer you the Best in Class quest. The steps for this quest are:

• Use the Glimmer that Eva gave you to pick up a card.
• Earn Medallions by completing activities with your class item equipped! Complete a Supremacy match or a Guardian Games playlist activity to earn your first Medallion!
• Speak with Eva Levante in the Tower Courtyard.
• Deposit your Medallion at the Guardian Games podium in the Tower Courtyard.
• Claim your first Event Challenge, which can be accessed in your Quest tab.
• Speak with Zavala in the Tower Courtyard.
• Speak with Shaxx in the Tower.
• Return to Eva in the Tower.

This quest line serves as the basic tutorial to the Guardian Games, and awards Taraxippos, a scout rifle unique to the Games at the end.

The Season of the Deep is here alongside the Into the Depths quest. You can know go fishing too! Don't forget to keep an eye on the Lost Sector and King's Fall challenge rotation schedule!

How to earn and deposit medals in the Guardian Games in Destiny 2

There are two primary methods for earning Medallions. First, you can complete activities while wearing a Guardian Games class item. Eva Levante offers a special Guardian Games themed version of the Hunter cloak, Warlock bond, and Titan Mark. Completing activities while wearing one of these medals.

The second option is to purchase and complete Contender and Platinum cards from Eva Levante. These function like bounties, offering random objectives from specific activity types. Completing the objective and cashing in the card will award either a Gold (for Contender Cards) or Platinum (for Platinum Cards) medallion.
