Bungie explains extra: “This year, we’re delivering new additions to the event and bringing back some classics, including the Supremacy PvP mode first introduced in 2016. Go collect those crests, Guardians!

“This yr’s Guardian Games will function the brand new class-based matchmaking system, the place full groups of a single class kind face off.”

In order to win the Guardian Games, you’ll need to deposit Medallions in your podium. The class that deposits the most Medallions will be crowned winner for the day, followed by the week, and then the event.

Players can earn low-tier Medallions during Gambit and Quickplay Crucible matches, as well as anything from the Vanguard playlists, most Neptune activities and Defiant Battlegrounds. 

If you want Gold and Platinum Medallions, you’ll need to play Nightfalls, raids, dungeons, Competitive Crucible, Trials of Osiris, or Legend Defiant Battlegrounds.

Contender Cards also award Gold Medallions. Bungie explains more: “You can solely carry two Contender Cards at a time: one for strikes and Gambit and one other one targeted on the Crucible.

“Platinum Cards award Platinum Medallions, and those cost 1500 Glimmer each. Just like Contender Cards, you can carry two of these at a time: one for strikes and Gambit and one for Crucible.”

As a part of the Guardian Games, Bungie can even convey again the Title Void SMG, full with new perks.

Meanwhile, the brand new featured Guardian Games weapon is the Taraxippos, which is described as the primary Legendary Strand Scout Rifle. 

Finally, the Guardian Games Cup is again and open to all gamers.

“Register your team and compete to dunk the most Medallions, raise money for some great causes, and win truly special rewards,” Bungie explains.

“Prizes for the top teams across two categories include custom team artwork, Guardian Games pendants, the Apricot Dawn emblem, and more. Visit the Guardian Games Cup page for more information on how to get started.”
