Destiny 2’s Guardian Games event returns May 2

Warlocks, Titans, and Hunters once again prepare to see who can come out on top in this year’s Guardian Games. The annual event starts on May 2 and runs until May 23 which marks the end of the Season of Defiance. To see what’s new for this year, read on below:

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.

GUARDIAN GAMES CUP RETURNS

Guardian Games Cup debuted last year with selected teams from across the globe… And this year we’re inviting everyone to join. Players from around the world are encouraged to gather their fireteam to take part in this year’s Guardian Games Cup, where they can raise money for charity along the way.

This year, teams will compete in the Technical and Charitable categories. The Technical category tracks each officially registered team’s total number of medals dunked during Guardian Games. The Charitable category tracks the total amount raised through the team’s official Bungie Foundation sign-up page throughout the same period.

The top four teams in each category will be awarded with some sweet prizes, including:

–Top team in the Technical category: custom art of your fireteam by PherianArt

–Top team in the Charitable category: custom art of your fireteam by Gammatrap

–Top two teams in the Technical and Charitable categories: Guardian Games Pendant ($200 MSRP)

–Top three teams in the Technical and Charitable categories: Apricot Dawn emblem

–Top four teams in the Technical and Charitable categories: Bungie Store discount codes

There will also be an excellent donation reward for participants to enjoy:

— $25 and above – Quantum Relay emblem

We’re partnering with the Bungie Foundation to send the funds raised this year to both Direct Relief and the International Rescue Committee equally, to help us have a truly global impact.
