Destiny 2 Guardian Games 2024: Schedule & Rewards

by | Mar 5, 2024

Destiny 2’s Guardian Games event is here, and it features a new Sparrow type, Destiny 2’s Skimmerimprovements to its core mechanics, and more. This guide will cover everything you need to know about Guardian Games, including its schedule, challenges, rewards, and more!

When is Guardian Games 2024: Schedule

Guardian Games 2024 starts today, March 5, 2024, and is available to all players for free. The event started alongside the final Riven Wish.

  • Guardian Games starts on Tuesday, March 5, at 9 AM PDT
  • Guardian Games ends on Tuesday, March 26, at 9 AM PDT

Guardian Games was first introduced in 2020 and occurs once a year.

What is Guardian Games

Guardian Games is a yearly event that is open to all players. It pits every class against each other, Titans, Hunters, and Warlocks, but only one class can emerge victorious. Featuring exclusive mechanics and game modes, Guardian Games is perhaps the biggest event in Destiny 2.

Guardian Games is a continuously evolving event. It first appeared in 2020 in a quite bare-bones state, but every year it receives major updates, improvements, and new game modes. This time around, Guardian Games will feature the following:

  • The Guardian Games Ops Playslit, featuring Strike Scoring and every available Strike
  • The Guardian Games Ops Competitive playlist, featuring a weekly strike that operates as a Nightfall
  • The Supremacy PvP game mode

These three exclusive Playlists offer matchmaking and the option to matchmake by class.

How to win the Guardian Games?

Guardian Games follows the same core mechanics as in previous years. Each Guardian must earn and deposit Medallions every day. The class with the most Medallions is crowned the winner of the day. The class with the most days won is crowned the event winner.

What I like about Guardian Games is that you don’t have to play its exclusive Playlist. Every activity in the game will reward Medallions:

  • Bronze and Silver Medallions drop from lower-tier activities: Gambit, Quickplay Crucible, the Vanguard playlists, and most Neptune activities and Defiant Battlegrounds.
  • Gold and Platinum Medallions drop from high-tier activities: Nightfalls, raids, dungeons, Competitive Crucible, Trials of Osiris, or Legend Defiant Battlegrounds.

Guardians can also purchase Contender and Platinum Cards that reward Gold and Platinum Medallions, respectively.

How to enter Guardian Games All-Stars 2024

To enter the Guardian Games event, you simply need to visit Eva Levante, the main host for the event, at the Tower. She will provide you with the “Best in Class” quest and your Guardian Games Class item, which will play a central role throughout the event. If you’re new, don’t worry, Guardian Games is a straightforward event, and Eva’s quest explains the different mechanics well.

The most sought-after Guardian Games rewards are most definitely the armor sets. We cover this year’s Guardian Games 2024 armor in detail here.

I've been covering gaming since 2012, and some of my work has been featured by large brands, including MSN.com, Forbes, Rock Paper Shotgun, and more. I've been obsessed with Destiny 2 (and now Diablo 4) for years now, and I hope to provide new and returning players with the guides and resources I wish I had when I first started.

    Can you clarify which is correct:

    – Guardian Games ends on the following Tuesday at 9 AM PDT

    Guardian Games is a three-week event. It will end on April 2024 and won’t return until 2025

      Thank you for the feedback. Guardian Games does last 3 weeks and not 1. That was an oversight on my end. Post corrected, thanks!
