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 Hullabaloo, a new Grenade Launcher unique to the Games at the end.
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.
How the Focus Activity works in Destiny 2
There is a third option for earning medals. This year the Guardian Games as a rotating Focus Activity. Every few hours one activity will be the Focus, and choosing that activity from one of the Guardian Games playlists will pledge whichever class you used to the cause. Any points you earn from completing that activity will add to your team's total. Whichever subclass has the most points at the end (two or three hours, depending on if it is a weekday or weekend), will be the winner.
Anyone who pledged to the winning team will get a Champions Package, which contains a large haul of medallions.
How to complete the Shoot to Score and Vying for Supremacy Quests in Destiny 2
There are two special quest lines available during the Guardian Games; one is focused on Guardian Games themed Vanguard activities, the other on Supremacy matches.

Keep in mind that both are time-gated, once you achieve a platinum score for the week you will need to wait for the next reset to advance.
