Destiny 2 Guardian Games The Title Guide: How To Get The SMG Fast

gamespot.com:

The Guardian Games are back in Destiny 2, pitting players against one another in a friendly competition to see which of the three character classes will reign supreme. Whether the bragging rights interest you or not, you'll want to pick up the Guardian Games' new submachine gun, The Title. This slick little gun carries some of the best perks in the class, along with a new Origin Trait just for the Guardian Games called Classy Contender.

If you lean into the Guardian Games, you'll likely get multiple rolls of The Title, but your first chance at the gun will require you to finish the event's opening quest, «Best in Class.» It's not especially difficult, but it is something you'll want to knock out quickly in order to start messing around with your new gun and to fully open up your Guardian Games options. Here's how to knock out the quest quickly and claim The Title.

Your quest starts in the Tower with Eva Levante, the event vendor who shows up in the center of the Courtyard. To start, you'll want to claim your Guardian Games class item, which you get for free. After that, pick a «Contender Card» from Eva. You're going to need to complete a playlist activity like a Strike or Gambit match, so pick the card that lines up with whatever you want to do next--you should only need to complete one activity, so all options are equal.

When you get into your activity, you'll want to earn earn Laurels, one of the main currencies of the Guardian Games. Laurels drop while you're wearing your Guardian Games class item whenever you kill strong enemies--anything with an orange health bar or yellow health bar--or when you take out enemies with your abilities. You can earn Laurels anywhere, so long as you're wearing your Guardian Games class
