Destiny 2 Updates Guardian Games Scoring to Ignore 'Cheese'

Running from May 3 through May 24, Bungie is hosting the limited-time Guardian Games event in Destiny 2. In the Guardian Games, Destiny 2 players are put into competition against opponents of different in-game classes. Not only does the class that wins get a statue in the tower, but individuals can earn exclusive rewards including an emblem just for the top 10% of players.

In a recently published message from the BungieHelp customer service account on Twitter, Bungie confirmed that the 10% par used for the emblem reward will ignore high scores achieved through cheesing team member revives. That should mean the legitimate top 10% of players for the Guardian Games will earn the emblem as intended.

The bad news is that Bungie also appears to be saying that those cheesing the Guardian Games with revives won't actively be punished.

That means that both the top 10% of players who are earning their score legitimately and those cheesing the Guardian Games will be able to win the award.

What Bungie isn't acknowledging is that the problem with the Guardian Games is two-fold. It isn't just that the scores have been skewed by those cheesing the game mode. It's also that playing with teams that are cheesing the
