Guardian Games started this week in Destiny 2, shifting into an unfamiliar slot as the first seasonal event of the expansion thanks to the delayed release of The Witch Queen. The Olympic-themed Guardian Games have changed a lot this year, which should be immediately apparent as soon as you step into the Tower and see Eva’s fancy new decorations. While the flow of progression and the available activities have changed, the purpose of the Guardian Games remains the same: help your faction outperform the others and, in the process, earn tons of loot.
This year, the headliner of the event is The Title, a new void submachine gun that comes with some great rolls (Stats for All + One for All anyone?) and an Origin Perk called Classy Contender that generates class ability energy on final blows. Currently, there seems to be a bug preventing players from receiving multiple copies of The Title, which Bungie has acknowledged and is currently working on. Farming a quality version of The Title will be the main motivator for most people this year, but it isn’t the only reason to put a little time into Destiny 2 this month.
