The Guardian Games 2023 are currently taking place in Destiny 2. One of the biggest rewards available there is Platinum Medals. But how can you farm these quickly? MeinMMO has gathered the best tips and tricks for you in this article.
What are the Guardian Games 2023 about? The Guardian Games 2023 in Destiny 2 are an annual and free tradition for all players, where the classes of Guardians are challenged to shine in various disciplines.
In addition to recognition by the community and the envy of the losing classes, Guardians also have other rewards waiting. These include Silver, Gold, and Platinum Medals, as well as various weapons, including the new Strand Scout Rifle “Taraxippos”.
However, to quickly obtain the most coveted loot of the Guardian Games, the Platinum Medals, we have compiled some practical tips and tricks for you to effectively farm them.
How to quickly get Platinum Medals in 2023
To achieve Platinum Medals in Destiny 2, you should focus on the challenges that bring you closer to this quickly. Primarily, the Guardian Games activity of a “competitive” Nightfall strike is worth playing. But the method should also work well in other activities.
Specifically, an artifact mod and the way Bungie has designed its medal scoring for 2023 will help you.
Use your power weapon as a precise primary weapon
In Season 20 of Destiny 2, Void weapons simplify a lot since Void kills count more. By paying attention to this, you can earn the coveted Platinum Medal in a strike run already.
- Equip a Void machine gun, such as “Aftermath Escapade” or “Corrective Measure”.
Through Void multi-kills and any precision hits with the machine gun, you’ll continuously shoot towards the Platinum limit.
Be sure to primarily use the machine gun against enemies with a red health bar. Not for bosses or champions and only sometimes for powerful enemies, as you need ammo.
Use one of the strongest artifact mods in Season 20
To ensure ammunition supply for the machine gun, use an artifact mod from Season 20 called “Brick from the Beyond”. It regularly drops new ammo for your Void machine gun.
- Defeating a powerful fighter with a Void weapon grants a chance to generate Heavy ammo for you and your teammates.
Stay in the fleeting current
The artifact mod “Fleeting Current” is a must for your Platinum endeavor. Fleeting projectiles deal more damage. If you then also have a machine gun that has the “Dragonfly” perk, you can trigger one elemental damage explosion after another.
- Picking up a Power Sphere grants your Void weapons fleeting projectiles.
- Thanks to “Dragonfly” on your weapon, precision kills create an elemental damage explosion.
Farm more Platinum Cards on Neomuna
In the Legendary Campaign of Lightfall on Neomuna, you can also excellently draw Platinum Medals.
- To do this, get the “Platinum Cards – Neptune” from Eva and then start the Legendary Lightfall campaign mission “Death-Defying”. You can find this in the top left corner of the Neomuna map.
Now play this mission until you reach a glass door that you need to shoot. Behind it, you can directly place a banner and then start this mission section.
- The room is full of Vex, so you can take down plenty of enemies and feed your Eva loot run for the platinum card. However, leave the Wyverns in the room with a yellow health bar alive, otherwise, you will trigger the next section.
- Once all enemies are eliminated, you can die, vary your loadout based on what your card requires for more progress, and start again at the checkpoint.
This way, you can also use other activities, such as the first encounter in the dungeon “Sog der Habsucht” or the encounter in the raid “Last Wish” with Shuro Chi.
Easy trick for the strike “Hypernet Current”: Here’s one more tip, as some guardians apparently still don’t know the most practical trick in the strike “Hypernet Current”.
At least not many used it so far when searching for players in the activity during the Guardian Games 2023. However, a small action makes the Sparrow route much more relaxing for all players.
- When you’re in the room before the section with the Sparrows, make sure to pick up one of the skulls dropped by the Minotaurs.
- They deal huge damage to enemies. You can also aim them at one of the portals before the Sparrow section.
Shooting down just one portal ensures that all possessed portals on the route are immediately closed and you take less damage on your ride. By the way, it also works in the “Top Dog” difficulty level.
The Guardian Games 2023 in Destiny 2 may not be everyone’s cup of tea. But they are still a great way to earn rewards that can then be profitably dismantled. Like all free events in Destiny 2.
