Destiny 2's annual in-game event called Guardian Games returns on May 2

Bungie today announced the return of the free in-game event called Guardian Games. The event starts on 2 May and lasts until the end of Season of Defiant on 23 May. The Guardian Games Cup also returns, a competition where players have the chance to win fantastic prizes and raise money for charity.

Guardian Games 2023
The Guardian Games is a friendly competition in which players compete for their favorite class (Hunter, Warlock and Titan). During the Guardian Games, players earn medallions for various activities in the game, including a class-based version of popular PvP mode Supremacy. During the in-game event, players can earn two weapons from the Guardian Games:

• Taraxippos - The first Legendary Strand Scout Rifle in the game.
• The Title - The Void Submachine Gun makes its comeback with updates, including the fan-favorite perk: Repulsor Brace.

There is also a free Guardian Games Event Card available for players. By completing challenges on this card, players can earn cosmetic rewards. Think of a new Exotic emote, the brand new Champâ€TM title and extra Triumphs. The Event Card can be upgraded for 1000 Silver to release additional rewards.
