Titans, Warlocks, and Hunters can rejoice, for the Guardian Games 2025 has arrived! As Guardians of all classes race to come out on top and earn exceptional loot from this year's games, it’s best to understand how to easily earn Medallions in Destiny 2, and what activities in the Guardian Games grant the best rewards.
Destiny 2: Best Titan Exotics for Episode Heresy
Destiny 2: Episode Heresy holds incredible potential for Titans, and here are some of the best Exotic Armors that they can wear to maximize their fun.
To easily earn Medallions in Destiny 2’s Guardian Games, players are going to want to look below to the most accessible content that will help players get Gold Medallions and Platinum Medallions fast so that they can become the top player of the Tower and help their class rise to the top.
Guardian Games will be available until April 1, 2025.
6 Expert Rushdown for Speedy Fights and Medallions
A Boss Rush Mode That Contains 5 Rapid Fights
Rushdown is a new mode for Guardian Games in which 3 Guardians must battle some iconic bosses, one after the other. This activity is a lot of fun, and it’s not even difficult to do, even with Expert difficulty. Mediocre builds or better and players are going to have a great time ahead of them, and one that they can complete pretty easily.
With Expert Rushdown, players can earn Medallions from the activity completion, and with the Stand-Out Performance Platinum Card from Eva, players can earn Platinum Medallions very easily just by defeating combatants, of which there are plenty.
5 Nightfalls and their Platinum Cards
Grand Loot in a Challenging Time
Nightfalls are always a good time, for each week players can jump into a specific Strike within the confines of new difficulty scaling. Nightfalls can grant Medallions, and while a good run of a Nightfall, including Grandmaster Nightfalls, can take around 15 to 20 minutes, the rewards are well worth it, especially in Week 1 of Guardian Games.
Destiny 2: Best Exotic Weapons for Episode Heresy
Players will want to look at these Exotic weapons in Destiny 2 so that they can conquer the entirety of Episode Heresy and control the meta.
Double rewards in the Nightfalls are amazing this time around since the Lotus Eater is one of the best Rocket Sidearms of recent memory. However, even outside of Week 1, Nightfalls are always worth completing for their unique loot and a chance at an Adept weapon, and a simple Nightfall Platinum Card means players can finish an encounter with Silver, Gold, and Platinum Medallions.
4 Vanguard Strikes are Fast to Complete
A Breeze to Get Through for Medallions
Just like Nightfalls, players can get unique rewards from Vanguard Strikes. It’s a decent enough time, that’s fairly quick to complete, and also pairs well with Pathfinder objectives for Pinnacle rewards. Not only should Vanguard Strikes be completed for XP and Engrams from Zavala, or Pathfinder objectives, but because the Silver and Gold Medallions earned are more than enough bounty to claim.
Vanguard Strikes are extremely easy – both in terms of speedy completions and the lack of consequences for getting killed. Vanguard Strikes are rapid activities worth completing for the Medallions they obtain, even if it’s not a Platinum one.
3 Finish Legend Lost Sectors with Eva's Card
Decent Loot Farming Paired with Easy Medallions
Every day, there’s a new Legend Lost Sector that players can find across the Sol System, and completing them on the highest difficulty and defeating the Champions involved, grants a unique chance for Exotic Armor that players have yet to earn, or types of armor that they want to farm up for better armor mods.
Decent Exotic Armor and other material rewards are great, but Eva provides a Lost Sector-related bounty, the Strategic Spelunking Platinum Card. With this card, players just need to push through these difficult Los Sectors for Platinum Medallions.
2 Complete Episode Heresy Activities
Farm Episodic Weapons While Getting Medallions
Episode: Heresy has two activities from Act Two – Court of Blades and The Nether. Both of these activities can be challenging, but they are fun and relatively simple to progress in. Players are going to want to complete these activities for Gold Medallions with the Decisive Contender card from Eva’s Episodic Medallion Card.
Destiny 2: Best Artifact Perks in Episode Heresy
Destiny 2: Episode Heresy includes some truly game-changing Artifact Perks that players are going to want to maximize the power of their meta builds.
The Gold Medallions pair nicely with the rewards from the activity themselves, where players can get Episodic Weapons that are truly great for this season with the right Artifact Perks. Whether it’s the exclusive Sidearm, Glaive, Machine Gun, or more, each of them is worth farming while getting Medallions.
1 Use Shuro Chi for the Raid Platinum Card
Complete Catalysts and Platinum Medallions at Once
If players venture to the Dreaming City and begin The Last Wish Raid, they can enter into the Wish Wall the Shuro Chi puzzle so that they can immediately skip forward to this boss, and enjoy the benefits of this checkpoint each week. While players aren’t going to be able to solo Shuro Chi, they only want to use her for the ad-dense activity where they can kill plenty of Taken enemies for the Platinum Plunderer Card.
The Platinum Plunderer Card from Eva means that while players are farming Catalysts from Shuro Chi’s ads, they can also complete this Platinum Medallion granting card by defeating combatants and generating Orbs of Power.
