    Destiny Welcome to your Guardian Games 2021!


    Welcome to your Guardian Games 2021!

    Posted: 20 Apr 2021 10:00 AM PDT

    Greetings Guardians!

    After the pretty one-sided "competition" last time, Bungie again called for a contest to prove, oncea year and for all, which class is the best. And to celebrate the fun, we decided it's only appropriate that you get to rep your favorite class here as well.


    Over on the sidebar, you will see a running tally of how many Guardians have chosen each class: mighty Titans, daring Hunters, and clever Warlocks.

    How does it work?

    The tally depends on a running count of how many people are sporting one of the three new fancy user flairs we have added into the system. Completely new, and (unlike this thread) not recycled from last year! Wear them with pride! You'll be showing them across the entire subreddit!

    The site works across all systems. Old reddit, new reddit, even on mobile! Nobody should be left out, but please wait about 5-10 minutes for the count to update. We can only keep track of +2 million users so quickly!

    Quick shout-out to /u/just_SiLeNtWaLkEr and /u/Glamdring804 for making the flair pictures, sidebar image & banner :)

    How can I cast my vote?

    Simply log on to https://destinyreddit.com/flair and choose your flair. The three flairs being tracked are named "Guardian Games Titan", "Guardian Games Hunter", and "Guardian Games Warlock". Select these for your username, add an optional text if you want to as well, then hit submit. It's that easy!

    If your flair is not showing up, make sure "Show my flair on this subreddit" is on (a bit more hidden on new reddit)!

    What will the winning side get?

    Every user who stands with the winning side will be awarded One Month of Reddit Gold!

    (Jk, probably just bragging rights)

    We will also update the flair images to represent the outcome!

    Can I keep this flair when the event is over?

    You certainly can! But to change your flair back, simply revisit the website and select from our hundreds of options. We update the list constantly with each new content drop! Pick your favorites!


    Standard Megathread Rules Apply

    This post will serve as the acting megathread for most casual conversation related to the Guardian Games, barring high quality submissions, breakdowns, and rewards. Other posts are subject to moderators discretion if they are high enough quality to remain. As with all competitions, please keep it civil!

    Please also keep in mind these Vital Informations from the Bungie.net Help Page:

    • Players must wear their Guardian Games class item in order to progress any Guardian Game bounties.
    • Previous Guardian Games class items (the Cunning Rivalry Cloak, Mighty Rivalry Mark, and Sage Rivalry Bond) will not generate Laurels or progress any Guardian Games bounties.
    • Eva's daily reward packages will only be available to players who participated in that day's competition by depositing at least one medal.
    • Daily reward packages do not stack. Eva holds at most one package for players at a time.
    • If the Medal Case is full, Medals earned through claiming Triumphs will be lost.
    • Laurels do not drop in Gambit or Crucible, and are instead rewarded directly to players.
    • Unrecovered laurels do not go to a player's Postmaster and must be picked up to count.

    Good luck Guardians, and may the best class win!

    (It's definitely Hunters)

    Heir Apparent catalyst is a monster in both PVP & PVE

    Posted: 20 Apr 2021 07:55 PM PDT

    Heir Apparent was already quite fun in PVP and now with the catalyst I think it's a very strong option for an exotic heavy.

    To recap, Heir's spun up overshield grants 80 HP, gives full headshot clamping while up (headshots deal body shot damage) and also has 45% damage reduction vs kinetic damage and 20% DR vs solar and void, but none against Arc. The catalyst adds 75% additional DR in PVP (numbers personally tested and also available in u/Pip1n's Destiny 2 Data Compendium spreadsheet). This means that even Arc damage needs a lot to punch through.

    Before the catalyst, one bodyshot from an Arc aggressive sniper rifle (Tatara Gaze, Arc Borealis) would instantly kill the Heir user factoring in the 120 hp shield explosion. After the catalyst, even 2 shots from those weapons will not kill the Heir user- the first does 40 damage and the second 47. 2 Adored bodyshots won't even break through the shield (33 + 33), although the third will kill you.

    Due to 75% DR vs Arc, Heir is also now not trivially counterable by using an Arc primary. Without the catalyst, 8 Riskrunner shots will kill an Heir Apparent user from full overshield in about half a second. With the catalyst, it takes 32 body shots (25 just to bust the shield) to kill, for a TTK of about 2 seconds- huge difference.

    Heir can now tank an Izanagi's Burden 4x Honed Edge bodyshot. It will deal 50 damage, doing over half the shield. 4x Honed Edge Headshots will sometimes kill- sometimes they just show 50 yellow damage but do not kill. Not sure what's up with that. It will tank 2 Golden Gun shots, dealing 47 and 51 damage- the third will kill. It will even tank an Attunement of Hunger Nova Bomb initial damage, although the user will instantly die to the first tick of the DoT afterwards.

    Additionally, the Heir DR stacks with Whisper of Chains DR. This reduces, for example, Izanagi's Burden 4x Honed Edge bodyshots to 37.5 (38 displayed) damage.

    All of the above means that an Heir Apparent catalyst user is now a walking fortress in PVP. But the same principle is extensible to PVE. In PVE the Heir Apparent overshield grants only 62% DR (number from u/Pip1n's Destiny 2 Data Compendium spreadsheet), but this stacks with chest resist mods such as Concussive Dampener, Void Resist, etc. Additionally, just like in PVP, it stacks with Whisper of Chains. Just as an example, this means that if your Heir Apparent shield is spun up, you are near a Stasis Crystal, and you are using Solar Resist and Melee Resist on your chest, you will have over 90% damage resistance to a Solar knockback attack ( .25 [Heir catalyst] * .8 [Heir Solar reduction] * .75 [Whisper of Chains] * .75 [Melee Resist] * .75 [Solar Resist] = .084375). This might genuinely open up a path to playing a "tank" sort of role in PVE. I haven't had a chance to test much but I was basically able to sit on top of the Nessus public event servitor and barely take damage from its melee, which usually rips through me quickly. When the shield breaks you get 100 ammo from reserves too, which is neat.

    TLDR: Don't just vault Heir again when you finish the catalyst! Try it out and enjoy huge damage reduction in PVP and PVE while the shield is up.

    Reminder: Upper tier gaming PC's have lost a TON of frames since Beyond Light. Can we get an update?

    Posted: 20 Apr 2021 06:23 AM PDT

    I've had a high tier computer and its been kind of frustrating. Can we get an update if this is currently being worked on and if there's a targeted fix date?

    EDIT: FWIW, my setup is an i7-9700k, 3090, with 32gb ram. I get drops down to 80 frames in certain parts. Pre beyond light, I never went below 100 with my 2080 Super. Both are at 1440p.

    EDIT 2: Wow, thanks for all the awards. I honestly just hope we will get something from a CM saying they are working on it or expect an update in season or two. I'd trade all the awards for that lol

    The Medal Case is NOT a quest!

    Posted: 20 Apr 2021 11:59 AM PDT

    I'm seeing a lot of confusion over this. The Medal Case is NOT a quest and you can NOT complete it. It is simply the item that holds any laurels and/or medals you collect. Think of it like the Cryptolith Lure or Hammer of Proving, they are items in your quest section. And yes, I'm aware it says Step 1 of 1, probably a mistake on Bungie's end.

    Oxygen SR3's unique perk, Meganeura, should have been what Ticuu's Divination's explosion is now

    Posted: 20 Apr 2021 07:41 AM PDT

    If the Meganeura perk had the size and power of Ticuu's explosion this weapon wouldn't have been an instant shard. I, for one, cannot stop using Ticuu's as it's so satisfying and useful. Would have loved to have a scout that felt the same way.

    titans have no body in 1st person when using the new cool armor

    Posted: 20 Apr 2021 10:20 AM PDT

    Bring back Perfect Paradox as an exotic weapon.

    Posted: 20 Apr 2021 09:19 AM PDT

    • Hammer Forged Rifling • Assault Mag • Trench Barrel • One Two Punch

    Intrinsic Trait: Push Through

    • Enemies who have taken damage from this weapon temporarily (2-3 seconds) take more damage from melee attacks. (Think oppressive darkness but only for punching)

    Catalyst: Here I Stand

    • Defeating an enemy while Push Through is active loads this weapon from reserves

    A legendary Titan deserves to have his iconic weapon to be preserved for eternity. We already lost the Perfect Paradox twice now. Plus I wanna punch stuff. We need a good kinetic special weapon for closer range in PVE. Also I want to punch stuff.

    Warlocks - trivialize laurel grind with Sunbracers

    Posted: 20 Apr 2021 11:05 AM PDT

    Sunbracers and top tree dawnblade is one of the most busted ability builds in the game. It's easy to proc, doesn't require any mods, and endlessly generates laurels.

    The combo is simple:

    • Kill a red bar at any range with your melee ability

    • Jump up and carpet bomb the room with bottomless solar grenades. Any in-air kill regens your melee ability by about 1/3.

    • Pick up your dozens of laurels and repeat with a fully-charged melee.

    Bonus SGA - when the Games are over, combining this with Sunshot and wrath/rage of the warmind is easily the strongest add clear build in the game. Just don't do that yet. As far as I can tell, warmind cells don't generate laurels.

    List of KNOWN ISSUES with Guardian Games

    Posted: 20 Apr 2021 08:01 AM PDT

    Good Afternoon Guardians,

    Welcome to the competitive Gauntlet that is, Guardian Games

    Posting this here as an all round heads up of issues to hopefully help direct Guardians so excited by representing their class and winning they get their progress slowed or find something not quite working as they expected

    If there's anymore missed or discovered, feel free to let me know and I can add it in


    Known Issues

    • Listed below are known issues that players should know when participating in Guardian Games. Several Quest items, such as the Medal Case and Contender Cards, will not be removed from player inventories after Guardian Games has ended. If the Medal Case is full, Medals earned through claiming Triumphs will be lost.

    • Class items acquired from Zavala are awarded at 1250 Power Level instead of at 1300 Power Level, which can be acquired from Eva.

    • Players will not be able to deposit Medals if they were acquired in the Tower after players have already deposited Medals of the same rarity. Players can return to Orbit and head back to the Tower to deposit those Medals.

    • The Laurel acquisition step of Heir Apparent Exotic Quest only counts laurels picked up off of the ground. This means those acquired from Gambit / PVP game completions will NOT count

    • Non-masterworked Guardian Games ghosts purchased from Eva display a 'Completed' objective.

    • Certain shaders may erroneously remove the glow from the Eververse Warlock Guardian Games Universal Ornament set

    These are currently known and exhaustive of any new issues that may crop up post GG event. All info found here - Please report new issues direct to Bungie at Bungie Help


    The Last Word

    Whether your objective is to crush all Hunters, slap all floof Wizards or confuse a square Titan, keep it clean out there!

    Happy Guardian Games, Guardians. May the best class win ;)

    The Presage mission is GREAT for collecting laurels

    Posted: 20 Apr 2021 03:10 PM PDT

    I just finished with a completion of the presage mission, and let me tell you, there is SO MANY LAURELS. I figured out that each major kill is worth 3 laurels, and there is a lot of majors. Almost every screeb is a major, as well as each of the chieftans. Honestly, you could probably just farm the trash compactor because of all the screeb spawns. I used bottom tree nightstalker, and with all the big groups of enemies that get cramped together in large groups, I generated hundreds of laurels in one to two runs. Anyways, just by running the presage mission a few times can give hundreds of laurels.
