When does the Guardian Games 2025 start and end in Destiny 2?
The Guardian Games 2025 began on March 11, kicking off for everyone in the game at the start of the daily reset. This was partially delayed due to a handful of technical issues on Bungie’s side, causing the servers to experience several problems. No one could get on to play the game much into the early afternoon, but things appeared to clear up much better through the evening.
For those who want to compete in the Guardian Games for as long as they can to bring their class to the top, you have until early April before the games disappear. There are plenty of opportunities to earn many of the new and returning weapons available throughout the event, or you can work on unlocking some of the best armor pieces for the event.

How to earn medals for Guardian Games 2025 in Destiny 2
Your primary goal and main focus for the Guardian Games 2025 event is to earn medals for your Guardian Class. The medals you earn with your character do vary. If you’re playing on your Titan, you’ll earn medals for the Titan Class, and you can’t deposit those on your Hunter or Warlock. The same goes for the other two. The more you play of a particular class in Destiny 2, more medals you earn for that particular class, bringing them one step closer to victory, and claiming the Guardian Games statue. You can view the score for all teams at The Tower.
You can begin earning medals shortly after you speak with Eva and complete the Best in Class quest, which gives you your Medallion Case. This shows how many Medallions you’ve collected. There are five types: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond.
The more common medallions are your Bronze and Silvers. You can earn those by completing Rushdown or PvP matches while wearing your Guardian Games attire. The more difficult ones are Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. These are available by grabbing event cards from Eva, and you have a limited number of these you can complete.
