What does Best in Tower mean in Destiny 2? Best In Tower buff explained

Destiny 2’s Guardian Games 2024 is bringing another edition of the class-vs-class competition, giving Titans, Warlocks, and Hunters some rewards for participating in the festivities, including the Best in Tower buff.

If you’ve loaded into Destiny 2‘s main hub, you may have noticed your character sometimes has a new glow on them. This glow is a staple of Guardian Games and comes with the Best in Tower buff.

If you’re wondering why you’re suddenly glowing and what you’ve done to deserve such a majestic fate, it has to do with your participation in the Guardian Games. Here’s everything you need to know about the Best in Tower buff in Destiny 2.

Best in Tower Buff in Destiny 2’s Guardian Games 2024, explained

The Best in Tower buff means you have the highest Guardian Games score of anyone in your Tower. This effect has traditionally been connected to your Guardian Games: Competitive Nightfall playlist score. But it’s unclear if Supremacy and class-vs-class Gambit impact it (it’s unlikely).

To keep track of your standings, you can head into the Quests tab in your Director and look for the two Guardian Games-related quests: Shoot to Score (related to the Guardian Games: Competitive Nightfall playlist) and Vying for Supremacy, which teaches you the ropes of the Supremacy limited-time PvP playlist.

The quests give you an idea of how well you’re faring against the rest of the community, and they display the highest score you got this week. You can also try to improve your score by jumping into the Guardian Games: Competitive Nightfall playlist again, so keep your eyes peeled on the quests to know if you need another run.

Don’t forget to light up the Torches around the Tower to get some rewards, including a Strand Taraxippos scout rifle and a new Hullabaloo heavy grenade launcher.

The score for the Best In Tower buff resets every week, based on last year’s Guardian Games, so enjoy your supremacy while it lasts—and hope no one with a higher score than you loads into that instance of the Tower since that will take away your shiny new fit.
