GUARDIAN GAMES 2023

- 2 − Earn medallions by completing various activities and Contender Cards. Submit medallions at the Tower Podium in the Tower.

Found on any Guardian Games Event weapon found during or after Season 16.
Heir Apparent Quest & Catalyst
- This year, Eva Levante offers newcomers and players who missed out last year a quest to earn the Heir Apparent Exotic Machine Gun while participating in Guardian Games!
- To obtain the quest, begin this year’s Introductory Quest for Guardian Games!
Wrathed In Laurels Exotic Quest:
- Step 1: Earn 50 Laurels. The Strike Playlist works great!
- Step 2: Defeat 100 Combatants with a Machine Gun in the Daily Focus Playlist!
- You can check the Director to see what the Daily Focus is.
Once you have the Heir Apparent Exotic Machine Gun, you have the chance to obtain a Catalyst Quest. To increase your chance at obtaining the quest, deposit as many Gold or Platinum medals as you can. Fellow Guardians have noted that the drop rate for the quest has been pretty generous so far! Once you have the quest, there are 3 objectives to complete.
Competitive Catalyst Exotic Quest:
- Step 1: Earn 50 points by obtaining medals. Higher tier medals are worth more points.
- Step 2: Complete 3 Contender Cards of your choice.
- Step 3: Collect 90 Competitive Spirit by defeating combatants with Machine Guns in the Daily Focus Playlist.
- All strike playlists are compatible with this quest step.
When you have obtained the catalyst for Heir Apparent, you must then defeat 700 enemies with the Heir Apparent to complete the catalyst (Strikes or Altar of Sorrow work great). Heir Apparent will become Masterworked (gains a kill tracker and generates orbs on multi-kills) and increases the durability of the Arc Shield. In addition, when the shield is broken by a combatant, some of the magazine is partially reloaded.
Guardian Games: Event Card & Event Challenges
- Similar to Seasonal Challenges, Event Challenges will be available during the Guardian Games 2023 event that all players can work toward and complete to earn new loot including gear, shaders, emblems and unique event items.
- Access this Event card by visiting Eva Levante in the Tower Courtyard or via the Quests tab!
- In addition to the event challenges, players can earn a new seal by completing their event card and contribute progress to a new Multi-event Seal. Players can also gild their seal!
- Players have until the end of the event to complete all Event Challenges
Upgraded Event Card Rewards
- Although Eververse is typically the primary source of cosmetic loot, Guardian Games 2023 will have a curated selection of cosmetic rewards available through the Event Card itself!
- These rewards will only be available through the Event Card during their initial release but may be featured in the Eververse Store in the future.
- Acquiring these extra cosmetic items will require players to purchase the upgraded Event Card, which costs 1000 Silver.
- Purchasing the upgraded event card immediately grants players an Exotic Reward Bundle!
- The Upgraded Event Card contains rewards equivalent to around 3000 Silver, though this may vary somewhat depending on future Event Cards
Unsure if you want to purchase the Upgraded Event Card? You can wait to purchase it later in the event to see how many Event Tickets you’ve accumulated!
