Players will have a chance to earn two special Guardian Games weapons during the event. The first one, Taraxippos, is the first Legendary Strand scout rifle in Destiny 2. The other one, Title, is a Void submachine gun with a special ability that lets it roll with the Repulsor Brace perk.
Finally, Bungie is giving away a ton of freebies during this year's Guardian Games, most of which are centered around their event cards. By completing the challenges on their cards, players can earn the likes of a new Exotic emote, a brand-new Champ title, and extra Triumphs. More rewards are available for players who unlock their event cards for 1,000 Silver.

Bungie indicated that crafted weapons could be leveled whenever players deposited medallions at the Tower. The studio later clarified that this is not the case. However, there will be a progression buff for weapon levels during the event. Ideally, players should equip their crafted weapons during the event to get the buffs.
The Guardian Games Cup will also be making a return this week. When the in-game event debuted last year, only selected teams were allowed to participate. This year, all Fireteams are invited to the event to raise money for charity.
Teams will be competing in the Technical and Charitable categories during the Guardian Games Cup. The Technical category tracks the officially registered number of medals earned by each team during the Guardian Games. The Charitable category tracks the total amount raised by teams via the official Bungie Foundation sign-up during the same period.
