Destiny 2's Guardian Games buff has no gameplay impact

Destiny 2's Guardian Games event started on March 4, 2025, featuring a cosmetic buff called Best in Tower. This buff highlights the Guardian with the highest score in each Tower instance, marked by a unique glow and blue light trail. Players can earn this buff by depositing high-grade Medals and completing event-specific quests. The Best in Tower buff serves as a bragging right, with no impact on gameplay. To maximize scores, players should focus on completing challenging Contender Cards, especially the weekly Diamond Card, which requires a full class Fireteam in a Raid. This approach also rewards players with new and updated weapons.
