Destiny 2 Vanguard Medals make their debut in Destiny 2 thanks to Guardian Games 2022. These Vanguard medals are very similar to the medals you get in Crucible and Gambit, and reward you with extra points for performing amazing feats with your weapons and abilities. However, these are only available in Guardian Games Strike playlists. If you want to get them all, there is a list of all Destiny 2 Vanguard Medals as well as how to get them.
List of Destiny 2 Vanguard Medals
Here are 47 of the Destiny 2 Vanguard Medals and how to get them. Currently, you can only get them from the Guardian Games: Recreational, Training, and Competitive playlists. They’re all worth points, so if you’re looking to maximize your Platinum score in the Competitive playlist, getting a variety of these medals will really help, especially for the Destiny 2 Score to Hit quest.

When participating in Guardian Games Strike playlists, be sure to complete Platinum and Contender Cards to receive medals for your Class. You’ll need Destiny 2 Laurels to purchase easily earnable cards in these playlists, but you can also check out the Destiny 2 Daily Focus for Guardian Games 2022.
