All Destiny 2 Vanguard Medals in Guardian Games 2022
How to get every Destiny 2 Vanguard Strike medal
Destiny 2 Vanguard Medals have made their debut in Destiny 2 thanks to Guardian Games 2022. These Vanguard medals are a lot like the medals you get in Crucible and Gambit and reward you with extra points for performing incredible feats with your weapons and abilities. However, they’re only available in the Guardian Games Strike playlists. If you want to get them all, we’ve got a list of all the Destiny 2 Vanguard Medals as well as how to get them.
Destiny 2 Vanguard Medals list
Here are all 47 of the Destiny 2 Vanguard Medals and how to get them. Currently, you can only get them in the Guardian Games: Recreational, Training, and Competitive playlists. They’re all worth points, so if you want to maximize your Platinum score in the Competitive playlist, getting a variety of these medals will really help, especially for the Destiny 2 Shoot to Score quest.

Each of these Vanguard Medals has a Triumph tied to it that can found under the Guardian Games section of the Season of the Risen Triumphs menu. They don’t award any Triumph score, but we don’t know if and when Strike scoring will return, so you get them while you can!
While participating in the Guardian Games Strike playlists, make sure you complete Platinum and Contender Cards to get medals for your Class. You'll need Destiny 2 Laurels to buy those cards, which are easily earned in these playlists, but you could also check out the Destiny 2 Daily Focus for Guardian Games 2022.
