Destiny 2
Bunge
Nothing is sacred, not even the spirit of competition itself? No, no, no. That’s fate, if cheese existed, it would have been discovered, and even Guardian Games wasn’t immune.
The main attraction of this year’s Guardian Games is a strike playlist with medal scores and requires players to come up with strategies to get the most points. You only need 175,000 to earn Platinum rewards, but there are some fun rewards like a glow-up for the top scorer in the tower, and a special badge for all top 10% scorers at the end of the event.
Well, that’s thanks to a new strategy for scoring 500-600,000 points during strikes using the new medal system. This strategy came from, and who else, Cheese Forever, who posted a short video about the strategy. That’s it, so stupid. I like it.
So what does it matter? The main idea is that you are killing yourself and earning multiple resurrection medals with more points than killing enemies.
The key components here are:
- Rotate with your teammates, as resurrection medals have a short cooldown.
- Use a level 0 item to reduce your strength below 1350.
- Use the ricochet gun to shoot bullets from the wall and kill yourself instantly because your power is so low.
- Do a resurrection circle and you start accumulating points. Time it so that you end up with such a high score at the start, but finish the strike at about 24 minutes because you won’t get any more points after that.
Has this ruined the entire top 10% game? I mean, probably. Bungie can fix medals, so you can’t do that anymore, but I don’t know how they’ll get rid of the abusive glitch points. I mean, maybe they could see everyone’s individual medals and do that, but who knows.It does sound like, if you Do Care about that high score you might as well try this in case they don’t end up wiping the score. You can’t get a legit score that high, or without some other lesser-known cheese.
I don’t believe getting such a high score will get you an actual medal bonus, but that’s just for the competition itself. To run this strike normally in 10 to 15 minutes, you just have to… play as normal and kill everything, you’re almost certainly going to be 175K platinum in your reward this week, so if that’s your main goal, please Don’t stress out about crazy strategies.
I’ll post an update if this gets a hotfix or something.
