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.
