Destiny 2 Adding a Hoverboard and More for Guardian Games 2024

Bungie reveals new details for Destiny 2's returning Guardian Games event, including all the new gear to be earned, medals to acquire, and a brand-new vehicle type called the skimmer board. Guardian Games in Destiny 2 is an Olympic-inspired event created to foster competition between the three classes: Warlocks, Hunters, and Titans.

This free Guardian Games skimmer is called the Allstar Vector, and it will allow players to perform tricks, grind rails, as well as hoverboard around the game world. However, players will need to complete the Drop In quest before the limited time event concludes in order to keep it permanently.

As Bungie previously hinted at in its 2024 Roadmap Update, Guardian Games 2024 has a few new wrinkles to freshen up the event. Known as Guardian Games All-Stars, the basics of the event remain the same by equipping a class item, completing contender challenge cards, and
