Bungie announces the Guardian Rank requirements in Destiny 2
According to Bungie, the Guardian Rank requirements for several high-level Strike activities in Destiny 2 have been updated. Players can demonstrate their knowledge of the game’s mechanics and content by achieving a higher Guardian Rank in Destiny 2 by completing these objectives. Players of Destiny 2 can advance from the entry-level New Light rank to the elite Paragon rank by completing a variety of objectives. In recent weeks, Bungie has already started to modify Guardian Rank objectives; the most recent modification concerns prerequisites for strike-based objectives.

Scoring Updates
Players must now obtain a score of 115,000 in a Legend Nightfall strike rather than 130,000 to complete the Legend Score Guardian Rank objective. The Vanquisher Guardian Rank’s Nightfall Score objective has also been updated, and now calls for a lower score of 180,000. A score of 210,000 rather than 230,000 should now be the goal for Destiny 2 players attempting to complete the Score Grandmaster objective for the Exemplar Guardian Rank. Bungie also revealed that the score multiplier for the Lake of Shadows Strike has been raised to 1.0x along with these changes to the Guardian Rank.
Players must still complete the other objectives according to the current requirements to advance to the next Guardian Rank because Bungie did not make any additional changes to the Guardian Rank objectives. For instance, to receive Platinum rewards from the Legend Nightfall strike in Destiny 2, all Champions must be eliminated. Fortunately, while attempting to complete a Legend Nightfall Strike, the new Legend Score objective is much simpler to complete.
Conclusion
The objectives for these high-level Strike activities should be easier for newer Destiny 2 players to complete thanks to these Guardian Rank changes. Some Destiny 2 players felt that the initial Nightfall score requirements were too high before these changes were made. Those who regularly complete high-level Nightfall Strikes but were unable to reach the necessary score were frustrated by these score requirements. As Destiny 2 players continue to provide feedback online, Bungie will probably make additional changes to the Guardian Rank objectives.
