How to easily achieve high scores in Destiny 2 Guardian Games

Note that the methods below will work inside Competitive Playlist Nightfall Strikes. Players are recommended to enter each of these missions with a fireteam of three. Some of the tips that will earn you a high-scoring Destiny 2 Nightfall run include:

• Emote before finishing
• Kills inside Well of Radiance
• Trinity Ghoul's chaining kills

1) Emote before finish

One of the most efficient ways to gain a huge score is by emoting before performing a finisher on an enemy. Look for an in-game medal during your run called "Insult to Injury." Each medal will add to the existing score, anywhere between 4000 and 5000.

To get the medal, perform an emote in front of a low-health enemy just before you're about to finish it. However, ensure you have the emote text appear in the bottom-left corner of your screen, above the super bar. Note that if you have performed a finisher without the text appearing, the "Insult to Injury" medal won't be given to you.

2) Kills from inside the Well of Radiance

Any kill from inside a Well of Radiance counts as a Super kill, be it by the caster or other allies inside the Well. Doing this will grant you the "Let There Be Light" medal. To even speed up the process, the Warlock with the Well of Radiance can equip a Phoenix Protocol for maximum uptime.

You can also complete the activity with Gold-tier completion first to achieve the "Gold Contender's Boon" buff for increased ability regeneration. This way, your future runs are going to become a lot smoother.

3) Trinity Ghouls

Trinity Ghoul is one of the few weapons that can chain-kill a huge group of trash mobs simultaneously. While this can generate a lot of scores, the multi-kill can also generate orbs of light, which further adds more to the overall score.

Equip an Arc Siphon mod in your helmet to generate these orbs, and make full use of the Trinity Ghoul Exotic Bow and its Catalyst.
