Guardian Games introduced another competitive element for hardcore players: a unique emblem awarded to the top 10% of participants in the event's scoring activity. This emblem is not something you earn by random drop or completing a checklist – it's purely performance-based. You must place within the top 10% of the Guardian Games Competitive playlist scores for a given week​ to get it. In practice, your high score in the Competitive Nightfall must be higher than what 90% of the player base manages. If you achieve that, the emblem becomes available, usually claimable at the end of the event. After the event, Destiny 2 would distribute the emblem through Eva Levante or via Site Rewards. This meant players had to be patient – you perform during the event, and the reward comes later to validate your accomplishment.

What does it take to be in the top 10%? It changes based on the activity and how other players perform. A Nightfall scoring context usually requires an exceptionally high score, often nearing the maximum possible for that strike. Guardians found that to be safe, they needed to get scores in the hundreds of thousands. For instance, community members suggested aiming for around 250,000 to 300,000 points in the Competitive Nightfall to secure the top 10%​. The threshold is determined after aggregating everyone's scores. Devs even had to address exploits: early on, clever players found ways to inflate scores (like endlessly reviving each other for points). Bungie adjusted the calculation to ignore those cheese methods so that "inflated scores won't unfairly skew the '10%' threshold"​. Essentially, they set a reasonable cap such that if someone cheated to get 1,000,000 points, it wouldn't raise the bar for honest players. With those fixes, hitting the top 10% is challenging but fair – it boils down to killing almost everything in the strike, doing it fast, and perhaps farming a bit where possible.

Earning this emblem is a point of pride. During the event, after a Competitive playlist weekend, some Guardians will have a special glow or title in the Tower that indicates they likely reached a top score. The emblem itself often has a name and design celebrating excellence. For example, one year, it was called "Best of the Best", literally signifying you were among the best performers of Guardian Games​. Equipping it in future seasons instantly marks you as someone who can pull off high-tier feats.

From a gameplay standpoint, achieving a top 10% score often requires specific tactics: running the Nightfall on a high difficulty for a higher score multiplier, extending the run to farm points but finishing before the point decay gets severe, and coordinating Fireteam roles. Typically, teams would aim to kill every single enemy (since each contributes to the score), chain supers and abilities to get multi-kill medals, and complete the Nightfall relatively quickly (the score starts decaying after a time threshold, usually 15 or 20 minutes). Also, there are bonus score multipliers for things like no deaths, so flawless runs help. In Guardian Games, getting lots of Vanguard medals (like "Strike Spree" or "Fireteam Medic") also boosts the score. It's an efficiency challenge as much as a survival one.

A boosting service's role here is to guarantee these conditions are met. Many players might be competent in regular content but not have the time or team to execute a near-perfect Nightfall run. Boosters specialize in that kind of optimized play. It's worth noting that the emblem reward is one-time. Once the event ends, you cannot earn that emblem if you didn't make the top 10%. That exclusivity is why many consider it worth getting help – missing it means it's gone forever (or at least until possibly another year's event with a new emblem).

Finally, how do you get the emblem once you qualify? Dev's usual procedure is to flip a switch after the event, making the emblem claimable. In 2022, players had to visit Eva Levante after Guardian Games ended to pick it up (Eva would have a prompt if you were eligible). In some cases, it might also appear in the Rewards section of their website for you to claim.

So you won't see the emblem immediately after your Nightfall run, you typically wait until the weekly reset or event ends when Devs have determined the winners.

In summary, the Guardian Games 10% emblem represents the pinnacle of achievement in the event's PvE competition. It's one item that shows true mastery (or at least the assistance of true masters!). Using a boost ensures you don't fall short of that threshold. You'll end the event with all your torches lit, medallions deposited, and an exclusive emblem in your collections – the ultimate prize for an event champion.
