Destiny 2’s Guardian Games event is finally back with Season of the Wish and brings a selection of great weapons to choose from for guardians. The newest addition this year is the Hullabaloo Wave Frame Heavy grenade launcher. It’s only the second of its kind after Dimensional Hypotrochoid and sports quite an appealing perk pool with a lot of perks that lean into its Arc synergies.
How to get Hullabaloo in Destiny 2
As usual with the Guardian Games, you’ll earn most of your drops by completing Contender Cards for Eva Levante in the Tower. You’ll be able to choose from Gold, Platinum, and Diamond tiers of Cards with the higher tiers naturally translating to more and better loot. Diamond Cards in particular are limited to only 3 cards per week: one from end-game PVE and PVP each and one acquired from Twitch Drops by watching a Destiny 2 stream for two hours.
Alongside the Contender Cards, you’ll also receive rewards for participating in Guardian Games activities and completing their weekly accompanying quests. You’ll receive your first quest, Shoot to Score, from Zavala and it’ll require you to get medals and points in the Nightfall playlist. The second quest, Vying for Supremacy, on the other hand, requires playing in either the Crucible’s Supremacy playlist or the Gambit playlist tied to the event.
By getting high scores in the PVE (Nightfall) and PVP (Supremacy & Gambit) playlists, you’ll be able to unlock up to 4 tiers of weekly chests in the Tower for each of the quests. These chests will reward you with loot and materials as well as buffs to make achieving higher scores possible.
On top of all that, every few hours, one of the Guardian Games All-Stars playlists (remember, Nightfall, Supremacy, or Gambit) will be the Focus Activity which you’ll be able to see in your Director. Playing a Focus Activity unlocks up to three tiers of reward packages that go from bronze to silver to gold, with better prizes for each tier. There’s one more package, the Champions Package, that (as you can imagine) will go to the class that dominates the Focus Activity by earning the highest scores. The Champions Package will fill the Medallion Case, not including Diamond Medallions.
This way, you’ll be gaining medallions at an even faster rate compared to otherwise. More medallions naturally mean more loot and who doesn’t like more loot?
Hullabaloo PVE God Roll
Hullabaloo has a whole host of great choices for the PVE sandbox and I can’t wait to get my hands on many of them. Due to the nature of the weapon, it’s heavily add-clear focused and the perk pool also leans into that. I don’t think the chosen perks need much of an explanation but I do feel that the ones that weren’t chosen still deserve an explanation.
The first such perk is Envious Assassin. It’s been a staple perk but is more focused on DPS-oriented weapons that you can load up using your other weapons while clearing out adds. This naturally doesn’t mesh too well with it being on the add-clear weapon itself. Voltshot on the other hand wasn’t chosen simply because it only Jolts the first target the wave hits while also needing constant reloads — a hassle that just isn’t worth the trouble.

Hullabaloo PVP God Roll
While Wave-Frame GLs are unlikely to make much of a splash in the PVP sandbox, Hullabaloo is set up with the perfect roll in case they do so you might as well hunt one down before the event ends.
