Why is it hard to obtain the Champion Memento in D2?

The Guardian Games Memento has a chance to appear among rewards, so it might take a while before you finally have one. As mentioned above, it is related to farming high-level medallions. You can earn them by completing the most challenging cards during the event. The cards may involve engaging in Trials of Osiris, beating a raid with additional requirements, completing Grandmaster Nightfall strikes, and other skill-demanding activities. Some players may experience difficulties obtaining the mementos due to the following issues:

• Challenging activities. Platinum or Diamond cards have tasks that require delving into dungeons and raids, which are end-game activities that require a well-coordinated team. So, it will take extra time to gather a group capable of completing the mission;
• Lack of free time. Destiny 2 allows you to engage in dozens of activities, including story missions, PvP, and high-level strikes, so sometimes, you simply don’t have enough time for raw farming of Mementos;
• Limited-time items. Champion memento is an exclusive reward earned during the Guardian Games. Usually, it’s out for 3 weeks, so once it’s gone, you have to wait. However, there might be additional events with an opportunity to purchase the memento.
