Destiny 2 – Solstice Information
Eva Levante is back in the tower beginning today for one of the Destiny 2 annual events, probably talking about Carlos and Maria still (get over it lady). In the solstice you head to the EAZ (European Aerial Zone) and fight waves of enemies to earn Silver Leaves. There are two new buffs this solstice –
- Firebound
- Only available in Bonfire Bash
- When close to a fireteam member, you gain increased Recovery and Super regeneration
- Only available in Bonfire Bash
- Flare
- Available in Bonfire Bash and Vanguard Ops Playlist
- Rapidly defeat combatants to unleash waves of paracausal fire around you, dealing damage to nearby combatants
- Available in Bonfire Bash and Vanguard Ops Playlist
Upgrading your Solstice armor requires finding and spending Silver Leaves, Silver Ash, and Kindling. Here’s how to get them:
Silver Leaves
- Earn Silver Leaves by completing activities throughout the game.
Silver Ash
- Transform Silver Leaves into Silver Ash by completing the Bonfire Bash activity.
- Spend Silver Ash to reroll armor stats from the armor mod screen.
Kindling
- Earn Kindling by completing Solstice Event Challenges
- Spend Kindling to upgrade your armor stat roll potential, each piece of armor can be upgraded three times (three tiers).
Remember you only need to do this once per armor slot. Every time you upgrade a piece of Solstice armor, it is permanent and shared across all Solstice pieces for that armor slot. So, if you upgrade a helmet all the way to tier-3, every Solstice helmet currently in your inventory and any future helmets you earn for that class can now access tier-3 stat rerolls.
The new Solstice armor sets feature both free and paid glows like previous years. And just like last year, fully upgrading a piece of armor with kindling will cause it to glow.
The solstice event runs from today for four weeks through August 15th and with it comes the new solstice Strand Rocket Launcher. The first ever Strand Rocket Launcher in game.
