Destiny 2 is getting a bit of a change as the 2022 Solstice event kicks off in the space shooter this week. Put your feet up, bring your friends and have some fun with this year’s festivities.
This is happening this week: True space granny Eva Levante will be paying a visit to Destiny 2 and hitting the dance floor with you as the 2022 Solstice Event begins. As always, you’ll have a chance to win shiny new armor and unlock more cosmetic items with the newly introduced Event Pass.
However, if this week’s event doesn’t appeal to you, then you can make an impression on Zavala, who is giving away bonus Vanguard Rank Points in the Dawn. With this you could push your ranks again on the way to the last triumphs.
Then, when Lord Saladin leaves the Tower tonight, PvP players will find distraction from the heavily team-based Rift Iron Banner mode in the Cauldron and Zone Control. The choice is yours. And at the end of the week, the Osiris PvP trials will start again.
The most important information about activities from 19.07. until 26.07.
