  • There is glowing armor as well as the exclusive line weapon “Cruising Dialogue”
  • The Solstice Event features 2 new buffs and difficulty changes
  • Guardians can boost their armor’s stats and make them glow for free

    Bungie is decorating the tower with colorful flowers and decorations, and summery items and weapons can be earned during the “Campfire Party”, as well as branches of silver.

    The Solstice also offers three special features related to armor and weapons.

  • For one thing, there’s glowing armor that’s popular with Guardians.
  • On the other hand, you can improve your legendary armor through the solstice event and thus focus on stat values ​​such as “resilience” or “recovery”.
  • And, of course, Solstice 2023 also comes with an exclusive weapon – the first-ever String Rocket Launcher.

    • So if you’re looking to fine-tune your build in Destiny 2, Solstice is the event for you. And it also makes you particularly chic.

    What’s new in the 2023 Solstice Event? Bungie announced last year that they simplified the armor upgrade process for all classes. Perfect stats with 100 Discipline for the best grenade builds or 100 Recovery to better survive the Crucible are easier and achievable for everyone thanks to the event.

    In 2023, changes have now been made to the difficulty level of the event. For example, Bungie has been working on both enemy density and the overall difficulty of the Bonfire Party activity.

    You will find that you have to put in a little more effort to light the fire. We’re also introducing two new buffs to add even more variety.

    Bungie writes about this in the TWiD blog (“This Week at Destiny blog)

    These buffs are only active during Solstice 2023:

  • The Firebound buff is only active in the Beacon Party and increases Recovery and Super Regen when you are near a fireteam member.
  • Only active in Bonfire Party and the Vanguard Ops playlist, the Flicker buff causes if you quickly defeat fighters, it will activate waves of paracausal fire around you, damaging nearby enemies.
    • Also in 2022 there was special armor that could shine

    These are rewards at Solstice 2023

    This is what the Crowning Dialogue String Missile Launcher can do: In appearance, the new Strang Rocket Launcher is reminiscent of the Gambit Bad Omen Rocket Launcher, though obviously with a precision frame.

    And that in particular might be disappointing for some players as these variants deal 20% less damage than Adaptive or Aggressive Frame Rocket Launchers.

    In addition, “Culturing Dialogue” will have the following perks:

  • First Column: Shot Swap, Pugilist, Demolisher, Prepared, Pulse Booster, Autoloader, and Ensemble
  • Second Column: Chain Reaction, Grunsome Assassin, One for All, Hatchling, Warhorse, Cluster Bomb, and Adrenaline Junkie

    • This is the weapon’s native attribute:

  • “Dream Job” – Each reload, assist, or finisher-blow assist refills the weapon once from reserves, potentially overflowing the magazine.

    • These are the new event armors: In addition to the special feature that every guardian can optimize the Solstice armor perfectly, one especially loves the fact that one can earn an armor glow.

    As in previous years, the new Solstice armor set comes with both free and paid glows. And just like last year, if you fully upgrade a piece of armor with fuel, it will glow.

    So you have the choice whether you prefer to grind the sets for free or buy them directly.

    Also this year, players will have another chance to earn the Solstice Seal and the Flame Keeper title by completing the event challenges.

    How do I make my armor glow for free? In order to make your armor glow and focus for free, you need to find and use silver sprigs, silver ash, and fuel.

  • Silver branches are earned by completing activities in Destiny 2.
  • You then have to “burn” your earned silver branches in the event activity by completing the “Beacon Party” activity in order to receive silver ashes. You can then use the Silver Ashes to respec armor values ​​on the Armor Mod screen.
  • Fuel is earned by completing Solstice event challenges. You can then spend it specifically to improve armor values. Each piece of armor can be upgraded three times.

    • Good to know: Each time you upgrade a piece of Solstice armor, it is permanent and applies to all Solstice pieces for that slot. And you can complete the level-up tasks even after the event ends.

  • So if you upgrade your helm to level 3, all Solstice helms that are in your inventory and any future helms you get for that class will have additional level 3 rolls.

    • What else is there to earn? Of course there will also be different cosmetics again. Including a small “bumper boat” that has a water effect. This mislead leaked via Twitter:

    Or you can pick up this “Lawnmower” Sparrow at the Solstice, which you can use to mow away that nasty green grass you’ve touched this Season 21. It is not yet known whether these two cosmetics are also available for the in-game currency Shiny Dust.

    When does the solstice occur? The event starts today on July 18, 2023 for the weekly reset at 7:00 p.m. As always, it will be active for 3 weeks, so you have until August 8th, 2023 to max out your armor and earn the Strand Rocket Launcher Godroll.

    Who can attend this event? The event is free, so any interested player can take part – regardless of additional content. New players just need to complete Eva’s introductory quest.

    Is the Solstice event an option for you that you use to tweak your armor or make your Warden shine? Or do you already have the perfect triple 100 build that you’re not bothering with anymore?
