• Solstice is launching with the Event Card to organize objectives and help guide players on what they can do during the event
• The Event Card is available for free for all players.
• View your Event Card by:
  • • Interacting with Eva Levante in the Tower.
    • Or via the Quests tab (right next to Seasonal Challenges).
• The Event Card consists of Event Challenges, Event Seals and titles, and Upgraded Event Card Rewards.
  • • Note the free events you know and love will remain the same, and some of the free rewards are now claimed via the Event Card (upgrade not required). 
• Completing Event Challenges earns players event-related rewards and Event Tickets.
• Players can upgrade their Event Card for 1000 Silver to unlock:
  • • An instant claimable reward bundle.
    • The ability to spend Event Tickets for more rewards.
• Not sure you’ll earn enough Event Tickets? No problem—Tickets are earned even if you haven’t upgraded your card, and the Event Card can be upgraded any time while the event is active.
  • • Note Event Tickets must be spent before Solstice ends on August 9!
• Upgraded Event Card rewards will be exclusively obtained through their event in the year they launch but could be added to the Eververse store in the future.

Here is a quick look at a few rewards that are instantly unlocked from the Upgraded Event Card.

• Complete Event Challenges to earn Kindling.
• Use Kindling to permanently upgrade your Solstice armor stat roll potential.
• Complete a wide variety of activities throughout the game to earn Silver Leaves.
• Complete the Solstice Activity, Bonfire Bash, to transform Silver Leaves into Silver Ash.
• Use Silver Ash to reroll armor stats from the armor mod screen.
• Keep earning and spending Silver Ash to reroll armor to get the stats you want.
• Once you’ve fully rerolled stats on a piece of armor, pick up a new piece for the same slot to start rerolling stats again.

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.

Destiny 2 Solstice Leaks

It looks as though Solstice 2022 will also introduce an event-exclusive Hand Cannon for players to work towards too. As you can imagine there are also some new eververse items on the way, including new ghost shells, ships, and sparrows.

Some of these new items have already been leaked thanks to two community members and community sites like light.gg. You can take a look at some of the new items just below:

Bonfire Bash Mode Explained

Bungie announced a new mode coming to the game with the release of the Destiny 2 Solstice event in 2022.

It’s called ‘Bonfire Bash’, and will take place in the European Aerial Zone. Details as still a little thin on the ground, but in a previous TWAB the devs did tell fans:

“Another new feature coming to Solstice is an activity in the European Aerial Zone called Bonfire Bash, where Guardians will be building and stoking what can only be described as “paracausal bonfires” while the enemies of summer fun (including the Taken, Cabal, Hive, and Fallen) will be attempting to crash the party and extinguish the fires. In your mission to guard the flames from wave after wave of incoming enemies, we’ve made it easier to transverse the EAZ, adding floating islands and removing building-barriers for maximum maneuverability.”

So it could be that this is a sort of horde mode with increasingly difficult waves? No doubt we’ll get more details on how this new mode will work in the weeks to come.

How long is the Solstice event in Destiny 2?

The Solstice of Heroes event in Destiny 2 will typically last for four weeks and come to a conclusion on a Tuesday following the Destiny 2 Weekly Reset.
