The Solstice event Destiny 2 is an annual celebration where Guardians commemorate their achievements and honor their resilience. Here’s a Solstice 2024 Guide.
When Does Solstice Start
The Solstice 2024 event in Destiny 2 started on August 6, 2024 during Echoes: Act 2. It typically runs for three weeks, celebrating the achievements of Guardians.
During Solstice, players venture to the European Aerial Zone to engage in combat with Cabal, Fallen, Taken, and Hive forces. The goal is to race around the map, take down enemies, and gather orbs dropped by Ignition Carrier mini-bosses to deposit into a bonfire. Stoking the bonfire allows for resources to be converted into better-rolled seasonal armor, making it an excellent time to acquire gear with desirable stats. While specific buffs haven’t been confirmed yet, last year introduced powerful abilities like Firebound and Flare.

How To Get Solstice Armor In Destiny 2 2024?
The Incandescent Armor Set is a key feature of the Destiny 2 Solstice of Heroes event. To acquire it, Guardians will first need to speak with Eva Levante in the Tower, who will provide all five pieces of basic armor. Afterward, they’ll need to finish the Celebrating Solstice quest, which takes roughly 25 minutes to complete and introduces the main features of Solstice.
Once you have the base armor, upgrading it is straightforward:
Collect Silver Leaves: These are obtained by defeating enemies in the European Aerial Zone during Solstice activities.
Convert Silver Leaves into Silver Ash: Head to the Bonfire Bash area and interact with the bonfire to convert your Silver Leaves into Silver Ash.
Acquire Kindling: You’ll find Kindling by defeating Ignition Carrier mini-bosses in the European Aerial Zone.
Insert Kindling and Silver Ash into Solstice armor : Use the bonfire to upgrade your Candescent Armor, enhancing both its power and appearance.
The Incandescent Armor Set offers a unique glow effect, making it stand out during your adventures.
During the Solstice 2024 event in Destiny 2, players can earn unique, limited-time armor sets for each class. Hunters, Titans, and Warlocks will all have their own armor sets to buy, with all three being available as rewards from the Eververse Store.
