Destiny 2's Solstice Summer Event Getting Seals, Title, And New Rewards

Bungie is changing how its special seasonal events are presented and how rewards are given out with a new «Event Card» tracking system starting next season… It'll all start with a reworked Solstice event in the summer, which has been shortened from Solstice of Heroes, and similar changes should be rolling out to the rest of Destiny 2's seasonal events.

Bungie laid out the new details in its recent This Week at Bungie blog post. Beginning with the Solstice, Bungie will give Destiny 2 players a free Event Card that will allow them to track challenges. By completing these challenges, players will be able to earn rewards, namely the glowing armor that Guardians typically work towards during the Solstice event.

While everyone can still get multiple copies of an armor piece, upgrading the new Solstice armor will will allow players to reroll its stats to get exactly what they need, rather than having to grind for the right drop.

Additionally, the Solstice will be getting a new activity called Bonfire Bash,where teams will defend «paracausal bonfires» from incoming waves of foes from across the galaxy trying to «crash the party» and put out their fires. Changes are also being made to the European Aerial Zone (where Solstice activities take place) to make traversal easier, like adding more floating islands.

Throughout the Solstice, players will be knocking out event challenges on their new Event Cards, which will function and look very similar to how seasonal challenges already do in Destiny 2. You'll receive your card from Eva Levante and can be
