In Destiny 2 today, on August 20th, is the Weekly Reset. There are new activities and challenges to tackle. Additionally, you should ensure that you complete your Solstice armor soon.
Here’s what you should do now in Destiny 2: While Bungie is currently focused on the gamescom 2019 discussing the future of Destiny 2, you only have one week left to upgrade your Solstice armor to legendary rank.
With today’s Weekly Reset, the last week of the Solstice of Heroes – the Summer Event 2019 – begins. Although you can still upgrade the armor to Masterwork afterward, the step from blue to legendary armor is only possible until August 27th. So hurry up.
What’s new in Destiny 2? So far, Bungie has surprisingly revealed a lot at gamescom. In addition to two new trailers, fresh Exotics and even a new endgame activity from Shadowkeep have been unveiled. You can find all the information collected on our Destiny 2 page.
Let’s now take a look together at what activities the new week brings.
