In Destiny 2, the Weekly Reset is back today, July 31. The Solstice of Heroes is live. With the weekly reset, new activities such as the Nightfall strike or Flashpoint can now be tackled. The weekly Crucible playlist is also rotating again.
The new week brings the Solstice festival: After downloading and installing the recent Update 1.2.3.1 for Destiny 2, Guardians can finally enjoy the summer event “Solstice of Heroes”.
With this seasonal festival, Bungie marks the end of the first year of Destiny 2 before the Forsaken expansion ushers in the second year on September 4.
Until August 28, Guardians have time to celebrate their achievements and accomplishments in Destiny 2. They can earn numerous new rewards, such as Sparrows or event armor with a power level of 400.
