The Solstice of Heroes is now live. These armors, Sparrows, emotes, ghost shells, and exotic ornaments can be claimed as event rewards during the summer festival in Destiny 2.
On the evening of July 31, 2018, the Solstice of Heroes began. With this seasonal summer festival, Destiny 2 wraps up its first year before the launch of the Forsaken expansion on September 4, kicking off the second year.
During the Solstice event, Guardians can celebrate their past achievements and accomplishments in Destiny 2. Players can advance their triumph moments and earn numerous new event rewards.
We have summarized the coolest reward highlights for you in an overview.
These rewards are available for the Solstice of Heroes – The Highlights
How can I get them? The event-specific rewards can be earned from the Solstice engrams of the Eververse. After a gift engram at the beginning of the event, you will receive a Solstice engram in addition to the regular Glimmer engram at each level-up of your Guardian.
Knock-Out List: There will be an active knockout system. This means: You will receive new items from the event engrams until you have collected all Solstice event items. Only then will there be duplicates.
All earnable: These event rewards can all be earned in-game. Although there is a large selection in the Eververse that includes a rotating assortment of these items, purchasing with Silver Dust is purely optional.
With enough playtime and with the help of the knockout system, you can access all event rewards without spending a single cent or any Silver Dust.
Exotic ornaments of the Solstice of Heroes
As part of the Solstice of Heroes, four new exotic ornaments can be earned – all for weapons:
