During Episode: Echoes, Destiny 2 will be hosting its yearly celebration of all things heroic with the Solstice of Heroes. But when does the Solstice event start in Destiny 2?
What Is the Start Date of Solstice 2024 in Destiny 2?
Each summer Destiny 2 hosts a Solstice event, but Bungie has yet to confirm an exact date it will begin. But it feels likely that we’ll get three to four weeks of story content, and then the following week, the Solstice will start. That would put a potential start date around the end of July to the first week of August.
What Is the Solstice Event in Destiny 2?
During the Solstice, players run missions in an area called the European Aerial Zone, or EAZ, if this event is anything like last years. It’s basically a wave-based mode where you need to go around killing enemies, stoking a massive bonfire, and then killing a boss creature that will spawn in. Doing so will award you Silver Leaves as long as you are wearing the event armor. You can get better armor stats, improve the look of the armor, and generally get yourself a pretty solid suit of gear by the end of the event. The event armor doesn’t look like much to start with, but as you level it up, it will get nicer and nicer.
All this assumes that Bungie doesn’t do anything to change the event this year. They do have a habit of working on small changes to the way events work from time to time, but I am not expecting much, if anything, to change about this year’s event.
There will also be some new weapons to grab, including some new rolls for as yet unrevealed weapons. Though, it’s unlikely they’ll compare to Perfect Paradox. Finally, there are usually all manner of things to grab in the Eververse shop for those willing to spend some cash. Until Solstice starts in Destiny 2, though, it’s a great time to farm out those Code Mutations.
Destiny 2 is available to play now.
