Destiny 2 Solstice 2024 Guide | Rewards | Tactics | Dates
Published on: 24 July, 2024 |
Oh, god, please no! Another mode in Destiny 2. Every year, we’re overviewing the Solstice, and every year, it comes to us with something new and awesome. So it’s time to recreate the Destiny 2 Solstice guide for 2024. You may ask, what’s with the weird introduction? Just a silly way to diversify all the guides that start with “The Destiny 2 Solstice 2024 guide. The Solstice is…” and all the others.
So, this time I’ll separate the guide into two big parts. In the first part, I’ll, as many times before, tell you:
- What the Solstice is.
- When it comes for Guardians.
- How to earn Silver Ash. And all those pretty things for Guardians who are new to the D2 Solstice event.
Then… I’ll show you all those:
- New Solstice armor sets.
- New ways to earn Silver Ash.
- Descriptions of all the new activities.
- Hints, tricks, and community advice.
And of course, I will not tell you about the Event Card in the Solstice, because even if you launched Destiny 2: The Final Shape before, you’ve already learned all about this new Event Card! So… let the Solstice begin!
