Destiny 2 Update: Solstice of Heroes Armour, Start date, Redux missions and MORE
Destiny 2's next event is called Solstice of Heroes – and it's due to begin on July 31.
Like many of Destiny's other timed events, this will be largely held in the Tower, and whilst active Guardians will be decked out in broken ceremonial armour that was collected when the Last City was overtaken by the Red Legion (doesn't that feel like a lifetime ago?)
Bungie will give players the opportunity to take this ceremonial armour and reforge it into new items – apparently looking back on your journey with through the Red War in the process.
Ikora Rey will be the defacto vendor for the event, and she'll make you interact with a newly constructed edifice – the Statue of Heroes – in order to view your Moments of Triumph and start upgrading your ceremonial armour.
There seems to be quite a lot to the event – which is nice – and you can see more information about the timed treat in the Bungie write-up below.
Destiny 2: Solstice of Heroes redux missions, armour, engrams, rewards and more
BUNGIE's newest update to Destiny 2 will bring even more content to players – here's an overview. 
Destiny 2 – Solstice of Heroes event
New Armor to Upgrade
After you visit the Statue of Heroes, you will receive an uncommon “Scorched” armor set at Power 240. On each armor piece is a series of objectives that you will need to complete to upgrade the armor. Once you have completed the objectives, return to the Statue of Heroes to upgrade to the next set.
After you upgrade your Shattered set, youll receive the “Rekindled” set at Power 340 — with a new list of objectives. Once you complete those objectives, your reward is the “Resplendent” Armor Set at Power 400. One final group of objectives to complete, and youll unlock the Masterwork version of the armor set.
Each Resplendent Armor Set offers the previous versions as ornaments, so you can pick and choose how each piece looks.
Redux Missions
One of the ways youll upgrade your armor during the event is through Redux Missions. Five story missions have been selected and given slight alterations. Each mission can be accessed in the Tower by finding its statue. Here are the five missions for the event:
- I – Homecoming
- II – Spark
- III – Payback
- IV – 1AU
- V – Chosen
Moments of Triumph
Many have already begun completing Moments of Triumph, currently being tracked on Bungie.net. The final five Triumphs will become available at the beginning of the Solstice Heroes event, and can be tracked in-game. Triumphs will be tracked by in-game bounties that are obtained at the Statue of Heroes. As you complete and turn in those Bounties, youll unlock rewards that can be redeemed at the Statue.
Extras
Theres also the Solstice Engram available from Tess Everis. You can earn three per account by completing the event Milestone on each of your characters. No matter what activity you play in Destiny 2 during Solstice of Heroes, youll receive one Solstice Engram in addition to the Bright Engram you earn for leveling up.
Armor Glows also come from the Solstice Engram. These can be applied to any version of the Solstice of Heroes armor sets, to provide Guardians with an enhanced look. Armor Glows are unlocked permanently, like ornaments, and they shine brightest when your subclass element aligns with the element of the Glow.
