Solstice Alloys 

Solstice Alloys are gained by completing activities. Once players collect enough Solstice Alloys, they will be able to unlock a piece of Solstice armor.

Once an armor piece is acquired, players can continue to complete activities to unlock each armor piece's armor glow.

The Portal 

The Portal's Ops activities, such as Fireteam Ops, can include Solstice-specific modifiers to defeats combatants with Solar energy. Solar flares, explosions, ignitions, and healing are just a few modifiers that rotate throughout Solstice.

Solstice Scorched

You can imagine what weapon is the main character here: the Scorch Cannon. Both teams will be able to use them in various Crucible game modes, so revel in the chaos and don’t forget you can charge the Cannon after shooting it for some extra area damage.

EAZ

The European Aerial Zone, or EAZ for short, is a three-player matchmade arena that tasks players with navigating a floating island off of the European Dead Zone to defeat bosses and stoke the central bonfire during the Bonfire Bash activity. The higher the bonfire grows, the more loot players will earn.


Event Home

The Event Home is available for free to all players and can be accessed by interacting with Eva Levante in the Tower or via The Portal during the event. Rewards will be only accessible during the event.
