One of Destiny 2's best annual events, Solstice, is back for another year and has brought with it plenty of new gear alongside a redesign that aims to be more rewarding. What makes Solstice even more special this year is that the unlocked armor pieces can be fine-tuned to offer higher stats in specific categories, plus a new Legendary-class Stasis hand cannon can be acquired. [Update: Solstice is back in Destiny 2 for 2023, so be sure to check out our breakdown of what it starts and what new changes have been made since last year.]
If this is your first time taking part in Solstice, or you've been absent for a while, we've put together a quick look at what you can expect from this year's event, which rewards are on offer, and how to get started.

Now Playing: Destiny 2: Season of the Haunted - Solstice Trailer
One of the other rewards that you'll unlock immediately is a cute summer hat shell for your ghost, to help cool the little fella down during a hot firefight. The new Solstice armor are available with both free and paid glows like in previous years. Similar to last year, fully upgrading a piece of armor with Kindling will cause it to glow.
Silver Leaves can be collected from in-game activities and transformed into Silver Ash through the Bonfire Bash event, which can then be used to reroll armor stats from the armor mod screen. Kindling is acquired by completing Solstice Event challenges and is used to upgrade your armor stat roll potential, with each piece of armor limited to three upgrades.
