Destiny 2 Solstice of Heroes is about to begin on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
The brand new Destiny 2 event has a 6pm start time in the UK, where it will be accompanied by a big update.
The event will only be available for a limited time, running from July 31 until August 28.
Solstice of Heroes is available to all Destiny 2 players at no extra cost.
Bungie explains more: “This event is held in the Tower, and allows the inhabitants of the City to celebrate and thank Guardians for bravely defending them.
“During this time of celebration, Guardians will once again don the now-broken ceremonial armour from the day the City was lost to the Red Legion.
“They do this for many reasons: to remind themselves of what it’s like to not be invincible; to challenge themselves and thus inspire the City even more; and to eventually reforge that broken gear into something stronger… just as humanity has been broken and reforged over and over again for hundreds of years.”

As with all Destiny events, Solstice of Heroes gives fans the chance to unlock new gear by performing certain challenges and missions.
“One of the ways you’ll upgrade your armour during the event is through Redux Missions,” Bungie explains.
“We have hand selected 5 story missions and given them some slight alterations. Each mission can be accessed in the Tower by finding its statue.”
After visiting the Statue of Heroes, players will receive the Scorched armour set, which is set at Power 240.
Interestingly, each piece of armour comes with its own set of objectives.
Completing these objectives lets you upgrade the armour after revisiting the Statue of Heroes.
“After you upgrade your Shattered set, you’ll receive the ‘Rekindled’ set at Power 340 – with a new list of objectives,” Bungie continues.
“Once you complete those objectives, your reward is the ‘Resplendent’ Armour Set at Power 400. One final group of objectives to complete, and you’ll unlock the Masterwork version of the armour set.
“If you love the way the Shattered or Rekindled sets look, and would rather show those off, we’ve got you covered. Each Resplendent Armour Set offers the previous versions as ornaments, so you can pick and choose how each piece looks.”
Players can also unlock the new Solstice Engram, complete new Moments of Triumph and more.
