Next week will see the return of Solstice, one of Destiny 2's big seasonal events in which players can come together to celebrate their achievements. An annual event that has been around since the early days of Destiny 2, Solstice takes place during summer and offers some of the best armor in the game, which you can tweak to create a desired roll. If you're looking to craft armor that lets you use your grenade ability more often or offers a higher chance of survivability, these are some of the best pieces of gear to focus on.

Solstice start date

Kicking off after the weekly reset on July 18, Solstice will once again take place in the European Aerial Zone and will see teams of Guardians face off against waves of enemies so that they can earn rewards, including new armor and the first Strand rocket launcher.

Solstice changes

Last year's Solstice was notable for how it streamlined the armor upgrading process and allowed Guardians to craft pieces of gear with customized stat rolls, like high resilience, intellect, or recovery.
