The goal of the event is to use the Solstice Forge to create a full set of armor, and then to make it glow. 

In lieu of a Bonfire Bash activity this year, we are adding a plethora of modifiers to Portal activities. These modifiers are inspired by Solar energy, very fitting for the Solstice theming.

Here are some of the highlights:

• Hot Potato
  • Carriable Solar Flares occasionally drop from defeated combatants. Passing it between players increases the amount of damage it will do.
• Fired Up
  • Dealing damage and final blows from Solar sources raises a heat meter Once full, your weapons will cause Solar explosions.
• Class Healing
  • Heal yourself when using your class ability.
• Igniter
  • Precision hits against scorched combatants cause ignitions.

These modifiers will rotate each day on Portal matchmaking activities but can be selected anytime with custom difficulty selection, with one exception: Hot Potato will stay on, each day, for Portal matchmaking activities.

Another addition coming with this Solstice is the new Solstice Scorched Crucible Playlist. Both teams will be able to use Scorch Cannons in Clash, Control, and Rift game modes, so revel in the chaos and don’t forget you can charge the Cannon after shooting it for some extra area damage.

As you play during the two weeks of Solstice, you’ll earn some free rewards in its dedicated event home, from a unique emblem to a Ghost shell to some Holofoil weapons. So, don’t forget completing your daily and weekly challenges so you can progress the event rank track to earn all of them.

This version of the event home has a new and improved Reward Shop where you will be able to purchase weapons directly, up to a Tier 4, depending on your Guardian Rank, as well as up to Tier 4 weapon and armor engrams. There will also be Glimmer stacks and Enhancement Cores if you need them.

• Starting with Solstice 2022, players can now complete a Solstice Seal, “Flamekeeper.“
• To complete this seal, you’ll need to complete all event challenges offered in the Solstice Reward Track via the Portal.
• A gilding option is available by completing the four additional challenges available in the Seal screen. Keep in mind though that these challenges are quite the grind!
