| Posted: 06 Aug 2020 11:23 AM PDT Source: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/49425 This week at Bungie, we're getting ready for Solstice of Heroes. Once again, it's time for the annual tradition of honoring Guardians and your great accomplishments. Our free summer event, Solstice of Heroes, starts next week on August 11.
The European Aerial Zone is back and full of Hive, Cabal, and Fallen enemies for you to dispatch. Defeat as many of the bosses as you can in a fireteam of three and then hunt for chests that are hidden away around the floating island. The more bosses you take down, the more rewards you will earn. ArmorThis year, we have a new approach to Solstice of Heroes armor that we think is going to give you far more flexibility on how you show off your Solstice-ness. Similar to previous years, you will start with a Rare set and upgrade it into a Majestic Legendary set. Once you have all of your Legendary gear, you can start a final set of objectives to upgrade it to a Magnificent set. Here is a look at the objectives required:
Completing these objectives will unlock a white glow on your armor. You need to upgrade your armor to Majestic during Solstice of Heroes but can continue to complete these objectives after the event ends. You can continue to earn more randomly rolled pieces for your Magnificent set in the EAZ.
Earning the Majestic Legendary set will unlock the option to purchase a Universal Ornament set from Eververse for either Silver or Bright Dust. This ornament will change its glow to match your Elemental subclass color. Unlike last year, you won't need to purchase individual color glows. Each class set will be able to display three different elemental glows that will match whatever subclass you have equipped at the time.
Since the Elemental glow sets are Universal Ornaments, you will be able to apply them to any armor 2.0 pieces instead of only being able to apply them to your Solstice armor like before. As a bonus, all of the Elemental Universal Ornaments will also support a fourth glow for players who equip the Stasis subclass when Beyond Light releases this fall.
One of our goals with the Solstice of Heroes armor was to improve the experience of earning over previous years. There won't be any major armor updates, so once you earn your Majestic set it will be relevant up until next year's event. The Elemental glows being made into Universal Ornaments will ensure you can use them on any of your high stat armor going forward. Glows can't be toggled on and off for Universal Ornaments. That is why this year's glows are always on, as they are built into their Universal Ornaments. The white glow on the Legendary Magnificent set are also always on once you complete the challenge for the corresponding piece. Both the white glows and the elemental glows will increase their intensity depending on how much super energy you have at the time. EververseThe Eververse store will also have some shiny new things available. Every new Solstice of Heroes item will be available for both Silver and Bright Dust at some time during the event with the exception of the "Iron Severance" Finisher. Here is a quick look at some of the wares. For more info on the event, check out our Solstice of Heroes page. Enjoy the celebration! Lo-fi BeatsThe Bungie Music team just released a remix lo-fi Destiny 2 track perfect for unwinding after an adrenaline pumping Crucible match or stressful Flawless dungeon finish.

| EAZ Chest Route. Study up before reset. Posted: 06 Aug 2020 12:50 PM PDT It's summer solstice time again and Bungie has announced that they are bringing back the EAZ. For new players this is a cool little gamemode where you go around killing as many small bosses as you can, followed by one large boss at the end. There are strike modifiers and EAZ specific modifiers that will help you along the way. The more small bosses you kill the more chest that spawned. This is not certain yet be I assume the chest will probably spawn in the same places as last year. I created a route that I used last year to help get as many chest as possible for the solo and chest locations so teams can figure out their own routes. Here is a detailed route that I took to at least see all the chest. Please note that there are chest that are not directly in the route but drawn to the side. You can see every chest spawn from the route though and if you take the route I do, you can get to the chest that aren't part of the route easier. https://imgur.com/gallery/PucmzIM Here is a detailed version of the map without a route, that gives further insight to the locations (if they are ground level, indoors, or on the rooftops.) https://imgur.com/gallery/ZLs2Ci2 Here is also a link to my original post going into more detail and different strategies used to get all the chest https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/co8csm/all_21_chest_route_eaz/ Make sure to study up before EAZ is released. If the chest spawns change I will make a brand new map and route but some of the strats will still apply regardless of location. I also do not care for getting creddit for making these. Spread them around as much as you can, the way I see it the more its spread around without having to credit me, the easier my job is in the EAZ when playing solo. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2020 04:57 AM PDT Using my incredible pvp skills (and Mountaintop) I dropped a 15 bomb (world record?) in Iron Banner. After the game some loser had the Ghaul to message me and say "You wouldn't be shit without that Mountaintop dude." So I messaged back "I know that dude, why do you think I'm using it" [link] [comments] |
| Seriously Bungie, enough with the bloody Liner Fusion Rifle bounties! Posted: 06 Aug 2020 10:40 AM PDT It cant be just me that is has been getting a LFR bounty every day for the last week, right? They are a terrible weapon, with no ammo capcity. It just makes a bounty a pain to complete. [link] [comments] |
| Gunsmith is selling Protective Light today, get it if you don’t have it. Posted: 06 Aug 2020 10:07 AM PDT Costs 2 void energy and -10 strength; When your shields break it consumes all stacks of light and gives a significant buff in damage resistance. The more stacks it consumes, the longer the buff lasts. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 06 Aug 2020 12:18 PM PDT Hollowed lair is already the worst strike in the game because the boss fight doesnt make bounty nor quest progress [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2020 12:01 PM PDT You can earn 3600 Brightdust each week if you do all weeklies on each character. You have 5 weeks from now to do this, 5x 3600 is 18000. Assuming each set costs 6000 Brightdust like it was in Festival of the Lost that's just about enough to buy each ornament set for each Class. So if you want to buy em with Brightdust better start grinding now, and if you want anything else for Brightdust you better get out your wallet. [link] [comments] |
| If Shaders have 5 Colors, why doesn't the game show us these 5 colors? Posted: 06 Aug 2020 04:08 AM PDT See Title, not much more to say, make Engram-Shaped Shader-Previews with 5 Colors plz ty [link] [comments] |
| In response to the post asking for a sparrow with a side-car I humbly request a bus-sized sparrow Posted: 06 Aug 2020 09:18 AM PDT Make a sherpa title and have that be the pinnacle reward for it. Haul around your raid team in this stylish new bus! [link] [comments] |
| Why don’t we have emote where we interact with our ghost? Posted: 06 Aug 2020 10:21 AM PDT Seems kinda strange, and ghosts are always loaded so I'm surprised bungie hasn't done it before. [link] [comments] |
| Efficient Quest Step Stacking for New Event Armor Posted: 06 Aug 2020 12:58 PM PDT Apparently posts getting auto deleted by mods for putting "Solstice" in there... so here goes Based on the leaks for the requirement to get from the blue to Majestic set (first legendary rank) in order to get the ornaments, each class has something similar to needing:
The above is from titan requirements, but all of these will be the same for Warlock or Hunter with the requirements mixed and matched on a different slot but as a complete set each class needs the same. Don't try to just do one at a time going some place to farm a race, then go farm orbs etc. Fastest way to stack these would be:
With even bad RNG you should have completed the race kills, super kills and all orb collections in the processes above. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2020 03:08 PM PDT Warning: This post contains datamined information regarding the last seasonal exotic's lore tab, and the lore entry we will get from Eris next week To make it short, one of the messages Eris will get (next week) from the Pyramid is the word "Camouflage". Then "We are hidden closer then you know."
She seems to know the answer/who it is referring to but isn't 100% sure, which is why she doesn't want to say anything. That is the only secret she could be holding on to, because everyone (or at the very least Asher, her assistant, us and the Vanguard) knows what she's doing, so it's not a secret. We only have two Vanguard members, and one of them has been in the spotlight quite a bit as of late, Zavala. Before I get to the Travelers Chosen lore excerpt I wanted to point something out. When you get Ruinous Effigy, the little interaction where Zavala transmats in and talks to Eris, he is acting different. He seems pretty damn open to learning more about the Pyramid and directly interacting with them. Getting reports from both Eris and The Drifter. While I know he loves intel (as any leader would) the way he is going about things seems like there has been a change of heart... Speaking of change of heart (the bit all of you have read by now)
This has been discussed a lot ever since the datamine let us read the entry. At face value you can take it as Zavala is not only losing hope in the success of the war against the pyramids, but also in the Traveler. I don't think the fact it is from the Ahamkaras perspective is that big of a point, but then again this is an avenue to take advantage of his vulnerability. But let's say, being a Guardian, he could feel the Ahamkara "reaching out" to him. He doesn't resist it. This has been happening for a while now, we got this back during Curse of Osiris:
He is still dealing with the fact so many people died under the direct gaze of the Traveler, and that it stayed quiet. We don't even know if it breaking free of Ghaul's cage was a genuine reaction, it has been argued that it was an instinctual response, but I don't know enough to really add anything to it. The point is Zavala has been building ill-will towards the Traveler for a while now.
He has iterated this time and time again, his job is to defend the Last City, Humanity, not the Traveler. In the face of an unbeatable foe, would he choose to swap sides if it mean't he could save his people? He would, without a doubt. But there is more to this.
You then have Zavala finding and reading the Speaker's hidden confessions where he admits the Traveler is basically false hope, and that given the chance it will leave us like it left the Fallen.
Speaker is dead so this happened well after the Red War. Why is that important? Well, the Speaker openly admits that the Traveler is...well a lie.
Zavala has basically every reason to absolutely have zero faith in the Traveler. He has his own experiences, and the confessions of the Speaker that he hid from everyone. He's stuck between a rock and a hard place. He has a "God" that does nothing and sits by while everything gets worse and people are dying, and you have the "enemy" literally on our doorstep with no conceivable way of fighting it. He is looking for a side to pick, and the only side offering any bit of salvation is, ironically, the Pyramids. It's a judgement call, and with his faith in the traveler becoming less of a factor, he is going to jump to any opportunity to save humanity. Even if it ends up being a lie. He's desperate, he's rotting from the inside, he is driven mad with anxiety, and held down by regret. He wants to redeem himself, and that strong desire could lead to his downfall. He feels he has to do it all on his own, because it is his duty. Nothing good has come to Humanity since the Traveler showed up (Golden Age was brief and led to basically extinction), maybe it is time for him to seek an alternative. Note: There is also a lore piece that doesn't mention him by name that is essentially what he is saying to the traveler while the Ahamkara skull is stalking him in the Traveler's Chosen text. Also can't find it. Note: While Eris is also hiding (I guess?) the fact that the collapse has already started, it's implied that she is keeping the mole (or who she thinks it is) a secret from everyone.

| Posted: 06 Aug 2020 10:16 PM PDT Thumbnail has something totaly innocent on it like a rabbit or something. Title is something like "MoRe Lo fI SoNgS (NoT ClicKbaIt oR ViRaL ChAnT) (GoNe WrOnG) Description is "This is not a trap. All rights held by Savathun I MEAN BUNGIE!". Then at the bottom of the description is "You clicked this despite all the clear warnings it was a trap. Just like I knew you would. You really are the gift that keeps on giving." Video plays.... well, you know. [link] [comments] |
| Solstice 2020 website with more info. Posted: 06 Aug 2020 09:13 AM PDT https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Seasons/Events/SolsticeOfHeroes
Normal solstice armor will have glows and EV sets will be ornaments that change glow colour depending on subclass. Only one ornament set per class. Update: Solstice armor will glow white and you need to have unlocked the legendary version to buy the EV ornaments. Update2: more details to be given about solstice in today's TWAB. https://twitter.com/tomfromtheweb/status/1291411114257866752?s=20 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2020 10:09 AM PDT Change your name to "Me" and then you don't have to worry about people not knowing who you are when yelling into the mic "pass me the ball" or "Enemy spawning near me". [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2020 06:44 AM PDT I've made 2 new characters this week cuz I just simply wanted a fresh start and so I could have a Warlock and Hunter (I previously only ever had one class at a time so I could focus on that one and get that light level up but recently decided to have all 3). Completing the New Light stuff ass it tries to explain to me stuff I already know and make me do stuff I've done 2 other times before is just rather tedious and annoying. I mean sure I could just ignore them but then my quests page gets stupdily clustered. If removing them for people who've done he quests already isn't an option at least let us abandon/skip them.

| How do you PVP boys get anything? Posted: 06 Aug 2020 07:41 AM PDT I play D2 a fair amount and I'm usually in either raids or gambit. However when I do dip my head into crucible, I'm dumbfounded on how shit the loot is. I can get on massive win streaks, competitive, causal, etc and most of the stuff is shite. Not to mention it feels like the exotic drop rate is -5%. I get ten gambit wins and I get decent gear, some legendary shards, and maybe an exotic. Feels like I can win like 50 crucible matches before I get a legendary that doesn't get dismantled immediately. How do you crucible boys actually get anything? Do you do other activities for loot? Or just grind it out? [link] [comments] |
| A few QOL improvements a few players with 3500 + hours each suggested. List below. Posted: 06 Aug 2020 01:37 PM PDT
I've been trying to do the Truth quest on my 2 alts because I can't delete them, and 2ndly, every time I load into the Warden strike, it's been active and I spawn in half way through and that makes it impossible to activate all ascendant platforms at the end forcing me to do it again and again. u/ruskiTony added
Please add any useful QoL suggestions and ill add them to the list. Cheers. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2020 11:39 AM PDT Elemental Empowerment being ridiculous in Destiny 2: 2019
Ramdom Solstice tips from last yearPrismatic Taken drops an Empowerment Buff in EAZ. Empowerment Re-buffs super return on exotics.
If that makes no sense, every EAZ run last year a random Prismatic Taken group would spawn about halfway through the run. Killing the Taken would make it drop an orb that would buff you, and instantly give you a full active stack of empowerment (30s on double super duration + extra damage). The spawns last year (that I can remember) were on top of the parking garage and in the merchant district (on the roofs) Additionally, elemental empowerment would get rid of the hard cap for super return. Last year Shards of Galanor was capped at about 60% super return, but with solar empowerment active, getting the 3s of super return from Shards of Galanor actually gave you back full super. With this year's change to Orpheus Rigs being capped at a max 50% super return, it would make sense void empowerment + top tree tether + orpheus rigs could again give full super energy Major Spec Mod adds +8% damage to EAZ Minibosses Major Spec, and not Boss Spec, affected the EAZ minibosses last year Chests having fixed spawns When you killed an EAZ miniboss last year, it added one additional chest that could be found. Gladd posted a video last year showing all 21 chest locations Stupid Cat statue might actually do something this year https://www.reddit.com/r/raidsecrets/comments/cmyrz8/guys_calm_down_about_the_cat_statue_in_the_eaz/ [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2020 11:35 AM PDT For real Bungie. Getting spawn camped 8 times in a row not being able to leave this spawn room (lockers) at Flagpoint A is bullshit. In Iron Banner it is even worse. My team got steamrolled 6 times by the enemies with the Hunt active. We all legit only spawned in this very room. No escape. Free kills for the enemies. Fix this goddamn. Iron Banner is like always an annoying and sometimes even sh*t experience because of the maps, but this goes beyond everything a normal player is capable of enduring. Destiny is not Call of Duty, where this is part of the design philosohpy. You are Bungine, damn it. Not Activision. [link] [comments] |
| Please increase the amount of ascendant shards and enhancement prisms we can carry Posted: 05 Aug 2020 11:34 PM PDT Or let us vault our enhancement prisms and ascendant shards, that would be nice also. Instead of having us depend on our postmaster for extra space. [link] [comments] |
| Optimized Bounties For 2020/08/06 Posted: 06 Aug 2020 10:32 AM PDT Deer trivia: Deer used to be classified into two categories, Old World and New World, based on where they were geographically located. Old World deer were those native to Asia and various island nations, while New World deer were those native to Europe, North America, and South America. The classification still exists, but nowadays it doesn't refer to their geographical distribution, but to their feet, oddly enough. Deer that evolved in certain environments (like Old World and New World) evolved different bone structures in their legs and feet. Step 1 - Chalk up another win for Christopher Columbus. Step 2 - Pick up the following Dailies and Weeklies. Tower Bounties:
Planetaries
Step 3 - Follow these steps:
Total Non-Elemental Non-Weapon-Specific Bounties Cleared:
Total Time: 55 minutes Bounties Per Minute: .31 Rewards:
Season Ranks Per Hour: 1.11 Extra Weapon/Elemental Specific Bounties:

| Posted: 06 Aug 2020 03:48 AM PDT (This does not refer to everyone) The lfg groups that work best are the ones who use each others names, especially when identifying themselves. The ones that don't are the ones where someone says 'come to me!', 'get the pick up', 'help me with the tether'. There are 5 other players, I don't know who you are or if you are referring to me if we don't use names. [link] [comments] |
