Bungie has already spoken about “Bonfire Bash,” the new EAZ activity: “Another new feature coming to Solstice is an activity in the European Aerial Zone called Bonfire Bash, where Guardians will be building and stoking what can only be described as “paracausal bonfires” while the enemies of summer fun (including the Taken, Cabal, Hive, and Fallen) will be attempting to crash the party and extinguish the fires.

” However, we can already get a glimpse at some of the rewards we’re looking to earn this time around, including the new armor sets and the new Solstice weapon which will join the Compass Rose as a reward. We also know that it will have a new Origin Trait, but I have not seen that leak yet. Yes, these are datamines .

No, they are not story related so I don’t care about posting them. But be forewarned if you want to not…see these rewards, I guess.

Maybe they’ll call it Better Angels: We also have at least a cursory look at Solstice armor on all three classes, albeit only in tiny icon form, not actually on a character: While it has the traditional gold/white Solstice look, there’s a lot of black in there as well. This glimpse also does not show what will assuredly be the elemental glows on the armor, as unlocking those glows has been a part of every set so far. We do already have at least some information on how armor farming will work this time around, thanks to a past TWAB: “While you can get multiple instances of a helmet, for example, upgrading armor will allow you to reroll its stats and the stat potential of the armor will be shared across those drops.

” Solstice 2022 will also feature a cosmetics pass that you can buy to get a lot of cosmetics from the event for cheaper than it would be if you bought them all separately. It’s not clear what this will do yet to individualized/bright dust purchases, but we’ll have to see how it works in practice. I am glad, at the very least, the EAZ is changing things up after all this time, and I’m curious to see the unlock process for these sets, and what rolls this hand cannon can get this time around.

More to come, and I’d expect some news about Solstice in next week’s TWAB, perhaps. Follow me on Twitter , YouTube , Facebook and Instagram . Subscribe to my free weekly content round-up newsletter, God Rolls .
