It’s that time again! Bungie has launched the 200 edition of Destiny 2’s Solstice of Heroes event, which provides prizes for your time in the form of special armor sets. These are always some of the more visually active armor sets in the game, and the event revolves around earning and then upgrading all the fancy armor. And upgrading the armor is quite the ordeal, with a list of requirements you need to fulfill for each piece. If you need help knowing what to do and keep track of, we got you covered with this guide.
How to Upgrade 2020 Solstice of Heroes Armor in Destiny 2
There’s a Solstice of Heroes set for each class in Destiny 2, and each set has three upgrade sets. There’s the Renewed (Rare) tier, then the Majestic (Legendary) tier, and a final “Magnificent” tier that adds a neat glowing effect to the armor. So, we’ll be breaking down each set organized by class and piece, with the requirements for each tier grouped together.
