What is Destiny 2's Solstice of Heroes 2023 Event?
Solstice of Heroes is an event in Destiny 2 that celebrates the Guardian's year-long efforts. Traditionally, the event takes place in the Last City.

How to Play Solstice 2023 Events in Destiny 2
During the Solstice of Heroes 2023 event, the objective is to play Bonfire Bash and collect Silver Leaves. Silver Leaves can be used to reorganize armor statistics and can be converted into Silver Ash. Additionally, you can unlock weapons and armor by opening Engrams and solving ciphers.

By earning Kindling through the challenges of the Solstice of Heroes event, you can permanently upgrade your armor statistics. Each armor piece can be upgraded three times, and when it reaches the third level, it will begin to glow.
There is no other event in Destiny 2 that offers the opportunity to permanently increase armor statistics.

Solstice changes
This year, Bungie has announced that the Solstice event will feature increased enemy density, and the Bonfire Bash mode will be revamped to be more challenging overall. They have also revealed that two new enhancements will be introduced.

Solstice Strand Rocket Launcher
The first Strand rocket launcher in Destiny 2 can be obtained during the Solstice of Heroes event, and it shares a similar design theme.

Since the beginning of Lightfall, Bungie has been gradually adding more Strand-energized weapons to the game. Rocket launchers are still considered the best DPS (Damage per Second) weapons in the game, and experiencing how effective this new addition is will be interesting for players.
