To summarize, the event will go live on July 18 at the weekly reset time. Players can expect a new Strand Rocket Launcher to be added to the game, alongside fresh armor set pieces for all classes.

What are the temporary currencies for Destiny 2 Solstice 2023?
Much like the previous edition of Solstice, the 2023's annual event will also include similar currencies for players to grind. Since one of the primary objectives for players in Destiny 2 Solstice will be to farm the best armor sets, currencies such as Silver Ash and Kindling will play vital roles.
Here is the list of all currencies for Solstice 2023 and their usage throughout the activity:
- Silver Leaves: Available by completing activities.
- Silver Ash: Can be transformed from Silver Leaves after completing the bonfire activity. Silver Ash can be used to reroll armor stats.
- Kindling: Available only from Event card challenges. This currency can upgrade Solstice armor sets and their stat roll potential.
Event card challenges will be tied to the Solstice triumph as well, as completing one will grant progress to the other.
How does the Destiny 2 Solstice event work?
Adding to the currencies mentioned above, each Solstice event brings in a unique area and game mode, the EAZ. The main objective here is to kill different enemies and bosses as marked via a waypoint on the map, and light up a bonfire at the center. Completing one EAZ activity will turn one Silver Leaf to Silver Ash, a currency necessary to reroll armor stats.
Completing the introductory quest will reward players with the new Strand Rocket Launcher, available with the following perks:
- Shot Swap, Pugilist, Demolitionist, Field Prep, Auto-Loading Holster, Impulse Amplifier, Ensemble.
- Cluster Bomb, Swashbuckler, Chain Reaction, Envious Assassin, One for All, Hatchling, and Adrenaline Junkie.
As announced by Bungie, the post above showcases the new upcoming armor sets, which will also be available for transmog.
