New leaked armor pieces and ornaments for Destiny 2 Solstice 2023

Armor sets are one of the most essential rewards in a Solstice event. While most annual activities reward players with new exclusive Legendary weapons, the actual grind for Solstice is tied heavily to armor stats, their appearances, and more. The following post from @D2leaks shows the model of upcoming armor pieces for all three classes.

Other leaks showcase three new Ghost shells, possibly designed based on the three classes in the game.

Lastly, there seem to be three new Sparrows, one of which can be free to acquire from Eva Levante's shop. Destiny 2 Solstice is scheduled to arrive on July 18 at the usual weekly reset time.
