Upgradable armor is the star of the show when it comes toDestiny 2’syearly Solstice event. The fancy new sets players get for free here aren’t just for show—they are completely practical when it comes to min-maxing Guardians as players can reroll each piece to have the perfect set of stats they need for a build.

At the same time, this upgrade process improves the visuals of these armor sets, making them some of the most unique-looking pieces aDestiny 2player can have in their wardrobe. Getting these practical and aesthetic upgrades is fairly easy, though players are going to have to sink a bit of time into the Solstice event itself if they want to get the set they’re looking for.
Destiny 2 Solstice: How to Upgrade Armor
Upgrading Solstice armor is pretty straightforward:
First, players need to finishthe short introductory questgiven by Eva Levante at the Tower. It includes a brief rundown of how the event works by chucking Guardians straight into the European Aerial Zone in a Bonfire Bash activity. Here, players simply need to beat enemies and throw glowing balls into the giant, paracausal bonfire until a bigger enemy spawns.
Completing a Bonfire Bash activity converts all Silver Leaves in the player’s inventory intoSilver Ash, which is used to reroll armor pieces. Before this, players need to insertKindlinginto their armor pieces first.
Kindling is another special event currency that can only be obtained by completing Event Card challenges. These challenges are fairly simple as well, and most of them can be done while grinding Bonfire Bash.
Once Kindling and Silver Ash are acquired, inspect adesired Solstice armor pieceand hover over their last two mod slots. The slot for Kindling will have three options: Small Kindling, Large Kindling, and Fully Rekindled. Each represents one reroll instance. Once an armor piece is Rekindled, all Solstice armor pieces in that same slot will be Rekindled as well. Fully Rekindling an armor piece will make it glow.
To reroll an armor piece, players must imbue it with Embers by spending Silver Ash. Hover over the sixth mod slot to see this option. Players can only reroll an armor piece three times before it becomes locked out. The third reroll of any Fully Rekindled armor piece will let players focus on which stat they want the armor piece to have. This stacks with Ghost Armorer mods.
Destiny 2is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
