All armor objectives from Destiny 2's Solstice of Heroes 2021 and how to complete them

With Week 9 in the Season of the Splicer being officially underway, the Guardians are busier than ever this year in Destiny 2 for the annual Solstice of Heroes 2021.

The new Solstice represents new objectives, a brand new armor set, new weapons, and more, with a limited time of one month for the Guardians to farm and upgrade everything.

The primary showcase of Solstice in Destiny 2 every year is the armor set that comes along with it. Everyone has to complete objectives pinned in a specific armor piece to upgrade its rarity and stats.

Guardians have to deploy into the EAZ, or European Aerial Zone, a unique area exclusive only during the Solstice event.

As everyone knows, it is not a Destiny 2 activity if there's no boss at the end of each one. So to succeed, multiple bosses must be killed within a specific time limit.

A final boss will spawn after the expiration of the time limit, followed by the spawning of several chests. The number of chests will depend on the number of bosses killed beforehand within the time limit.

Listed below are the objectives for the Solstice armors for each class and upgrades this year in Destiny 2

Hunter armor set objectives (Renewed)

The renewed armor set-pieces are the most common pieces of armor given to the Guardians by Eva Levante towards the very start of the Solstice event in Destiny 2.

The Guardians will then have to complete three objectives given on each piece of the renewed armor-set to progress further and unlock the next level of upgrades, namely Majestic and Magnificent.

Since most of the objectives in Solstice have much to do with elemental final blows to enemies, there is no doubt that the Hunters will look to use energy and power weapons as much as possible to complete each Solstice objective.

Destiny 2 has always been a game about elemental resonance and compatibility, so final blows with elemental weapons will grant an orb of the same element.

Since Guardians need to keep the Solstice armor equipped to finish the objectives, Hunters have to apply an extra push with their weapons inside the EAZ.

1) EAZ run completion.

Warlock armor set objectives (Renewed)

The objective of each class is to upgrade the armor piece to pretty much the same except for a few element changes.

Armor set objectives for all classes (Magnificent and Glow)

Magnificent Armor sets have the same objectives across all three classes in Destiny 2. This is the last stage for making the Solstice armor fully upgraded.

With each armor fully equipped, the Magnificent set will provide a unique glow to each armor piece for the Guardians.

Each objective needed to upgrade this last armor-set leans more towards the end-game content. So Guardians will have to carefully choose which armor-set they want for the loadout as equipping one specific Solstice armor for the objective is mandatory.

Headpiece objective for Magnificent:

Master and Grandmaster Nightfall Completion

Gauntlet objective for Magnificent:

Any Raid completion

Chest armor objective for Magnificent:

Any Dungeon completion

Leg armor objective for Magnificent:

Champion Kills Or, Guardians Defeated in Survival PvP Playlist and Trials of Osiris.

Class armor objective for Magnificent:

Legend of Master Lost Sector completion.

Destiny 2 holds many activities each season, ranging from permanent PvP and PvE activities to seasonal activities. However, the Solstice of Heroes has a charm of its own.

The community loves grinding, and with new pieces of armor every year along with a unique glow to each of them, there's no doubt that the Guardians will look to take advantage of this event and grind for better loot and better armor.
