Recent leaks from Destiny 2 indicate that the game is set to unveil some visually striking armor cosmetics and additional items for the upcoming Solstice 2025 limited-time event. Solstice is Destiny 2’s annual summer event, which introduces new limited-time experiences for players, filled with exclusive rewards and loot.
With over a decade since the original Destiny release and almost eight years since the launch of Destiny 2, long-time players are accustomed to a consistent schedule of events and updates. Although the recently released expansion promises significant enhancements to weapons, armor, loot, and even the UI, players can still anticipate regular events to discover new items and rewards. One of these is the yearly Solstice event, often brimming with some of the year’s most sought-after cosmetic gear and weapon drops.
If the leaked information holds true, the 2025 Solstice event may feature unimaginable options for fans. A Reddit user shared what seems to be a leaked promotional banner with the DestinyFashion community, showcasing new cosmetic armor sets that players can earn and buy during the event. The free armor set appears to be a revamped version of the Destiny 2 Solstice armor from 2019, now featuring upgrades and unique challenges to add a glowing white effect to players. Conversely, the premium armor set available in the Eververse store adopts a far more whimsical approach, outfitting Guardians in beach attire and aquatic-themed costumes.
Key Highlights of the Destiny 2 Solstice 2025 Leak
- Armor Sets: Beach-themed Eververse ornaments for Titan, Hunter, and Warlock, alongside an updated version of the 2019 Solstice armor.
- Weapons: Introductions of a Grenade Launcher and a Submachine Gun.
- Vehicles: New items including a Biplane ship and shark-themed Sparrows and Skimmers.
- Additional Items: A shader bundle and various beach and pool party-themed emotes.
Destiny 2 has embraced cosmetic upgrades that often diverge from the overall serious tone of the game, one prominent example being the interesting Star Wars crossover that occurred recently. The leaked armor sets for the Solstice 2025 event are poised to be among the most playful yet. Despite adequately covering characters, the designs evoke light-hearted beachwear styles and inflatable pool accessories. Specifically, the Warlock set includes a sun hat and sunglasses, as well as sarong bottoms, while the Hunter’s cloak is fashioned from a shark-themed beach towel. Additionally, the Titan gear features patterns reminiscent of Hawaiian shirts and inflatable pool toys.
The community’s reaction to the leaks has been predominantly positive, with many fans thrilled at the prospect of seeing the return and enhancement of the beloved 2019 Solstice gear. Some have noted that the Warlock outfit resembles a swimsuit, stirring anticipation for future designs that may diverge more significantly from the typical Destiny aesthetic. Enthusiasts are also excited to see the popular Superblack shader applied to the Hunter’s shark cloak, suggesting exhilarating new costume options.
