The Solstice of Heroes 2021 armor steps have a few differences this year in Destiny 2. While a lot of the general goals remain the same, their locations on the armor have been mixed up and some were replaced with new tasks. Anyone that wants to unlock the armor glows will need to work through the Renewed, Majestic and then the Magnificent Solstice of Heroes armor steps.
Like previous years, the Solstice of Heroes 2021 armor can be upgraded from Renewed (Rare) to Majestic (Legendary), and then to Magnificent. You must equip the Solstice of Heroes armor for the tasks to count. Some of the following information was gathered using the API system over at Light.gg.
Each class has the same requirements to upgrade the Solstice of Heroes armor to Magnificent. Those that have completed the steps in the past will be familiar with the kind of objectives. Thankfully, unlike previous years, Trials of Osiris is not an exclusive requirement.
