Destiny 2’s latest expansion pack is still a ways off, but in the meantime, Bungie has released a limited-time Summer Solstice themed event called the Solstice of Heroes.
Participating in the event can potentially net players with 400 power level armour, the highest current power level available, prior to the release of the next expansion — in other words, it’s worth doing for those who want to be prepared for the Forsaken content update.
In order to grind out the required elements, players will have to familiarize themselves with orbs. Elemental orbs are a special new currency that can be accumulated upon logging in and equipping the new Scored armour set, which will be available for all players from the postmaster.
Guardians will then have to complete Redux missions, which are pretty much exactly what they sound like — remixed and retooled story missions from the Destiny 2 Campaign. The specific levels include Spark, Homecoming, Payback and 1AU.
Once Guardians have enough elemental orbs, they will be able to upgrade their Scorched armour set to the Rekindled Armour Set, which sits at 340 power.
A break down of all the required orbs for each class can be read down below:
Hunter
Head – Spark Redux mission, 90 solar orbs in the EDZ, 10 kills in the Crucible
Arms – Homecoming Redux mission, 150 arc orbs, complete a meditation with Ikora
Chest – Chosen Redux mission, 90 arc orbs in strikes, complete 10 Heroic public events
Legs – 1AU Redux mission, 150 void orbs, defeat 50 mini-bosses
Cloak – Payback Redux mission, get 30 kills with your Super in the Crucible, complete 10 patrols
Titan
Head – Spark Redux mission, 150 arc orbs, 10 kills in the Crucible
Arms – Homecoming Redux mission, 90 solar orbs in strikes, complete a meditation with Ikora
Chest – Chosen Redux mission, 90 void orbs in the EDZ, complete 10 Heroic public events
Legs – 1AU Redux mission, get 30 kills with your Super in the Crucible, defeat 50 mini-bosses
Mark – Payback Redux mission, 150 void orbs, complete 10 patrols

Legs – 1AU Redux mission, 90 void orbs in the EDZ, defeat 50 mini-bosses

Readers will notice that that the armour is only 340, in order to get it up to 400, the Rekindled armour needs to upgraded once more, to Respledent.
