Destiny 2 continues to endure controversy, big bugs, questionable playercounts and an uncertain future in the Edge of Fate era, but there are certainly some bright spots, and one of them is the current, ending soon Solstice event.
For whatever reason, Bungie decided that Solstice should be 50x as rewarding as everything else in Destiny 2 right now with guaranteed armor and weapon drops a full Tier above your current level, something that my take dozens of hours to reach otherwise.
Grab a bunch of armor sets, sure, but I would advise getting a copy, or several, of the new SMG, Yeartide Apex, which with certain roles, could be the best legendary SMG in the game, thanks in no part to extreme power creep, and I’ve already found it to be one of my favorites ever in just over a week.
Different Tiers will give you different numbers of perks, and after hitting 400, I’m getting six perk Tier 5 drops I can combine in a number of ways. But even two perks in a column or two, correctly rolled normal perks are going to make this worthwhile. Here are the roles I’d pursue.
Heal Clip/Chaos Reshaped – This is healbot, the gun. Heal Clip already cures both you and allies after a kill reload, and then over time in addition to a damage increase, Chaos Reshaped will give you additional heals when it stacks. So long as you can keep killing, this will keep healing.

Heal Clip/Incandescent – It’s the classic combo. This is certainly a more solar-focused build for spreading scorch, and while there are a number of guns, including SMGs, that can roll this, Yeartide Apex is the best-feeling, I’d argue.
Attrition Orbs/Burning Ambition – This is the single target solar build that can apply scorch without a kill, while at the same time generating orbs. This is better for higher end content where frequent kills are harder to find and chunky enemies have lots of health.
Demolitionist/Chaos Reshaped or Incandescent – Obviously this is going to be for a grenade focused build, and then throwing one out will auto-reload you on top of that. With the grenade stat a huge draw now, it’s a great pick.
Lone Wolf/Target Lock – I don’t think this is the best SMG in Crucible or anything, but this is a solid combo if you wanted to try it out.
It’s a monster of a gun. My Tier 5 is never going to leave any solar build I make, though my Heal Clip/Chaos combo doesn’t even need that subclass to be good. Get one before it’s gone for a year as of next Tuesday.
