Yeartide Apex is a Submachine Gun added into Destiny 2 with Solstice 2025. This is a fantastic SMG, plus if you are high enough light level then it’s pretty easy to get tier 4 and tier 5 drops right now. Today I’m going to check out the stats, perks, god rolls plus how to get Yeartide Apex in Destiny 2.

How to get Yeartide Apex

Yeartide Apex is exclusive to the Solstice event. All you need to do is speak to Eva Levate in the Tower to kick off the event, then add some Solstice modifiers onto Portal activities. Then run through the event and while Solstice is on Solstice weapons, including the Yeartide Apex will drop from the end of the activity. Weapons are also dropping at +1 and occasionally at +2 above your current tier. For example, Levels 100-300 are dropping tier 3 and 4 weapons, 300-400 dropping tier 4 and 5, then when you hit 400 it’s raining tier 5 weapons, so now is a great time to farm Solstice weapons including the Yeartide Apex.
