That can help you get all of their power levels to about the same place, which will mean that instead of doing five milestones per week, you can do 10 or even 15, and then pool your characters’ resources together. You can have a total of three characters in Destiny 2 - a Titan, a Warlock, and a Hunter - and using two or all three of them gives you the chance to sort of leapfrog your characters by sharing equipment between them. Just like turning in reputation tokens, if you give the gunsmith enough parts, you will fill a bar on the screen and eventually earn some new, more powerful gear. Take these to the gunsmith at the Tower to increase your reputation with him. When rare and legendary drops are dismantled, they yield gunsmith materials. You should scrap any old green or blue drops with power levels below your most powerful items. In more traditional role-playing games, you might sell your old equipment, but in Destiny 2, you simply dismantle it from your menu screen by holding a specific button (square on PlayStation 4, for instance). This will raise your power level and, in turn, make it so you receive higher random drops. Instead, keep equipping your highest level gear. You shouldn’t get tied to any one piece of equipment. You’re going to be switching gear constantly while you work up to 1200. Save your gear - or dismantle it, as we’ll get to next - for the next step.ĭon’t be too precious here. At this stage, however, you’ll be raising your power level so frequently that any gains you’ll get from infusing will quickly become invalid. You may be tempted to infuse lower-powered gear into gear you actually like, raising that gear’s power level. Because your gear determines your overall power level, you’ll constantly filter through new equipment as you grind to level 1200. This isn’t really a leveling tip, but it’s important nonetheless. Now, most Lost Sectors stop giving out Legendary Engrams after the first few tries, and the overall drop rate is lower. Before the patch, certain Lost Sectors would give you a Legendary Engram every time you killed the boss, allowing you to earn the highest level gear possible in the shortest amount of time. In case there’s an area Bungie hasn’t patched yet, the leveling trick worked by repeating a Lost Sector over and over again. There were a few popular grinding spots previously, where players could reach the soft cap in a matter of an hour or so, but Bungie has been quick to rebalance any areas where this is possible. From there, the fastest way to level up is by playing Crucible and completing public events. At this stage, it’s simply a matter of playing Destiny 2 while avoiding any activities that reward Powerful gear or Pinnacle gear (the drops aren’t worth it before the soft cap).įor starters, get all the campaign missions done, making sure to pick up any gear that’s higher than your power level. Gear drops always scale with your level, so the higher-powered weapons you find later won’t show up if you’re below the cap. The soft level cap in Destiny 2 is 1200, and you don’t need to do anything special to reach it. This grind can go by really fast if you’re simply playing through the game’s campaign, as you’ll constantly get new gear just by playing.
You’ll mostly be seeing rare (blue) drops during this stretch, which will give you gear above your current power level until you hit that soft cap. As you play, you’ll get different gear drops, which are color-coded by rarity. We’ll explain each cap as we go, so don’t worry too much about them now. From there, there are three different level caps: If your power is low, spend time completing side objectives like public events and adventures to get better gear.Īs of the Beyond Light update, every player now starts at power level 1050, with every characters’ subclasses unlocked. As you move through the story, each activity has a suggested power level in the director.
With the New Light update, character levels were removed in favor of only power levels, and now, Bungie occasionally raises the base power level of new players to keep in line with the community.Īs with Light in Destiny, the power level is the average of all your gear and is a measurement of your overall strength, offensively and defensively. In previous iterations, you had both a character level (gained through experience) and a power level (gained through gear stats). Leveling can be a little confusing in Destiny 2 if you’re a newcomer. This guide is designed to take a complete beginner from the base power level to the power level cap in Destiny 2. However, if you’re a complete beginner, we recommend having our Destiny 2 beginner’s guide handy to make your first few hours a little easier.
