Episode: Echoes’ Power level bands are as follows:
Soft Cap: You can reach the soft cap by obtaining any non-sunset gear, which includes:
A reliable way to reach the soft cap quickly is by obtaining vendor packages.
Hard Cap: To reach the hard cap, you primarily need Powerful Gear rewards from various activities. Prime Engrams can also help you achieve this cap.
Pinnacle Cap: The only way to increase your gear’s Power beyond 1,990 is through Pinnacle Gear rewards.
All these power levels can be achieved through your armor and weapons, but there’s also the artifact, which allows you to become even stronger. However, it won’t make you too powerful, as high-end content often has artificially limited power levels. Of course, you can use our Destiny 2 carry services to hit these power caps quickly.
Below, I’ll explain how to efficiently focus your efforts each week in Destiny 2 until you reach the 2000 power level and what to do next.
In the menu under the destinations tab, you’ll find all sources of Powerful and Pinnacle Gear, categorized by reward type. Remember, these activities are character-bound. If you have multiple characters, you can level up your second and third characters to boost your Power level more quickly. If done correctly, you’ll reach the maximum light level by the third week or possibly even by the second week.
First, take the character you prefer the most and start with them. You need to complete all Challenges while simultaneously working on tasks in the “Pathfinder,” which you can find in the bottom left corner after navigating to the Vanguard, Gambit, or Crucible tab. You can complete it multiple times and receive rewards each time, so always try to do it alongside your Challenges.
Regarding the Challenges, focus on those that reward you with Powerful Gear (Tier 1), such as the Weekly – Complete Gunsmith Bounties This vendor is located in the Tower, and to complete this challenge, you need to successfully finish 8 of his bounties.
There are also Ritual Activities, which should be approached wisely. The key is that you can complete them three times and receive a reward for each completion. Here, you should pay attention to the Pathfinder and see which activities you need to participate in to kill two birds with one stone.
The essence of Ritual Activities is that you need to complete 9 missions of your choice among Vanguard, Gambit, and Crucible. You can mix and match these as you like or play all matches in Crucible. However, it is more efficient to combine these with the Pathfinder or Vanguard missions, which already give Pinnacle rewards. Now, let’s talk about these rewards and activities.
Focus on completing Pinnacle Gear challenges when your items are at a similar Power level. This will significantly boost one slot, allowing Powerful Gear rewards to balance out your other slots. Make sure to complete bounties while working on weeklies, as the XP they provide will greatly speed up your Artifact’s progression.
Most quests in Destiny 2 give Pinnacle rewards, which is beneficial because these items offer the greatest power boost. However, keep in mind that higher rewards come with increased difficulty.
To get Pinnacle gear from most missions, you need a minimum power level. You can achieve this by completing the Final Shape campaign on Legendary difficulty, which rewards you with a full set of 1960 power level gear. Afterward, follow the earlier instructions and proceed to Pinnacle activities once you’ve completed everything else.
It’s straightforward: if you notice one of your slots falling behind, head to the Tower and buy that specific slot from the vendors. This should help balance the rest of your gear.
Now let’s get into the details. We’ve learned how to efficiently increase your level, so let’s talk about the order of tasks. Some Pinnacle rewards are easier to get than others.
Let’s go over what you should focus on first and what can be saved for later:
You can also join or create your own clan. There is a vendor in the Tower who will help you level up through clan rewards.
Once you’ve cleared all available Challenges on your map and completed the Pathfinder at least once, congratulations—you have two more characters to go!
When visiting the weekly rotation raid and the current raid, remember that you can purchase a Deepsight weapon once a week, which will help you craft the best weapons in the game more quickly.
Additionally, keep in mind that during the rotation week, you can farm the raid in rotation to obtain exotic weapons like Vex Mythoclast or Collective Obligation.
Don’t forget to visit the Tower from Friday to Tuesday. Xur arrives during this time, bringing lots of useful items!
Follow our instructions to stay efficient each week, allowing you to level up your Guardian quickly and build a powerful arsenal.
